Do you still want to consider this a healthy snack?) Still, it contains 13 grams of fat (9 g saturated fat), 1060mg of sodium and the carbohydrates come from refined white flour. Also see this label reproduced on The Daily Plate, 1 cup is 1 serving, which contains 300 calories. (Note: the previous label at Calorie Count had different numbers this paragraph has been edited to reflect the new label. And really, how satisfying is a cup noodle?
The rather healthy sounding Nissin Chicken Flavor with Vegetable Medley have 290 calories per 1 cup serving, which come almost exclusively from fat, white flour, and sugar.

When is the last time you ate just 1/2 a pack of instant ramen? A full pack, which is what most people have, is 380 calories, 126 of which are from fat, and most of the rest from white flour.Ĭup noodles (also called cup ramen, pot noodles, etc.) are just as bad. Take a look at the nutritional information for Maruchan instant beef noodles for example, noting that they suggest a serving size of half a pack. You may not be one of the people who is sensitive to the effects of MSG, but the high sodium content is definitely something be wary of. To make things worse, the instant soup mix has more fat in it, not to mention a lot of sodium, monosodium glutamate (MSG), preservatives and other mystery ingredients. The 5-packs-for-a-buck kind are definitely not air dried. There are air-dried instant ramen varieties out there, but they take a bit longer to cook (though it's only about 5 minutes), and more importantly are not the real cheap kind. In order to create a dessicated, long-keeping noodle that cooks in a couple of minutes, it's deep-fried in oil. So what makes instant ramen bad? It's the manufacturing process. (Ramen is a dish with Chinese roots, but modern instant ramen was invented in Japan.) It's possible also that instant ramen seems healthy, because it's noodles in soup - and all soups are hot and nourishing and good for you, right? Not quite. Some people erroneously think instant ramen is healthy just because it's Japanese. Indeed, instant ramen has become a go-to food for many people on tight budgets, including students.Īs I wrote, even during my very lean (budget-wise) years I didn't try to fill up on instant ramen, since it has been ingrained for a long time in my mind - by my mother, by home economics and health classes in school in Japan, not to mention plain common sense - that instant ramen is quite nutritionally horrendous. Perusing a number of links related to the food stamp budget experiments, a popular cheap food item that keeps coming up is instant ramen noodles. Incidentally, I've gotten a fair number of angry emails and comments to this post over the years, as though I'm attacking a fundamental right of people or something. I wrote this originally written back in 2007, and since then the popularity of instant ramen has continued to grow.
