? about quick quisine pasta

DX14AG Posts: 1,055 Joined: 2004/07/22	2004/10/05, 02:38 PM I bought this quick quisine pasta that's low in carbohydrates and pretty high in Protein. I was just wondering, is this a good source of protein? Another question, on the non calorie cooking spray of mine, it says it has no calories, but it says it has 8 grams of protein. Doesn't that mean 34 calories? It does say that it's not a good source of protein though.

Do you think I should eat a lot of this to get my recommended daily intake of protein, or should I just stick to tuna and chicken? I would still eat Tuna and Chicken, but can I use this as a protein supplier?
