So apparently a plate of rigatoni with cheese and red sauce according to the restaurant is like 1600 calories.... how the fuck is a single plate of food literally a full days worth of calories.... how! How is this normal....
@guardeddon Shouldnt be too much sugar in such a dish. Some from the tomatoes but I cant imagine that the bulk of the calories.
I'm sure like 2/3 of it is from the carbs.. its just insane how many calories can be in a single plate of food that isnt even an alfredo sauce or anything too crazy.
@freemo
Manufactured pasta sauces with a tomato base will, typically, include sugar.
I make my own, no sugar.
@guardeddon Not sure what you mean, tomato sauce would have sugar in it if you make your own or not. Tomatoes have sugar in them so you can not make a sauce at home without sugar. In fact only way to make a sugar free sauce would be with a manufacturing process that removed the sugar from tomatoes.
@freemo I should have been clear, I mean added sugar, not the naturally occurring sugars. Tomato is a fruit so, yes, natural sugar. Manufacturers of processed foods tend to add sugar.
@guardeddon Yes i know what you meant, but its confusing because all sugar is natural and from plants. Raw sugar is just sugar cane extract. Raw sugar is no different than sugar when its still inside the plant.
