They're so small. How fucked are the macros?

ive never heard anyone getting fat off ramen, its poverty food

>>21481688 (OP)
I eat 1 egg for breakfast and 1 top ramen and I lost 26lbs in a month so far

HUGE amount of fat in the noodles, besides carbs obviously. They are very calorie dense and unnutritious.

>>21481703
It's only 380 calories. If you only eat that for dinner and a small breakfast you automatically lose weight

>>21481707
You can say this about a small bag of candy too.

The point is it is calorie dense and lacking in things like fiber, protein, etc.

noodles are cheap quality, but the real thing to pay attention to is the flavor packets. they're mostly a shit ton of sodium and other junk. a small amount is usually fine. personally, i toss it and make my own broth from my spice cabinet and sometimes a concentrate broth

when i used to use the packets, i would dash a bit in to cook the noodles, then after they were done, i would strain them and put a bit more of the flavoring directly onto the drained noodles, then toss them into a hot pan to quickly stir fry. highly recommend. not healthy, but i mean you're eating fucking ramen

>>21481711
The broth is the healthiest part. Sodium is healthy.

I wish someone invent something like a cheap package filled with noodles, and like, some cheese, and you could mix some butter and milk with it, and make like a fancy Italian alfredo dish.

>>21481716
those exist. they're not great, but they exist.

>>21481716

I don't even use the flavor packet
I drain the water then add a tablespoon of crisco, with a dash of kosher salt, monosodium glutamate, and splenda
I believe it is the splenda that helps release the more floral notes of the crisco

One bag of good tasting ramen is around 500cal and thats half my worth of calories for weight loss, now, I don't eat it unless I'm on a cheat day or already done for the day and I still have some calories left over.

They're heavy dense man

>>21481688 (OP)
"They inflame your shit."

>>21481732
what the fuck

>>21481732
>crisco
>floral notes

>>21481732
just like mamma used to make

>>21481732
you've heard of cacio e pepe, now get ready for crisco e MSG

>>21481732
The noodles are already fried and filled with fat. I get sesame oil or even butter, but Crisco is for baking and making hardcore artery-clogging fried chicken. You don't put globs of it into things for flavor. It's vegetable shortening FFS. Flavorless.
You have to be trolling or you're one of those weirdos who grew up doing odd shit in your family and since you're so sheltered and antisocial you never even found out that you were so nuts and wrong about things. Sad to see.

>>21481709
But... the calories... it's all just about calories. If ALL you eat in a day is 3 bricks of ramen you will lose weight and save money. All you need to survive is $1 a day and water. Everything is simple when you're retarded.

>>21481823
We need to get one of those drones who claims to not enjoy food, and get them to do that as a test and see how sick they get. For science.
Nothing but one ramen pack per meal. Prepared however they want as long as they don't add meat or eggs or vegetables to it.

>>21481823
How fat are you guys where 3 packs makes you lose weight?
if I eat just 3, I GAIN weight

>>21481857
wait, 3 packs of ramen makes you gain wait? how malnourished are you?

>>21481868
Is US-based ramen like, less in calories or something? Cause 1 ramen pack is around 500-600

my weight is already considered tipping over to overweight so I'm not malnourished

>>21481823
everyone thinks they'll just eat below maintenance on shit macros, just sugar and fat with no vitamins or fiber or complex carbs, and no one ever does it.

>>21481857
Read more closely. All you eat in the entire day is three packs. That's under 1,200 calories. Everyone will lose weight if they only eat 1,200 calories.
It wouldn't be healthy without vitamins. It's a dumb way to get calories but it's cheap. I'd have trouble getting by on that. I'd want to eat three at a time with lots of stuff in it. I'd probably wolf my one pack down every meal and absolutely hate the diet. But again, the point was to assign this to one of the people who come here and post how they don't like food and it's just fuel and a waste of time and money. The Soylent people. Anyone else it would be like torture to subject them to nothing but ramen for a month. It's like the culinary version of solitary confinement. It will break a normal man. But not one of those fuel freaks. They'd probably enjoy the cheap month and not having to spend their precious time planning or making (3 minutes) tedious meals like everyone else.

>>21482076
They eat so much of it. That's why they're fat. People who eat empty fatty carbs eat a lot of it; entire bags of chips, entire sleeves of crackers/cookies in one sitting. Finishing the pizza. 3 pieces of pie. That's why the majority of Westerners are now overweight; that's what we eat. It's 'cheap' and abundant. If you're a fucking retard. The portions are just already too much. A footlong sub and a bag of chips and a sugar soda, or a cheeseburger and fries and a sweet coffee drink is probably a day's worth of calories. And a lot of people will have something comparable to that as a meal on a regular basis. I know people who leave the office every day and get a big fast food lunch. No matter where it's from it's a fuckton of food. You can't eat like that and sit around and then go home and play videogames and eat like that again with a few beers and be slim. That's why only 1/3 of us are slim now.

>>21481688 (OP)
For starters, many of them cheat whatever nutrition facts requirements exist by saying that the contents one packet is "two servings" which is ludicrous, so double the percentages. On that specific brand and flavour you get 1 packet being:
>66% of your daily rec salt intake.
>32% of your daily rec fat intake
>20% of your daily rec carb intake

>>21482085
true if you have the discipline to control your portion intake, which if a fattie could do they wouldn't be fat in the first place.

>>21481732
That's disgusting.

the only good ramen is Mama

>>21481713
i know it's bait, but came here to call this person an idiot just in case anyone thinks this is true

>>21481688 (OP)
Its not purely about calories in vs out. You have to account for the metabolical impacts certain foods have, especially processed foods like ramen noodles that will spike insulin and result in your body storing more energy as fat.

>be me
>kicked out immediately after graduating highschool
>"finally i can buy whatever food i want
>buy bulk top ramen
> 1 week later so sick almost die

>>21482110
>many of them cheat whatever nutrition facts requirements exist by saying that the contents one packet is "two servings" which is ludicrous
Not OPs

>32% of your daily rec fat intake
>20% of your daily rec carb intake
Irrelevant, eating more than 100% of rec fat isn't going to immediately turn you fat.

>>21481688 (OP)
one is two small, two is too many

>>21481688 (OP)
Hard to say if people are getting fat off it, but I'd imagine frequent consumers will probably have higher blood pressure from all the salt.
When I was younger I used to dump only half of the packet in. Now I'd do the whole thing cause I'd only eat this on a rare af occasion.

>>21481688 (OP)
When I visited the US, Americans were eating this every day in public. I'd estimate around 2 out of 5 random civilians would be walking around with a cup of ramen. It was a fascinating experience to say the least.

>>21481688 (OP)
that shit is 400kcal, it's physically imbbossible to fatten up with those.

>>21484824
I guess they're not particularly satiating, so you just end up eating more of the other stuff

>>21484836
I know, I eat them alongside an 85gr can of mackerel or bullet tuna. They can't be a full meal by themselves

>>21481688 (OP)
The noodles are fried, the flavoring package is extremely low on calories
You can replace the noodles with some protein and Vegetables for a low calorie meal

You'll be really hungry if all you eat is a brick of ramen.

>>21484842
400 empty calories is a lot when you're trying to lose weight, tho

>>21484634
Sounds like bullshit. What city was that? People don't walk around outdoors with "cups" of ramen. They make those microwave styrofoam noodle cups but there's no way that 40% of the people you saw in the United States were fucking walking around outside eating Cup o' Noodles.
kek, you're weird.

>>21482089
>That's why only 1/3 of us are slim now.
Feels good being a lean twink

>>21481688 (OP)
Ill eat 2 at a time but I only use half or one packet of seasoning. If I want more seasoning Ill add a little black pepper/crushed red pepper and paprika. Then have some veggies on the side.
If I only eat one its because Ill make it as a carb side for something like if Im out of potatos and made pork chops or whatever.
I cant say Ive lived off ramen though, never eaten it like every day but it really doesnt have much nutritional value at all, its just salt and filler. My guess is anyone getting "fat" from these is just them retaining water from all the sodium.

>>21482597
Okay never eat salt again and report back after a month

>>21481732
I swear to god no one on the internet uses the seasoning it comes with, or if they do it’s like only a fraction of it. Meanwhile I’m over here using the whole thing and then adding soy sauce/worcestershire to it

>>21481688 (OP)
お早うございます。
今日はラーメンを作ります。
楽しみですね。じゃ、始めましょう。
Yo, I still masturbate while eating top ramen
At a faster rate in the bigger quantities, it counts as rape When I'm slurping at this unbelievable paceI turn the temperature up all the way to sweat up on my faceIf you give no effort, if you got no moneyThen I got a cheap method Crack it open throw it in a pan and let it cook bitch Now that's a real education, fuck booksIf you wanna make it in college acknowledgeAll the flavors that be dropping Mad knowledge on these pussy ass canned goods We got chicken and beef to boost the manhood Anybody want a piece of me will have to get this ramen first Start with the shrimp and then the fire If you're fully blazed then this shit'll get you higher, hah Thirty-five cents a pack, three for a dollar Unbelievable pricing, that's the future of a blue collar worker And I'm talkin' bout ramen This shit'll fill you up when you're feeling like an African Come back when you're in the state that I'm in And say "Hi" to my homeboy, top ramen

Low satiety.

>>21481688 (OP)
they are incredible unhealthy too much salt and fat
dont treat them like a everyday meal insted treat it like eating sweets once in a while

Low satiety. It's the same reason cooklets go broke eating them.

>try to live "cheap" by eating ramen packets
>eating an entire case per day

>>21481823
If all you are was ramen 3 times a day you would end up in the hospital before the month is out. They have 0 nutrients.

>>21481688 (OP)
Salt, carbs, MSG. No protein, calcium, fiber or vitamins. You eat this and you will be hungry and depressed. Cigarettes are more healthy.

>>21488748
>MSG
I'm allergic to that

>>21481709
>The point is it is calorie dense and lacking in things like fiber, protein, etc.
On no not the indigestible fiber. May as well complain about a lack of rocks.

>>21481689
I can easily eat 3 packages at once and I will be hungry 4 hours later.

>>21488035
i still miss him bros...

>>21488698
the Japanese eat cup ramen every meal and they're fine

>>21481703
>14g of fat
>HUGE amounts

Okay /ck/ what would you add to a top ramen to fix the missing fibers/proteins
I usually add a diced hotdog and half a can of soy sprouts

>>21489631
Top ramen and maruchan instant noodles are inherently garbage being already pre fried in palm oil. Just buy any packaged noodles from the pasta aisle and add broth, bouillon (msg) cubes, and your preferred meat.

>>21489631
I’m surprised you would ask what people put in their ramen for protein. It’s always egg
