You should eat styrofoam instead, it's better for you
I would rather eat 491 calories of meatYorkshireman I: Right! I had to get up in the morning, at ten o'clock at night, half an hour before I went to bed, eat a lump of cold poison, work twenty-nine hours a day down mill and pay mill-owner for permission to come to work, and when we got home, our dad would kill us and dance about on our graves, singing Hallelujah!

because its a slower digesting carb so it wont spike insulin, when insulin levels are high you wont burn fat, ramen noodles are fast digesting. plus i think it has more chemicals in it than actual food sources. plus iam not sure but having more sodium would actually reduse water retetion or am i wrong ?

I do enjoy ramen every once in awhile. But, when I do, I only use half the seasoning pack. The sodium content is really quite excesive in some (over 100% daily rec. intake), so at least cut back on the sprinkles. Half a packet still flavours it nicely too.
But yeah, probably not the best food choice to eat regularly.Current Stack: AOR Ortho-Core / NOW Ultra Omega-3 / Kaizen Whey Isolate / AST Creatine Mono / Xtend

Depends on the brand, but should be similar to the above.
This is without a soupl base though. A basic udon soup broth consists of 3 things. Dashi (seaweed stock, either from sprinkles or make your own by boiling kombu seaweed), mirin (rice wine), and shoyu (soy sauce). These are fairly low in calories and moderate sodium. You don't really need alot to flavour your broth, and it tastes great.
You should be able to find all of these ingredients in pretty much any asian supermarket. And they are becoming more common in regular north-american chain supermarkets as well.Current Stack: AOR Ortho-Core / NOW Ultra Omega-3 / Kaizen Whey Isolate / AST Creatine Mono / Xtend

Ive never been able to grasp the way other ppl cook ramen. Granted its been well over a decade since ive ate it much, but i did regularly as a kid growing up.
I see ppl dumping the pack of noodles in a pan of water whole, when its cooked, just dump powder in... how can they tolerate that... disgusting...
First off, i have always crushed up the noodles into chucks. I don't need some 12 foot long noodle stand. Secondly, and the part i most never understood, was i RINSE it. Its a pasta. To me pasta gets rinsed. Just like when you make spaghetti in boiling water, you rinse it afterwards! THEN you fill it with just a little bit of water. Not so little that's its practically dry, but no so much it like a massive broth in chicken soup or anything. Just a little bit. Then i add the packets. The small but right amount of water ensures that its not dry, but not so much that the flavor is so deluded that its a waste. - When i see ppl poor packets into a full pan of water after cooking it makes me cringe. I cant even watch ppl eat it like that.

I agree that its not great for you, iron in it is but thats it. I dont believe it is a sign of someone being lazy. I used to eat it alot and it takes 3x longer to cook than oatmeal, so its not associated with being lazy, but definitely replace it, whole grain pasta with onion powder and extra virgin olive oil is what i do, i crave salt sometimes and i like noodles.
