These new noodles are trying to replace your standard spaghetti, but should you make the switch?
“Unlike fiber, most of the carbs in white flour pasta are a digestible starch, which can be stored in your muscles as glycogen,” Fear says. White pasta is also less likely to mess with your stomach. “For a typical three-day carb load before an important race, white pasta would be the safer choice because you are likely to be eating a large amount of it, and you don’t want large amounts of dietary fiber potentially adding bathroom stops to your race,” she explains.
Where bean-based options have a clear edge? The protein department. “The extra protein is important to help with muscle and connective tissue repair, as well as for immune system maintenance,” Fear says. They’re also a good way to get in more iron, which can be especially beneficial for vegetarians and vegans who tend to get less compared to omnivores, notes Rumsey.Whole grain noodles are higher in fiber and won’t digest as quickly as white pasta.
