Do ramen noodle packets count as "broth"?



Recommended Posts

Because they are like 15 cents vs. a can of broth is two dollars.

thanks!

Yeppers, totally counts as broth. The one thing I did was buy the bouillon cubes. That way I could adjust the strength of the broth. The ramen noodle flavorings are super high sodium, and I didn't want the Water weight. I really enjoyed being able to have veggie, chicken or beef broth from the cubes. I think you can get 30 cubes for about 2bucks and each cube makes 1 cup of broth. No waste on the noodles.

I did use the cubes as well - and even found this stuff called Soup base. They had ham, turkey and veggie flavors as well. I even liked mixing up the flavors to change things up some - as much as broth can be changed up! LOL They're really inexpensive and can make up to 30 Soups per bottle I believe.

Ramen noodles Soup flavors do have a lot of sodium though and the MSG type. Just be cautious and I think you should be ok! :)

the ramen flavor packets were awesome when I had just about had it with my Protein Shakes. Chili lime was deeelicious!. Also, a can of Campbell's beef consomme has a relatively high Protein count, tastes good, and can be thinned out to make a lot more and still retains good flavor.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
