I'm not so sure,so I've collected several statements on the internet.
P.S. 1. Pasta here only refers to, noodles, steamed buns, buns, etc.. No fried pasta, sweet cakes, etc.
2. When comparing, pasta and rice are equal
Saying 1: Eating pasta is less fattening
Pasta's protein is higher than rice, and its starch is lower than that of rice, so just comparing pasta with rice in the same amount, it is less fattening. So from the nutrient composition, pasta is more conducive to weight loss than rice, but the key depends on the portion of food
But, according to the habits of life, when eating pasta, often dishes are less, because many patterns of pasta have been flavored. Eating rice, on the other hand, tends to require more dishes, then the amount of rice eaten in less. And eating more dishes is less fattening.
Saying two: eating pasta is not conducive to weight loss
In terms of the degree of digestion, there is no difference between rice and pasta, both are easy to digest food. But if you look at the weight, the water content of rice is higher than buns, pancakes and other pasta, and thus the caloric energy per unit weight is lower. This is probably why some people complain that "eating pasta is easy to get fat".
In terms of protein, although the amount of protein in noodles is higher than in rice, the quality of protein is lower than in rice. Noodles contain 40% of the "alcohol soluble protein", which is seriously deficient in lysine; rice "alcohol soluble protein" content of less than 20%, the biological value of rice protein is higher in common cereals. In other words, in terms of protein utilization of rice and noodles and even.
In terms of vitamins, in the past, the standard of living was low, and there were few side dishes, so eating rice was really easy to suffer from nutritional deficiencies. But nowadays, all kinds of chicken, fish, meat, eggs to eat, vitamin B1 is no longer a major problem, the advantages of pasta is difficult to reflect.
Saying three: do not eat pasta at night
Pasta is rich in starch, as we all know, starch is a polymer of glucose, can be broken down into glucose under the action of a variety of enzymes in the body to break down the glucose part of the glucose is absorbed by the body to provide energy, part of the liver into hepatic glucose storage, and there are transformed into fat storage, due to the pasta starch content is higher than the rice. Since pasta has a higher starch content than rice, eating pasta often will easily lead to fat accumulation, thus gaining weight. So don't eat it at night especially.
Saying four: pasta is not a source of work, so rice is better
For those who prefer to eat pasta, experts say, for a white-collar employees, in the midday, if you just eat a bowl of beef noodle, in which protein, fat, carbohydrates and other three major macronutrient intake is not enough, especially some minerals, vitamins, and other nutrients is a lack of. And pasta will be quickly absorbed and utilized by the body, full and hungry quickly, it is easy to produce hunger, for the afternoon off late, or afternoon work intensity of people, they can provide calories is absolutely not enough. It is simply not possible to ensure that the body of a whole afternoon energy to meet the supply, certainly to lead to a variety of physiological activities in the afternoon, work efficiency to varying degrees of decline.
