Instant noodles and rice are foods that are commonly found in Indonesia. However, for those of you who are maintaining weight, choosing between these two types of food can be quite difficult. Actually, which one makes you fat faster and should be avoided when you are losing or maintaining weight? Check out the review below.
Same source of carbohydrates
Instant noodles and rice are both from processed grains. Basically, noodles and rice both function as carbohydrate sources. Carbohydrates are an important part of the daily diet. Because, carbohydrates as a function to provide the main energy in the body.
The body will break down carbohydrates into sugar which is then used as energy in the body. Without carbohydrates, the body can become increasingly weak and lack of main energy. Both noodles and rice are both needed carbohydrates that you can choose one at a time (not eaten together, for example instant noodles using white rice).
Nutritional content of instant noodles and white rice
One pack of instant noodles usually varies in size, which is around 75-90 grams. The number of calories a packet of noodles will vary, for example around 350-500 calories.
When viewed from the average size, instant noodles with seasonings, soy sauce, and complementary ingredients weighing 85 grams contain:
- 460 calories
- 18.8 grams of fat
- 9 grams of protein
- 66 grams of carbohydrates
Whereas if you take a secentong full of white rice or about 100 grams, then the following is the content:
- 175 calories
- 0.2 grams of fat
- 4 grams of protein
- 40 grams of carbohydrates
With the same portion, a packet of instant noodles complete with spices, soy sauce, and complementary ingredients will contribute more calories than rice alone.
Reported on the NHS UK website, one of the factors that make weight gain is the consumption of foods that are high in calories, especially fat and sugar.
Based on the nutritional value that has been compared above, that means instant noodles can accumulate more calories, fat, and sugar. So, the possibility of noodles can increase your weight faster. However, of course this will happen if you consume it without being accompanied by commensurate physical activity.
So, what should you do if you don't want to eat fat?
Actually, eating rice and eating noodles is not prohibited. What must be considered is the amount eaten and how it is processed.
Even though rice contributes to calories, fat, and smaller sugar, if the portion is excessive and added side dishes containing various fried foods, rice can also quickly make you fat. Because of this, your diet must indeed be graded and designed as a whole so that the nutrients are balanced.
It's best to avoid consuming instant noodles every day because of the risk of affecting blood pressure. A packet of instant noodles can contain 900-1,700 mg of sodium. Even though the limit of sodium intake per day is only 1,500 mg. If you eat instant noodles every day, how much sodium will you collect in the body? Most sodium can trigger a condition of high blood pressure (hypertension).
Most importantly, if you don't want to get fat fast and stay healthy, add other carbohydrate sources in your diet that are rich in fiber such as vegetables and fruits.
