The real 'super' noodles

I know alot of people who eat noodles for lunch, but alot of the noodles we can buy in the supermarket are full of salt and almost nutritionally useless. So I've got a  new lunch recipe that will help improve your noodles and help you towards your training needs.

Ingredients:
1 packet of chicken super noodles
half a pint of boiling water
100 grams of chicken
some roasted peppers


These noodles are packed with 25 grams of protein and yet are only 450 calories.

The chicken will provide you with a great source of lean protein and is one of the lowest calorie meats around. It is also packed with witamins B6 and B12 which help you get energy out of food and of course help with muscle building.

The roasted peppers come in a jar and are preserved in sunflower seed oil, this is good for two reasons. Firstly it removes the need for the company ot add salt and so you are reducing yuor overall salt intake, and second because it contains monounsaturated fats which help to boost our metabolism and so leads to our bodies burning more calories. They also contain many vital vitamins and count as 1 of our 5 a day so its s great thing to add to the dish.

The noodles themselves contain low GI carbs suprisingly and have the lowest saturated fat content of all pre-prepared noodles. They are also quick and easy to make so it saves you time for other things in your day.
