I would say that almost all our meals have carbs. We have spaghetti or a pasta based meal at least twice a week, usually more. Potatoes at least once a week. Rice every couple of weeks. And a lot of times, if it's a red sauce meal, we'll have bread as well. For the most part, I don't think our serving sizes are too crazy. My husband's waist is due to the snacking he does. No doubt about it. He has been working really hard though and it's coming off. IF I get regular exercise, I don't gain either. I do snack less than he does though.
I really do believe it's about moderation and exercise. I think the low carb/low protien/low whatever diet of the moment is nothing but a fad and that we need them all to be healthy

By the way...that cheese zucchini manicotti sounds awesome. Do you make it or buy it.
