noodles

The options are endless when it comes to takeout, which makes it easy to rely on restaurants for your daily grub. Hey, sometimes you just need some hot, comforting noodles conveniently packed up in one of those cute cardboard containers. But if takeout becomes a daily habit, you could be heading for some problems.

While there are several healthy pasta varieties that are making a comeback, one of the healthiest alternatives to date is spaghetti squash. In fact, 1 cup of spaghetti squash noodles only has 42 calories, compared to about 200 calories for 1 cup of traditional pasta, according to the USDA National Nutrient Database.
