Zero calorie noodles

Anyone else eating (I use the term loosely!) these?

Super expensive for what you're getting - they're like 95% water - but great if you're cutting or just trying to loose weight and hate feeling hungry. Especially if you're reducing carbs. My 600 calories stir fry has gone from disappointing to feeling super stuffed as I can almost double the meat and veg and still come in under.

Cheers man - good tip.

The ones I had literally tasted of nothing on their own, but with soy sauce in a stir fry I couldn't really tell the difference between them and glass noodles.

These are the ones I had ..

... from the rainforest. They have literally zero flavour and work dry fried or boiled.

I just took a gamble and ordered 20 from the asiancook shop (about 1/4 the price) and hoping for more of the same.

Cheers guys - I check out cauliflower rice and spiralising.

Just eat normal noodles FFS, watch portion size.

That's what I've been doing. By the book, to the calorie. Leaves me hungry and ****ed off. With these noodles I free up enough calories to have this in one sitting and not go over.

a food with zero calories will also not be satiating and likely has minimal micronutrients.

Sure. I use these purely to trick myself when craving carbs. It's bread and pasta and noodles etc that I crave when cutting and these make it easier. Load up on meat and veg and a pack or two of these to feel full. There's few things more disappointing than finishing a meal and still feeling hungry!
