    This sounds terrible but seeing as how I already have those ingredients and am a stupidly low cal target (for me) I'll give it a crack tomorrow.

    Very interesting!! Never thought of using shirataki noodles for something like mac and cheese... I will try it sometime next week and let you know how it tastes. lol

    Don't.It'sa trap.

    Seriously. I've tried 'mac and cheese' with shirataki noodles before. It comes out horrible. The cheese and the shirataki noodles do not mix. At all.

    For those saying I have an eating disorder -- uh, first of all I don't log everything I eat in my diary. I'm actually REALLY bad about it. I've been averaging about 1500-2000 calories with exercise. You really shouldn't make an assumption about someone's mental health. Just because it isn't in my diary doesn't mean I didn't eat it. I've actually been really bad about tracking lately because I've been super busy with school.

    As for the noodles--yeah I figured it was probably too good to be true but I just wondered if anyone had tried them/if they were worth trying. Thanks for the replies for people who actually decided to respond to the topic.

    I tried something very similar & while I have a high tolerance for low carb faux dishes this was disgusting. If ya don't mind yet another low carb cauliflower faux dish, I did like

    No harm in trying it! Cooking and tasting new alternative foods is my personal fun hobby even if it might turn out bad. Lol. :)

    In.

    Mainly because Im curious how it turns out. This concoction sounds like something I'd only eat when I'm like 7 days away from a paycheck and am for some reason really broke and thinking about how to combine random stuff in my cupboards

    I agree, this doesn't sound like the best recipe... But, come on, give her a break.... I have posted many recipes here and have never seen such critical comments. Don't like it, move on.. Isn't life tough enough????
