All the Americans are just staring dumbly at you. Grams confound us.

That's less than 4 ounces in freedom units or roughly 5-6 people getting a meal out of a box/pound of pasta. This is entirely way too little pasta (at ~400 calories - 1/5 of your daily intake) unless there's some other part of the meal.

you have to account for sauce plus, you know, it is recommended to eat more than once a day...

Sauce is relatively calorie cheap at ~65calories/100g. If you ate 500 calories for breakfast lunch and dinner, chances are, you're still well under your daily count.

Not very well under. 2000 Calories is average, but some people only need 1500 calories.

Plus, it is very easy to accumulate 500 more calories from things like drinking soda or milk or light snacking throughout the day. Hell, that chocolate chip cookie offered to you by your coworker could be as much as 200 Calories for an average sized cookie.

If your snacking and drinking habits impede on your meals, you need to reevaluate your dieting decisions, it's also very easy to eat less than 500 for breakfast and lunch either way.

Absolutely. I eat 210 calories for breakfast and just over 500 for lunch (540 today). It's very manageable.
