Fat

It depends on the soup.Clear broth has about 5 grams of fat and thick soup has about 15 grams.You can gauge how much oil there is in a bowl by looking at the surface of the soup.For thick soup, some oil is emulsified in the soup.There is about 1 to 2 grams of fat from chashu too.In total there is about 7 to 17 grams of fat in one bowl of ramen.Considering that the suggested fat per meal is about 14 to 25 grams.It is not too much.So, the three major nutrients are fine.

What about the rest of them?

Vitamins

Ramen doesn't have a lot of vegetables. 

There are some vegetable such as seaweed, spinach, and green onions, but there is not enough of it in a bowl of ramen.There are some vitamins from meat and flour......And there are some vitamins in the broth (in the form of water-soluble vitamins).However, ramen contains too little vitamins.Ramen lacks vitamin A, D, E, and K since they are fat-soluble vitamins. Vitamin C is also lacking since it is easily affected by heat.

Minerals

Ramen lacks some minerals such as iron and calcium.

The biggest problem of ramen is fibers and salt

As I have previously mentioned, there is too little vegetables in a bowl of ramen.

So, that means there is very little fiber. Usually ramen contains only 4 grams of fiber.But the suggested fiber serving per meal is 8 grams.As you know, if you don't have enough fiber, it can cause indigestion.In addition, the sodium content of ramen is a bit high.You shouldn't take over 2.5 grams of salt per meal.But if you drink the whole bowl of soup with your ramen, you take in about 10 grams of salt!That is why you shouldn't drink the whole bowl of ramen soup.If you stop drinking all the soup, there should be no problem with eating ramen.As you read, ramen has no problems in terms of protein, carbs, and fat.But in terms of vitamin, fiber, mineral, and salt, there is room for improvement.OK, I know what you’re thinking.

How can this problem be fixed...

The rich broth is very high in sodium content.Resist the temptation — leave the soup behind.When you drink a lot of ramen soup, you should get rid of the salt in your body to prevent high blood pressure.You should drink a lot of...Water, coffee, tea, and tea.After reading about ramen calories today, I hope you are not deterred from eating your next bowl of ramen.  Who can resist that bowl of rich and flavourful broth, paired with chewy noodles and salivating slow-cooked chashu slices?  Just remember, in order to keep a healthy and balanced lifestyle — everything in moderation.  PS: To remain unbiased in this blog post, I must remind readers to keep everything in moderation. But because I love ramen so much, I personally drink almost all of the broth in my ramen (Shh!) PPS: After knowing that you need to eat vegetable with ramen you probably want to try them at home.Do you have large Japanese ramen bowls, spoons, and chopsticks in your kitchen cupboard?If you don't or you want to get new set, then we have an opportunity you'll appreciate.Maybe our ramen bowls are for you...
