Week 3: Vermicelli Noodle Bowl Analysis

Welcome back! As I mentioned in my last blog, I made Vermicelli Noodle Bowl this week.   

I won’t list the recipe here, but I will put it in my cookbook.  

Protein: marinated chicken & beef  

Vegetables: Romaine lettuce, pickled daikon, and pickled cucumbers (you may also add pickled carrots or jalapeños for extra crunch and spice)  

Carbs: Vermicelli 

Analysis 

The average person has a 2,000-calorie (cal) diet, which can be split into three meals and a couple of snacks. A meal can range from around 300-500cal, while snacks should be less than 200cal.  

For this vermicelli noodle bowl, the calorie level perfectly sits within the range for a meal.  

Another note to add is vermicelli is high in carbohydrates and calories although the calories won’t harm your health if consumed moderately. If you are looking for a low-calorie alternative, try shirataki or konjac noodles.  

I’ll see you on the next post for my next dish!
