How the fuck do you gain weight eating ramen, and why must fats give my lovely junk foods such a bad rep?! So I'm sitting here eating half a pack (aka the serving size and all I can possibly consume in one sitting without being sick) of ramen 1) because I'm poor & 2) because its fucking delicious salty goodness made up of amazingly cheap and easy to cook calories that my body needs after a day of being too busy to munch on more than a power bar and a box of raisins, and I'm thinking to myself....how the fuck do fats get fat off of ramen??? I've heard so many people be like "yeah i gained the freshman 15 65 eating too much ramen in undergrad, teehee!" and it doesn't make sense to me. The stuff is so filling for 190 calories, and all that hot, salty, yummy broth makes me full even before I get to the noodles. I get that it's not nutrient dense or good for you, but surely its impossible to over eat the stuff enough to actually gain weight from it! Hell, even if you eat nothing but a ramen for every meal its not more than what, 600 calories rounded up? 1,200 if you can stomach a whole pack at each sitting! Going by those numbers, if you eat ramen for every meal in college, you'd basically be loosing weight. I just don't get it man. Ramen, tuna, and kind bars are what's keeping me going this semester - plus those $1 bags of frozen mixed veggies from whale-mart - and I'm about 125 lbs at 5'6. Cooking takes me literally 2 minutes at night. If fats blame being poor/busy/can't cook/buying shitty food for their weight, I'm like walking proof that they're liars. And ramen rocks, so throw yourself off the propaganda train please fucking Fatty McFat Pants :K
