Pasta has 200 calories per serving (2 oz dry (56g), about 1 cup cooked).
Pasta's reputation as fattening is undeserved — a serving is only 200 cal. The problem is that restaurants serve 3-4 servings on one plate, and the sauce (cream, cheese, oil) often has more calories than the pasta itself.
No. A serving of pasta is 200 cal — totally reasonable. The issue is portion size (restaurants serve 3-4x a serving) and calorie-dense sauces. Pasta with marinara sauce at home? Perfectly fine for weight loss.
