Let’s be real—who eats just one serving of spaghetti? A “serving” is about one cup cooked, but most dinner plates hold three times that. And that’s okay—as long as you know the deal. Overeating any carb-rich food can lead to weight gain, which can indirectly raise cholesterol.
But here’s the cool part: your body is forgiving. A pasta-heavy meal once in a while won’t wreck your numbers. Consistency matters more than perfection. It’s like a dance—one misstep doesn’t end the song.
