    Ramen is horrible! Have you read the nutrition label on that? the sodium alone is enough to kill you. Also you have to double the numbers for some becuase they actually list it as two servings in a package but everyone just eats one package so that isn't realistic.

    If you love Ramen and do not want to give it up try Dr McDougle's Ramen Big Cups. Loaded with nutrients, way lower sodium than traditional Ramen and pretty freaking delicious.

    I'm not dead.

    It's just carbs and sodium, pretty much, so not going to do much for you nutritionally. I wouldn't make them a big part of my diet but if I wanted some on occasion, I would have them. (Granted, I can't remember the last time I wanted them, but to each her own...)

    Also, if you like the noodles themselves, you can skip the flavor packet and make your own toppings for them... much better in my opinon!

    You will pry my ramen noodles from my sodium-inflated cold dead hands. Cooked with an egg & some bok choy, then a spash of mirin & some sriatcha, om nom nom.

    YES! Because carbs will kill you! :noway:

    It's like anything else. Does it fit into your calorie and macro goals?

    Skipping the flavor packet will help with the sodium. Plenty of options out there for spicing them up otherwise. Lots of cool recipes out there for crunchy oriental salads that use them too. Be creative! :drinker:

    The only reason I don't eat Ramen is because of my intolerance. I love and miss my Ramen.

    Intolerant? Are you an anti-Ramenite?

    And me. I love how people say "no nutrition". Why do they call carbohydrates, fat, and protein macro-nutrients? Carbohydrates and fat are by definition nutrients. That's the stuff Ramen is made of. I need that stuff. Ramen helps me get it. Nary a week goes by without my Top Ramen.

    I LOVE Ramen! Especially late at night. If I can't sleep I really want it. I have not had it since I started and the two huge boxes of them are staring at me all day......... also I use the noodles for stir fry sometimes. I toss the packet when I do that.
