Top Ramen

[ichoosenottorun]

I'm just wondering if Top Ramen, like the noodles that come in the little package, are a healthy source of carbs. They have a lot of carbs in them, so I'm just wondering if they're healthy or if they're fattening or anything like that.

just stay away from top ramon, every other day theres anotha post about it, just make noodles urself or eat potatoes or rice for carbs and if ur really carb consious eat brown rice whole wheat bread or sweet potatoes

[ichoosenottorun]

Sweet potatoes? What about regular potatoes?

[Sibrek]

both potatoes are healthy sources of carbs, although sweet potatoes are a bit moreso

[ichoosenottorun]

Hmm... well maybe I'll go and buy some, but we usually only have regular potatoes in the house. What's the healthiest way to prepare them, just bake them or could I cook some on the stovetop?

ramen noodles are prolly ok occasionally.. but they have way too much sodium i think... go with rice

[ichoosenottorun]

I don't put in the packet of soy sauce or whatever it is, which I'm guessing is where all of the sodium comes from.

Yea i eat maybe a pack of ramen noodles as a snack... 26 carbs 5g protein not very much but it holds me over til dinner or i have a pack before i go to bed with a whey shake

I throw in some canned chicken with my ramens for more protien, and sadly, more sodium. Tastes good though.

im thinking if u dont add the seasoning it wouldn't be that bad...cuz then ur just left with noodles

[Fon7ana]

i think the noodles are basically starch and sodium.. go with rice.
