Counting calories: Rice or noodles

[CS Chua]

Which has lesser calories? A typical bowl of noodles compare to a bowl of either white rice or brown rice. Noodles will be wanton mee (1.5) or koey teow soup or curry mee. Anyone knows for sure?

Rice got more calories so more full? Right?

[cml]

I think a more accurage measurement would be the weight of both rice/noodles excluding the soup. By weight alone it should be about the same amount of calories but because a bow of mee contains either soup or if dry is not compact as rice so my guessimate would be to measure it sans the soup base .

A bowl of rice contains only rice. A bowl of noodles can have other food (with calories) including meat, OIL, "soy" sauce etc. Only way to be sure is to burn it and see how many calories it produces.

I find rice heavier and therefore I can safely assume that it has more calories than noodles.

OK, too many variables. What about chap fun with 2 meat and 1 veggie vs a wanton mee, or curry me.

[tictactoe]

Shirataki noodles = 0 calories. Also 0 taste and 0 nutrients

But olde Mean Chef like to eat from Bak Good Teh with rice, lamb good teh or beef good teh with toasted bread - all highly gllycemic index if not burnt in time.

But with all those cooking, washing and mopping, all those indexes went down like Nasdaq or Dow Jones.

So that;s why you dont see a fat Zing - just tall, young and handsome as I use the rinse rice water as SK1

Ok, sometimes the Chef can cook some stories, too. Afterall, you kenot trust what they post in the public forum or what they put in the swanky restaurant like KFC logo that reads - finger licking good.

BTW, it is always good to eat plain white steamed rice because cooks dont add MSG in the plain white rice. Otherwise, how to make money from you guys if you dun wan to order chicken or bull dishes
