Weight Loss Forum / Low Carb / April 2008Soy Noodles - really low carb?
I buy soy noodles from a local Asian grocer and they state they are 7 g carbs per serving (2 servings per package) - and 7grams fiber. Has anyone tried these before? I think they are just awesome but question the claims of zero (or near zero) carbs for final count....here are a couple pics I took of the packaging http://picasaweb.google.com/lowcarbmarc/Lowcarbshow/photo#5185145755466258978 http://picasaweb.google.com/lowcarbmarc/Lowcarbshow/photo#5185145759761226290 I usually stir fry these in a wok with some low sodium soy sauce, green peppers, onion and some thinly sliced beef or chicken.....really incredible and yummy - one package is good for two meals - so anyone have info on these?

I have not tried those noodles, but I will look for them in the store. Tomorrow, I am going to the Sunshine Health Foods store, to buy Shirataki noodles for my husband. They have 3g of carbs and 2g of fiber, per serving. http://www.house-foods.com/tofushirataki_faq.html Becca Saturday, I went to the Sunshine Health Foods store, to buy Shirataki noodles. They have 3g of carbs and 2g of fiber, per serving. http://www.house-foods.com/tofushirataki_faq.html The health food store was sold out, so I went to the Drug Emporium, and they had them ($1.50, 2 servings). I used these noodles in a Vietnamese soup called Pho. The noodles tasted fine, but they had just a little bit of a rubbery texture to them. It is hard to describe. In Pho they were okay, but I think I would like these noodles better with spaghetti. They also had fettuccine. Becca > Saturday, I went to the Sunshine Health Foods store, to buy Shirataki > noodles.

LOL We bought some more shirataki noodles today, because my husband wants to try them in spaghetti. He likes them! I think the cheese has slipped off his cracker. Becca > You are right.

Have him try Nutrition Kitchen golden soybean pasta. Much better. Susan > x-no-archive: yes > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > Susan Thanks, I will look for these at the store this week.

I found that boiling them for 15-20 minutes instead of the few minutes it says on the bag makes them less rubbery. Putting them in the sauce toward the end of cooking it helps too.

Since some labels prededuct fiber and some don't, let's run the numbers on the label to see which apply in this case. According to the label: - Step 1, carbs per serving: Calories 200 Minus calories from fat 200 - 90 = 110 Protein 20g * 4 = 80 cal Minus calories from protein 110 - 80 = 30 Fiber 7g * 4 = 28 cal Minus calories from fiber 30 - 28 = 2. The claim is "Sugars less than 1g" and the calories are 2. That would mean there is 0.5 gram of net carb per serving. Step 2, carbs per package: Servings per container 2 2 carb calories per serving * 2 servings = 4 cal 4 cal / 4 = 1 gram The conclusion is if you use the bag as your serving it counts as 1 carb gram. I tend to get shirataki noodles. Their numbers work out the same way. Very close to zero, but they get to zero by chosing serving sizes carefully so they can round down to zero from 0.5 gram. Still, these noodles are lower carb than brocolli. |
