Aldi noodles - how many calories?
goosecustard

the packet is 108g.
The nutritional value says 149kcal "per 100g prepared product."
It says add 300ml of boiling water then boil for 3-4 minutes.


how many calories in the whole pack?

Isn't 300ml of water the equivalent of 300g? Take away a bit from loss of steam and you should be able to work it out.

Alternatively weigh it when you've made it up.

noodles are usually around four hundred calories a pack made up). i think.

thanks, I thought so..its not very exact though. Why dont they just tell me straight so i don't have to weigh it after Ive cooked it?

also it says its 6% fat. so that means including the water. so presumably its about 3 times as much really.

Yeah. Adding the water makes it 18% fat content.

Might be better for you to eat it without the water.

Adding water doesn't add any calories or fat where do you get your water from?!

I don't understand the bit about water making it 3 times the amount of fat either.

But as for the calories, it is measured per 100g of prepared product rather than as a total for the contents.

I think alt-f4 was deliberately misunderstanding and probably thought I was a bit thick too!
I must admit I knew the answer to all my questions but was really just highlighting the point:
Why don't they just put the calorific value of the actual product in the packet rather than the prepared product (which depending on preparation will vary). It would make it a lot easier to work out.

I know, most products like that have a dried weight/calorific value, as well as a separate table for prepared weight.

By pretending to be a bit thick I guess the food manufacturers have to assume some level of intelligence otherwise you end up with 'contains nuts' on peanut butter jars....oh wait a minute we have that already....

i might be wrong, but as its a percentage this time, wont it always be 6% fat? no matter how much water you put in?
