Furthermore,
100g of dry pasta contains 381 calories - which would be a normal portion.
Bread tends to contain 100 calories per slice (roughly, and this is for wholemeal), so about 400 cals for 4 slices of bread, which is what I'd consider to be a normal portion for a meal. Another source states that 100g of bread contains 300 calories.
Potato contains 100 cal per 100 grams, and with the average fist-sized/baking potato being 300g, again youre getting 300ish calories for your portion. What I'm trying to say is that there isn't really a significant difference in the energy levels of bread, pasta and potatoes. So I don't think it's a case of "too many carbs" in the pasta, as you suggested.
