i know i had the same attitude with ramen being a poor college student. it wasnt until i discovered EF and about got my head chewed off for eating them every day that i discovered they were probably one of the main reasons for my spare tire around my gut. after cutting them out of my diet i lost about 6 or 7 % bf in about 2 months. i will never touch a ramen noodle again. strictly for dumpsters.
