About Dried Noodles
A common noodle staple ingredient, high in carbs.
Health Benefits of Dried Noodles
More protein than white rice
100g of dried noodles has about 74.2g carbs and 10.3g protein. Made from wheat flour, noodles are quick and convenient, a household staple. Their protein (10.3g) beats white rice (2.6g), giving a more balanced carb-protein ratio.
Calories drop greatly after cooking
Cook 100g dry noodles for 3-5 minutes; cooked weight roughly triples and calories fall to about 140 kcal per 100g cooked. A serving of 80-100g dry (280-350 kcal) suits one meal.
Pair with vegetables and protein
Noodles are mainly carbs, so add plenty of vegetables and protein (egg, lean meat, tofu) for a complete meal. Soups use less oil than fried or dry-tossed noodles, so choose clear soup versions when watching weight.
