<p>how many of you college people out there live for this yummy,dirt cheap treat?</p>
<p>I never eat them.</p>
<p>I literally lived off of them at the beginning of school. There’s an Asian market across the street from campus and I was always there stocking up on ramen. I still love them, but I’m trying to adjust my diet so that it’s a little bit healthier and not so sodium-packed. Those noodles can contain over 1/2 of your recommended sodium for the day D:</p>
<p>so true about the sodium part!^ I heard that college people have many other uses for Ramen besides eating it! :O</p>
<p>I don’t live for this treat, I live on it. </p>
<p>Huge difference. </p>
<p>And yeah, the mass amounts of sodium is pretty much a given for cheap ramen.</p>
<p>the spice packet also contains MSG. If I eat one I usually just don’t use the spice packet.</p>
<p>One guy at the local university ate nothing but ramen and bread for about a year. He went to the doctor because his gums started turning black. Turns out he had scurvy. Scurvy! The doctor was literally in disbelief.</p>
<p>I hate ramen. I tried it once and refuse to eat it ever again.</p>
<p>I’m assuming Mr Noodles is ramen noodles. I don’t really know what ramen noodles are. </p>
<p>I try not to eat Mr. Noodles but when I do, I make the noodles like normal and then eat it with a fork. So basically all I’m getting is the wet noodles with a bit of the seasoning, just enough to make it taste good. But I never drink the liquid after I’ve eaten all the noodles, I just pour it out. So then I’m only actually consuming a fraction of the ridiculous amount of sodium right? Does everyone do this?</p>
<p>Yeah, Vitamin C cannot be produced in the human body. Only humans and some primates lack the genetic codes to internallu produce Vit C (dogs and cats would do just fine on bread and ramen noodles because they have the DNA to produce vit C)</p>

<p>dang. But what if you eat nothing but ramen, bread, and a ton of dietary supplements? Would that patch things up?</p>
<p>I think the only vitamin supplement proven to be effective is Vit D. The body needs foods that have vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, etc. Vegetables and fruits of a variety of colors. tr ramen noodles taste good, but have too much salt and MSG</p>
<p>also, if It’s white bread, you’re gonna get a vitamin B deficiency that will appear and kill you much sooner than scurvy. That’s if it’s not “enriched.”</p>
<p>Technically, supplements could work (not as well as actual food though) but since we are talking about eating cheap food, we cant really fork a bunch of money for supplements :P</p>
<p>I eat it maybe once a week. It’s only a snack for me.</p>
<p>I’ve only ate ramen once while at college…yeah, I’m totally missing out on the “experience”.
I ate it more at home though…didn’t add the flavor packet and instead added my own stuff. Egg, some soy sauce…whatever I could find to make it a somewhat meal.</p>
<p>The only time I eat ramen is when it gets to be about 2am and I’m still doing homework, hungry. Like AtlanticJumper, I just add my own sauces.</p>
<p>I tried to research if vitamin C supplements work… all I found is that there is little proof that a multivitamin works (I suspect it’s because the body can’t absorb it.) an egg contains many nutrients… I eat them raw (get organic or cage free if you want to eat raw eggs). If I could only eat 3 things (plus ramen noodloes and bread) I’d incorporate blue berries, spinach and cod liver oil into my diet… those 3 foods include almost everything you need (except raw calories).</p>
<p>I’m not at a four-year college, but I take community college classes as a high school student, so it still counts.</p>
<p>I love Ramen noodles of any type (including kim chee noodle bowls and Cup of Noodle). However, they are so unhealthy that my mom has persuaded me to stop eating Ramen. We have compromised, though; she makes me pho noodles a few times a week.</p>
<p>Noodles are my favorite food, hands down! They are my staple and my comfort food when I’m stressed with school and people. As you can tell, I love them with a passion haha.</p>
<p>My taste buds must be different as I don’t find them that interesting - quite bland, actually.</p>
