Does anyone know how much salt or sodium is in a typical packaged ramen bowl? Most of the ones I eat say something like 150mg or 75% of suggested daily intake (based on a 2000 calorie diet), but does the amount go down if you only use half the packet of flavoring? Also, do you have to drink the entire cup of soup to get the full dose of salt?

Where the dreamer and his dream?”
I figure every bowl is different.Originally Posted by Animeniax
The salt is in the flavor packet, not the noodles. So yes, your sodium intake is directly proportional to the about of flavor powder you pour in.
Assuming you added the entire packet.....yes.
I say screw it, and boil my ramen noodles with seasoned water (water with pepper flakes, cayenne pepper, hot sauce... stuff like that) and also, I like to put the whole damn packet in at times.

You have to try the ramen bowls, they have a lot more variety than the noodle packs, though they also cost a bit more. I typically only use half the flavor pack, and I used to pour out more than half the soup stock, figuring doing both would cut back on the bad stuff like BoC suggested. Recently though I started liking the soup stock more and drinking it all, especially with miso ramen where the stock is delicious miso soup. I eat almost 1 bowl a day, so my sodium intake is getting high, hence my concerns.

Eat more sugar to counteract the salt.
Heck just make the ramen with the sugar :P But seriously... if you only use half the packet of flavouring... you'd be cutting down yes and also if you only drink half of it. I wouldn't worry too badly though unless you add tons of salt to everything you eat or drink. THEN would I worry.

Salt water tastes good though. Especially tears.
Oh yeah... gotta love those tears. Yummeh.

Why don't you bring forth your concerns so that everyone else can concern over these concerns of yours concerning my pastime?
Leave me alone... I'm too busy concerning.

Just go back to touching yourself. kthx
I can't believe I'm about to say this, but: Return to talking about ramen, please.
personally, i don't trust the stuff and, although i ate it quite a bit in my first two years of college, I've sworn it off ever since. I'm sure the flavor pack includes all sorts of stuff, so cutting down on it couldn't hurt.
Seriously. How hard is it to stay on topic? Jesus tap dancing christ...
Both of you are warned. Friggin shitposters...

Humans are different from animals. We must die for a reason. Now is the time for us to regulate ourselves and reclaim our dignity. The one who holds endless potential and displays his strength and kindness to the world. Only mankind has God, a power that allows us to go above and beyond what we are now, a God that we call "possibility".
Truth be told, I took a few minutes to try to come up with a response to this, and I have to say, I still don't have one.

Does this really work, or will I just end up fat from all the sugar and bloated from the water-retention caused by the salt?

You'd end up pretty round after a while...

Actually, the really big thing to worry about is that insta-heart attack powder (MSG) that's inside the soup/boullion.

I thought this was supposed to be the warning? Then you come back to edit after python posts again and I get warned as well??
Makes no sense man. Just because people follow doesn't mean I'm leading...
In a sense... "shit posting" does fall under "general topics" o.O; So... it doesn't matter but it does. Does Jesus even tap dance? Stay tuned to find out on the Ramen Channel!
Anyways... who knows what's really in those packets. MSG...salt... loads of stuff. Might be small but still counts in the end after it builds up. Gotta love how they sneak forms of MSG into everything after the straight stuff got banned.

I used to eat MSG powder many many years ago at my grandparent's place. My grandma used it for cooking sometimes. I ate it in very small doses though (a couple grains every few weeks).
