Dishes & Meals

Pasta dishes come in many different forms – some flavored with herbs and garlic, others drenched in thick tomato-based sauces. The nutritional value of pasta dishes varies greatly depending on the type of pasta used as well as the accompanying sauce. The calorie chart below shows both the calories and the nutritional information for some of the most popular pasta dishes. Before you indulge in a pasta dish, check the nutrition label to see how many calories it has as well as other nutritional facts such as fat and protein content.

Soups come in a wide variety of flavors and textures. From chunky vegetables soups to creamy chowders, there is a soup for every preference. The nutritional value of soup varies greatly depending on the ingredients used. The nutrition facts for vegetable soups, for example, will show that they tend to be low in calories and high in nutrients. If you check the nutrition label for cream-based soups, however, you may see that they are high in calories and fats. Refer to the calorie chart for your favorite soups to determine the calories and nutritional information.

For many people, dessert is the highlight of any meal. Unfortunately, many desserts fail to deliver good nutritional value because they are high in calories but low in nutrients. The nutritional information for desserts varies from one type to another, of course, so you should consult the nutrition label or calorie chart for your favorite type of desserts to determine their nutrition facts. Though the details may vary from one type to another, desserts are generally high in calories and should therefore be enjoyed in moderation.
