I don't pay attention to any of my nutritional intake. I know when to stop eating, however. I usually just eat when I'm hungry and enough to make myself full -- not noting any of it's nutritional value. My habits have been working out fine, although I do have a habit of reading the nutritional facts and that amount of sodium turns me off for the pure reason I am not a big fan of salt.
Well you're still young, in the prime of your life by most standards. You also probably keep somewhat active working, so food intake isn't a huge concern. Lucky bastard.

I'm at the point yet I don't really care what I eat... and I eat when I'm hungry too and stop when I'm not. But like infidel I don't like salt too much either... at least not a full shaker of it in one meal item.

You're also still young enough to not worry too much about what you eat. Lucky bitc... I mean, lucky you.

*Curtsies* :P You were right the first time. And yeah... I don't really worry. I mean I can eat a full pizza by myself. Not that I do it often but still.

You mean one of those oven baked pizzas like DiGiorno's or Freschetta, or one from Pizza Hut? The oven baked frozen ones have something like 1400 calories, and I used to eat the whole thing myself for one meal.

The oven baked ones usually... I haven't been to Pizza Hut in a while or anywhere for that matter. Those are probably double the calories to eat one full of those.

@Animeniax: If you're in Manhattan I know of a couple of ramen places you could check out.
@Honoko: sorry, never been that far north, but thanks for the offer. I'm currently overseas, but I'm from Houston. I tried to find a ramen shop in Houston by asking at a local Japanese market, which directed me to a restaurant that might sell ramen, but not as a main course. It turned out they didn't sell ramen period, and they had no suggestions as to where to find a place. What sucked was that one of the girls suggested I try a ramen bowl from the supermarket, and I think she was being a smartass, but maybe she didn't mean it that way.

That's weird... doesn't Houston have a pretty strong Asian population? One of my roommates in college was from that area and I met a lot of Asians hailing from Plano (not that I know my Texas geography-- Houston and Plano could be on opposite sides of the state for all I know).
Haha, Plano is up near Dallas, about 250 miles north of Houston, but yes there is a large Asian population in Houston, just not Japanese. Vietnamese pho noodle soup dominates the Houston noodle restaurant market. I was thinking of opening a ramen shop, but for most Americans, they'd rather pay 25 cents for the square packet than $5 for a bowl.

Yummy! A nice Pho Ga (chicken) bowl.Originally Posted by Animeniax
Thanks, that reminds me I can go to that little Pho specialist in Paris, from true Vietnamese origin. I'll go on Friday.
Nicely, a large asian supermarket is nearby so I'll be able to buy Cup noodles, packages I've seen on that thread (if available) and cristalised ginger.

I've been hankering for some pho too, but I don't think there's any instant pho like there is instant ramen. I figure the raw beef would be tricky to package and preserve. I'll have to wait until I'm back in Houston to get some.

Many times I crack an egg or two into my ramen. Also throw in a scoop of rice too if I'm really hungry. Then a bunch of other seasoning like cayenne pepper.
The whole egg or just the yolk? I'll eat them at a restaurant but not when I make noodles at home. I do put strips of seaweed in my bowls of instant noodles. Adds even more salty goodness.

Are you talking about the dried Nori sheets sliced into strips or something completely different??
Now 99% disease free!
Well as for ramen, there are some pho packages. However like for rame, these are mainly pasta... so the interrest is limited.

Yep, dried nori strips. I used to eat them alone, but lost the taste for them. They do add to the flavor of a ramen meal though.
With pho it's the meat and stock that make the meal, the noodles are just filler. With ramen, the noodles are the meal, with everything else just garnish, so it's easier to package. That's how I feel about them anyway.
