Add some olive oil to the water when cooking the pasta. You can buy high protein pasta at the health food store. If it takes you some time to get used to the taste, just at first mix half regular pasta with half of the whole wheat or high protein. The brand we found is by Darielle, all natural, high fiber, high protein. 3/4 cup dry is 160 claories, 28 gr. of protein, 18 gr. of carbs,fiber 3 gr. -------------- As far as genetics go, the skies the limit.

Lots of veggies (green peppers, onions, tomatoes, mushrooms, all the good stuff) and No fat Dressing, I like it alot, but my daughter won't eat it because of the texture of the pasta. It really is a pasta you have like. -------------- I will lift my own weight someday!!!!!
