A large bowl of Pho - how many calories?

[Anonymous]

Google says about 500. I thought it was a lot more like close to 1000. 500 sounds right to you?

[Anonymous]

I think that sounds about right - 500.

I think it also depends on how fatty the meat is that you choose and how many noodles you eat.

And now I want pho!

[Anonymous]

I’d have guessed 1000 as well.

[Anonymous]

It’s mostly broth, meat and rice noodles. No where near 1000.

I made pho on Sunday. I left the noodles out of my bowl, but added it for my husband and kids. So good and healthy (sans noodles).

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

If I am going to have one, I am going to have it the “right” way - w/ noodles!!

I typically get the veggie pho, w/ tofu. The broth, veggies, herbs, and spice are next to no calories. The tofu adds some, and the noodles add most. I can't imagine it being more than 500 calories, which is amazing considering the volume (which I will eat ALL, noodles, carbs and all)

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

"...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.

Yes, people need carbs, but rice noodle is high in glycemic index, as compared to things like sweet potato or quinoa, which has more fiber.

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

Doesn’t mean you should never have them.

Moderation, people.
