Spaghetti is relatively high in both calories and carbohydrates. You can save some calories by not adding any sauce, butter, oil, cream, or meat, etc. Some people who feel that they need carbohydrates for working out, eat spaghetti beforehand.

It depends on what type of pasta you eat. We suggest whole wheat pasta as it is more filling which means you won't eat as much of it like you would with regular white pasta.

A tip is to make your sauce, whichever that may be..tomato, is the lowest fast option. A rule of thumb is to keep your pasta intake at a healthy level is by eating a smaller amount of pasta and more of the topping. (meat, vegetables, sauce etc) A trick we find helpful is instead of traditionally serving your pasta first on the plate, pour your sauce/topping on the plate first and then sprinkle a cup of pasta over top.

Any food with calories can be fattening. Consuming more calories than you expend can lead to fat gain.

well, most pastas don't have any fat in them, but if you load it down with cheese, sauce and other food it could be pretty unhealthy.

It's not about what you eat, it's about how much of it you eat. Pasta, in sensible amounts won't make you fat.

How do foods such as baked potatoes bread and pasta become fattening?

They don't "become fattening". There's really no such thing as a "fattening" food, there's just how many calories you consume vs. how many calories you expend. If the balance is positive, you'll gain weight; if the balance is negative, you'll lose weight. Potatoes, bread, and pasta all contain lots of starch (in fact, it's very nearly all they are). Starch is a complex polysaccharide that, during digestion, gets broken down into simple saccharides ... "sugars". With that in mind, it should be obvious why eating too much of it could result in weight gain.
