POT NOODLE

[j.u.s.t.l.i.z.]

i just fancied a pot noodle harmless you may think ! well think again the blooming calories in it omg i didnt think they was so fattening.
Chicken & mushroom flavour pot noodle has a whopping 377 calories fat 13.7g saturates 6.5g, im speachless to say the least !

it always amazes me how high noodles (and rice) are in calories. I used to add them to stir fries but don't anymore. Its ok if you are an athlete as you use them up for energy but its a no no any other time. Mystifies me how the chinese stay so thin but then again they only use noodles and rice at the end of a meal if they need a final fill up.

It is not the noodles or pasta that is the problem, just the packets of crap they have inside. Toss these away and add a splash of chilli, Soy sauce, Fish sauce, whatever takes your fancy. Long as it is not that dreaded powder!

I still find them very high for what they are - just a single helping of noodles can add 150 calories to a stir fry - not as bad as the 377 in a pot noodle though. I'd rather have another piece of protein and carbs tend to give me a ravenous appetite an hour later.

when i was at weight watchers a few years ago, out of a total of 20 points that i was allowed a day, a pot noodle was 8 points, and like has already been said, there isnt an ounce of anything useful in them, just totally empty calories. dawny

I think those SW diets work because you don't combine proteins and carbs - apparently the body process these two in completely different ways so has to work harder when you mix the two (so I have read anyway).
