How many grams of pasta do you have per serving?

[ShockWavezz]

Just wondering what a sensible portion of dry pasta is for a healthy serving?

180 - 190g for me and DP, she doesn't like a big portion but I eat loads. We do sometimes have leftovers, if I'm not feeling particularly greedy.

Oh and I weigh it because I'm not good at estimating, and I don't want to cook far too much. Or too little!

I just guess.

75g

@BlackRedGold

I weigh out 333g for our family of 4, (2 adults, one teen, one preteen). 2 500g packs make 3 meals that way, and I'm not left with lots of bags of different shapes with a tiny bit left in each.

Ha ha this is me!! I use 83g per person so I get 6 portions out of a 500g pack. Seems a good amount.

70g for me but only because of calorie counting. It isn’t enough would prefer 100g really.

85g each

In Old money it’s 2oz which is around 50g

I don't eat pasta anymore (stopped several years ago) but when I did it was around 100g per person (adults) plus massive amounts of sauce/topping or whatever it was cooked with. I might be petite but I've got a big appetite 😁

Actually, thinking back we often did 125g each. Could kill for a big bowl of pasta bolognese right now.

70 grams

No idea but I use the fresh, filled pasta from the fridge section. I have the full pack which is meant to be 2 portions.

I throw a whole pack in (500g) for 4 of us but my teenagers are at the “eat their own body weight in toast when they get in from school, inhale all available pasta for tea and then have a few weetabix for a snack an hour later” stage.

166g. I split a 500g bag of Fusilli into 3. I then eat a portion with 2 tins of sardines inc the oil with butter and ground salt/pepper.

Consistently double what we need. However we usually have edamame bean pasta which is 40% protein and completely life changing!

No idea I just eyeball it into the sauce pan. If there's too much it gets used for a pasta salad. Spaghetti apparently is meant to be a 5p piece as a portion size. Again I just eyeball it

I just do half a 500g bag between us. So that's 125g each. Although he gets more than me, I'm probably more 100g and he gets 150g.

Can't believe most folk saying 75g that's not very much at all. I know my plate certainly isn't the biggest as I'm not a very big eater.

Half a cup

My DH keeps telling me the recommended serving amount is 75g. I always tell him that’s the ridiculous serving they use to make the calories look reasonable. Like, when they say ‘one stick of Kit Kat is 64 calories’ or whatever, when most people don’t eat one stick of a Kit Kat. 50-75grams would leave me hungry.

I do 75g each with bolognaise sauce etc or 100g each with just sauce

@MindyStClaire

We do 60g for adults and half that for the (young) children.

30g pasta for children?? Why?? That's about 70 calories!!

70g per serving and a bit more for good luck!

60g for me, 120g for DH

60g usually, but it depends on what's in the sauce with it. I started weighing my food years ago to lose weight (Needed to lose 3 stone). At that time I was having over 100g and 60 looked tiny. I can judge 60g by eye now.

At 63 my appetite and ability to burn calories isn't what it used to be. As a result I'm amazed at, what is to me, the gargantuan appetites of so many posters.

DH and I will share a 250g pack of fresh pasta between us, usually tossed in pesto and some salad, and both feel really full afterwards.
