Incomplete Pasta ProteinThe protein in pasta is considered incomplete because it lacks a few of the essential amino acids. If all essential amino acids are not present the protein in pasta cannot be used for growth or maintenance of tissues. In this case the protein in pasta is often burned as fuel or converted into fat and stored. The protein will only be converted to fat if more calories are consumed than the body requires. Learn more on combining plant proteins so more protein in pasta is used for growth. The table below lists the protein content from different forms of pasta along with its carbohydrate content. The values shown are for 200 grams ( 7oz), which is roughly an average serving or a good plateful. Note the protein content of pasta is much higher when raw this is simply because it has not been cooked and contains no water. The weight of pasta will double after cooking, for example if 100 grams of dry pasta is cooked it will end up weighing over 200 grams but the protein content of the pasta would be the same. Use the raw value if you weigh out the pasta before cooking as weighing soggy cooked pasta is not practical, use the boiled value if you order from a restaurant.
