I have a stupid question. I love pasta and does wheat pasta count as low carb?
It doesn't count as low carb, but if you are doing certain lowER carb plans (South Beach, YOAD, etc), or if your weight/health allows it, then whole wheat products are allowed in very small moderation as long as there isn't fake food in it, like high fructose corn syrups, hydrogenated craps, etc.
I current do YOAD (The YOU! One a Diet "plan" by Dr. Oz, the guy in Oprah all the time) and so each morning I have Kashi oatmeal as it has unprocessed whole oats, whole flax seeds, etc - but that is my only source of whole grains each day.
