The case of instant noodles

I want to try doing an only eating ramen challenge to save money. I’m going to be doing it for like 2 months. Do you think its viable and what do you suggest I add so it’s more nutritious?

You shouldn't do that.

If you want to do it cheaply, you will eat instant noodles.

In the case of instant noodles, the calories are sufficient, but the protein and vitamins are insufficient.

So add eggs, meat and vegetables.

If this is difficult, simply add a raw egg. Boil the eggs in hot water.

Japanese raw eggs are especially good because they are fresh enough to be eaten raw, but if you live in a country where you can't eat them raw, you should cook them by making them fried.

As for vegetables, it is better to stir-fry bean sprouts, carrots, onions and cabbage.

Some people think that cooking vegetables is also troublesome.

At that time, I recommend frozen boiled spinach for bento.

In the case of bag noodles, you can eat them just by putting them in hot water.

After that, if you drink all the soup, it will be too salty, so don't drink the remaining soup and throw it away.

If you do these three things, instant noodles will be a very healthy food.

1.Add eggs or meat, which are proteins.

2.Add a vegetable source of vitamins.

3 . Do not drink leftover soup (to prevent excessive salt intake).

In other words, eat it like the cooking example on the package of instant noodles.

In other words, eating three meals of instant noodles without any ingredients like this for days on end will cause health problems.

Some people simply get it wrong, but instant noodles are not unhealthy.

Since the nutritional balance of instant noodles alone is skewed, adding ingredients with proper nutritional balance to instant noodles makes for a very healthy meal.
