Instant noodles are one of the greatest inventions of the 20th century. Even in the 21st century, people still like all kinds of instant noodles. The manufacturers of instant noodles have obviously sensed young people's love for instant noodles. They not only continue to innovate the old and create new ones, but also develop products to update the taste and incorporate foreign flavors to make instant noodles more colorful.

I have to say that now when we talk about cost-effective dining, or saving time and energy by not cooking, the first ingredient that comes to mind is instant noodles. It only takes 3 minutes, as long as you have a pot of hot water, you can enjoy a bowl of delicious noodles, which will satisfy your hunger and save time. In an accelerating society, the sales market of instant noodles continues to develop, and sales volume increases day by day. I believe everyone can name a few of these classic flavors.

What is very strange is that some people have always warned that eating noodles will make you gain weight. Many people said that a package of instant noodles originally weighed only 100 grams in a small package, but after eating the instant noodles, they felt as if they had gained weight. When they stood on the scale, they also found that they weighed 2 pounds heavier. Why do instant noodles, which are light and small in nature, make people gain weight after eating them?

1. Pour water

To prepare instant noodles, boiling water is indispensable. Do you only think of 100 grams of instant noodles, but ignore that the water you add also has a net weight? Although the weight of a bowl of water is nothing, after all, the net weight is there. Before you go to the bathroom, the bowl of water that enters your stomach is also part of your weight. When many friends eat instant noodles, they like to drink the soup noodles together in their stomachs. The net weight is not just 100 grams.

2. Adding ingredients

In addition to soup noodles, do you also like to add condiments when eating instant noodles? If you are a person who is used to adding eggs, sausage, tomatoes, cream cheese, mung bean cake, and vegetables to instant noodles, the weight of these added ingredients should not be underestimated. In particular, many friends are accustomed to adding cream cheese and mung bean cake to Japanese-style instant noodles. These ingredients are very high in calories.

3. Fried Chaos Skin

In addition to the soup noodles and the seasonings you use, the Chaos Skin of instant noodles itself is also one of the reasons why people are likely to gain weight. Some instant noodles still focus on using fried chaos skin. Although the fried chaos skin becomes fragrant after being brewed and can absorb a lot of the aroma of the sauce, fried chaos skin is more likely to make people gain weight. Eating too much fried Chaoshui instant noodles is not a problem of gaining 2 pounds.

However, there is no need to worry too much about the Chaos Skin issue now, because most brands of instant noodles have replaced Chaos Skin with blow-dried Chaos Skin. Although the taste is slightly different from that of fried instant noodles, it is healthier. It has less fat content and lower calories, making it less likely to gain weight after eating it. As for fried chaos skin, it doesn't matter if you eat it once or twice occasionally.
