The protein pasta with or without carbohydrates (Shirataki) that you can find on MuscleNutrition.com comes only from the best brands on the market and is the result of a perfect mix of high biological value vegetable proteins and zero calorie ingredients, such as konjac glucomannan fiber.
This type of pasta is usually composed of chickpeas, lentils, peas and other legumes, highly bioavailable protein sources that we also find in protein supplements for vegans, easily assimilated by the body and perfectly usable for building or maintaining muscles.
High-protein pasta is distinguished by:
- high protein percentage (min 30% - max 50-60%);
- complete amino acid profile, similar to the aminogram of animal foods (milk, eggs, meats);
- suitable for celiacs (for gluten-free types);
- reduced intake or total absence of carbohydrates, especially for low-calorie pasta such as Noodles and Shirataki.
Unlike penne, spaghetti, fusilli with a high protein content, Shirataki Noodles are particularly suitable for those who want to lose weight without suffering from nervous hunger attacks, which almost always characterize the strong dietary restrictions. Although they contain few or zero calories, in fact, these types of pasta contribute to the sense of satiety thanks to the contribution of Glucomannan Konjac. This is a dietary fiber capable of increasing in volume in contact with liquids, in order to provide that sense of gastric fullness that increases the sense of satisfaction and satiety.
