How many calories are in navy-style pasta
100 g of navy-style pasta contain about 190 kcal: 9.2 g of protein, 8 g of fat and 20.3 g of carbs. A 300 g plate is 570 kcal, about 28% of a 2,000 kcal day. Roughly 40% of the calories come from the pasta and almost half from the mince together with the frying oil.
Mince, canned meat or chicken
Historically navy-style pasta was made with canned stewed meat; today fried mince is more common. Pork and beef mince is fattier than beef, and chicken is the lightest, up to 90 kcal less per plate. Canned meat adds fat and salt. Grated cheese on top adds 70 kcal per 20 g.
How to make it lighter and healthier
Choose durum wheat pasta and cook it al dente - it keeps you full longer. Brown the mince in a non-stick pan without oil: it has enough fat of its own. Add onion, carrot, bell pepper or tomatoes to the mince - vegetables add volume and lower the calories of every spoonful.
Navy-style pasta on a diet
The dish is filling but low in vegetables and fiber. In a calorie deficit it works better to eat a 200 g serving with a big vegetable salad than a 300 g plate on its own. You get fewer calories and more food.
How to count your plate
Everyone uses a different ratio of pasta to mince, so 190 kcal per 100 g is a guide. Take a photo of your plate in MyFoodMate AI and the app estimates the serving and the share of meat.
