What's wrong with noodles? People need carbs as part of a healthy diet.

Yes of course, but I prefer carbs from vegetables, not from noodles with little to no nutritional value.

You clearly don’t understand nutrition. People need to eat grains, too.

Please enlighten us with the benefits of rice noodles.

I make chicken pho at home. I would guess a big bowl is around 400-500 calories, depending on the amount of noodles and chicken. I also substitute the rice noodles with brown rice ramen noodles. Not the same, but still pretty good.

Americans are among the most obese and unhealthy populations, yet are pretty much the only population on the planet concerned about "carbs."

"...we ordered beef pho (medium or ‘regular’ size, with flank steak or eye of round) from several restaurants throughout the city ... On average, a medium bowl of pho contained three to four ounces of meat, six ounces of noodles, and 20 ounces of broth, along with an assortment of fresh herbs, onions, peppers, and bean sprouts. The calculated nutritional stats were 350 to 450 calories per bowl."

As noted, will vary depending on amount of meat and noodles and type of meat.

That sounds right to me. While there are some high calorie ingredients they tend to be a small part of the overall mix. Most pho isn't that heavily loaded with noodles.

Don’t know how many calories but certainly over 1000 mg sodium.

Pho always makes me want to take a nap.
