Crunching Numbers: Instant Ramen Noodles

Food can be expensive and becoming obese requires eating a lot of it. If you’re on a tight budget but still want to achieve your weight gain goals, instant ramen should be come a staple of your diet. Ramen noodles can be purchased at most grocery stores for only 20 cents and are completely devoid of any significant nutritional value. Take a look at what one package contains:

• 380 calories
• 1820mg of sodium
• 14g of fat (7g saturated)

For one fifth of a dollar you get 380 empty calories that are loaded with MSG and preservatives. Instant ramen noodles last forever so stock up.  I recommend eating 2 packages at a time. For only 40 cents you get 760 calories. Eat them in addition to your normal routine and your waistline will begin to expand in no time.
