High Protein Pasta
Posted 07-12-2008 at 01:33 PM by ryan
The Zone Diet is a well-known and respected diet from Dr Sears. However the commercial diet and website does seem to be quite focused on making products.
One particular product may be of interest - Zone pasta. The pasta was made to conform to Zone diet standards - and has a much higher amount of protein than normal pasta.
According to the USDA nutrient database - a 60g serving (dry) of pasta has around 5.5 grams of protein.
The Zone pasta has a massive 22 grams of protein.
Here is what the pasta is made from:
Durum wheat semolina, pea protein isolate, soy protein, high amylose maize starch, and egg white.
Most pasta is made just from wheat flour (and water).
As far as I'm aware this is the only high-protein pasta around. Weight for weight - it is much lower in carbohydrate than typical pasta. The big question has to be: What does it taste like? Anyone tried it?
