Pasta is often a runner’s first choice for a hearty and healthy meal. It contains easily digestible carbs that help us restock spent glycogen (energy) stores. Whole grain options are a great choice over refined pastas as they contain more fibre to fill you up. In addition they contain B vitamins that are crucial to energy metabolism, and disease-fighting compounds such as lignans. You can even buy whole-grain pasta with added omega-3 fats from ground flaxseed and added protein from ground lentils! Tasty, substantial and good for you, yum.
