Compare your weight to a healthy human weight, OP. If you weigh twice what you should, that means you're basically two people for portion sizing purposes.

They are intended to be eaten by normal people not a fatfuck like you that needs a pound of spaghetti for yourself

I'm not the OP, dummy. A hundred grams of pasta is a pretty small portion if that's the entire meal, though.

Three people ate their fill and there is still some left over.

You're calling other people fat and encouraging them to fill up on fucking sauce?
Hundred grams of pasta with a reasonable amount of sauce is not a big meal for a regular person, you autist.
Have some bread or salad on the side or maybe a small starter and dessert, however, and it seems much more reasonable.

Because they were made for you.

Because most people don't eat that much spaghetti? It's spaghetti as a base (like bread for a sandwich) with protein and some kind of vegetable. The proportion of each is balanced so that the carb is about a quarter, same with the protein and the veg is about half. Granted, the proportions of each will change depending on the recipe but it's standard nutritional advice.

Exactly, it's a normal meal. Normal thin healthy people in adulthood doesn't eat big meals as standard.

Nobody in this thread is saying that a pound of pasta is only for one person, though.
They're saying it's a small amount for five people.
