Exactly. I just cook the entire box, make enough sauce, then portion it out from there. No need to fuck with figuring out how much dry pasta is reasonable.
Just look at how much you have when it's uncooked and then remember what that much looks like after it's been cooked? Should start to get an idea after a few hundred pots of pasta. 🙃👌
I usualy make around 200g... just for myself. It's not thaat crazy. I now a lot of people who do so.
I'm a relatively thin dude. But to be fair I do a lot of sports (although I have been injured for the past 3 month and haven't stopped eating that much)
I think it just realy depends on how effectively your body handles the food and therefore atrongly varies from person to person.
That could be a reasonable amount based on the person. I'm a large framed dude, and when I was seriously trying to bulk through 7 days a week of HIIT, I had to eat like 5,000 Calories a day. My resting heart rate did get to the low 40s for a while, so that was cool (doctor said it was a good thing).
Btw, eating 5,000 Calories of healthy food a day fucking sucks. It's basically like eating is your full time job.
