I'm not syaing you should not indulge from time to time, I'm saying you should be careful when you give advice that is inaccurate.

Too much sodium.

I LOVE ramen and used to eat a lot of it. I would eat it for breakfast and snacks. It is a calorie budget killer (800 calories for one package) and the sodium is ridiculous. So, I would say in my opinion, unhealthy, although I love them.

I have replaced my ramen with homemade shirataki noodle soup any enjoy it almost as much. I also plan on trying kelp noodles and see what I think about those.

800 calories for one package? What kind of ramen are you eating??

Sorry, that was a type, it was supposed to say 400!!

I like the occasional ramen but after cooking it I dump out all the juice and mix in a little light ranch dressing instead. Gives it a nice kick. I don't like to eat it often because of the sodium levels and I hate waking up bloated but it sure is delicious once in a while.

They recieve a 'D' grade from me. They're great for warming up on a cold day, but not much else.

Reiteration: High sodium content is what really kills them. When I ate them, I used to only use half the seasoning packet and throw an egg in to add some protein and real vitamins/minerals.

There are better foods, but I can understand if you turn to them because you're under a budget crunch.

I get in the mood for them every once in a blue moon... used to LOVE adding in a slice of ghost pepper to the water as it was heating up, then taking it out (i'm not crazy enough to actually eat it!) before adding the noodles and salt packet.. totally not healthy but sometimes it is darn good!!!

they taste good with some canned tuna fish mixed in.

Yummy but not worth the sodium. I get a hankering for noodles etc, have found those tofu noodles in the produce section to be really good. The name escapes me, but my daughter was buying them for her daughter that had wheat allergies and they are low cal, protein + and overall really good. They come in a see thru bag all cooked up. Putting it on my grocery list, can't remember the name. Look by the tofu, sprouts etc.

Okay, the way we eat them...cook the noodles in plain water, drain them, then add whatever, whether it's a low sodium broth to make soup, or veggies and protein. Sometimes I shake a tiny amount of the seasoning packet on (the whole thing would be outrageously high in sodium), or sprinkle with garlic powder and other seasonings. Please also note that at least the Nissan Top Ramen block is actually a serving for two.

The seasoning packet is the killer more than the noodles. I don't eat the noodles anymore due to the carbs in it, rather spend those carb calories elsewhere.
