Ramen doesn't have any special weight gain properties.5

Op, is this a mental issue in regards to your intake of calories? Ramen is good especially if you add some protein and vegetables.3 -
Personally, I wouldn't eat the crap. Too many decent carb sources out there that actually have some micro value. That being said, it's not going to make you fat unless you eat too much of it, but anything will do that. Just keep it in your kcals, and remember, the flavor packets in the stuff have a lot of sodium in them, so you could see some water retention if your weren't supplementing sodium during your vlcd.
That being said, you're probably going to see a fair amount of water weight anyway, assuming that your vlcd wasn't all carbs.3 -

If you're coming off a medically supervised VLCD, you should talk to your medical team and get their recommendations on what you should eat coming off the diet.0 -

Ah, I see. Thank you.0 -
Ramen while tasty is probably not the best choice for healthy eating since it is essentially white flour. Having said that it is no better or worse than any other carb as far as weight gain is concerned. A calorie is a calorie. If you are going to indulge, count the calories and log them. I occasionally eat things that aren't necessarily the healthiest but once in a while it is okay to eat some comfort food. For optimum health while cutting calories you need to try to get more nutrient dense foods in when you can; find some things you like that are healthier. I've lost 65 pounds and found the only way this works for me is that I have to find things to eat in a way I can maintain for the rest of my life which is why crash dieting never worked for me. I've been on this now since January and I feel like I can go on forever if necessary (I still have 32 pounds to lose). Having said all that I have changed what I eat slowly but surely to include things that are healthier and the comfort food consumption has slowed down alot. Nonetheless there are times when a piece of white bread or egg noodles slip in. Good luck, you can do this.0

Maybe add an egg and a handful of spinach to it. Kind of like egg drop soup.3

Buy real ramen noodles and you should be fine. They sell them at Whole Foods, the typical ramen noodle packets have 0 nutritional value. Opt out of the seasoning packet if you must use the noodles and use bone broth or veggie broth2

If you're doing a crash diet I'd say you saved money and should buy something healthy to eat............ Ramen is junk food... deep fried, freeze dried noodles..... salt....... MSG or whatever
Its not good for you ?
I eat it occasionally cuz I effin luv it2 -
Id say the "crash diet" is more dangerous than the ramen.12

Ramen, in my opinion is for poor people who are starving and need loads of calories on a budget. The serving size is 1/2 the bag, (who eats half a bag of ramen,)1

As someone who tried to live on Ramen for a month (because poor), I can assure you that it's not even good for that. After the first week, I'd throw up about 60% of it that I tried to eat.1 -

I LOVE ramen, lol. Especially when I dress it up how I like it, drop an egg in it, or some leftover chicken, or some cheese or something, maybe replace the seasoning pack with my own spices. I tend to make two servings out of it about 70% of the time. Because calories and sodium.0
