I've had them before OFF IP, but I wanted to know when you have them on IP, do you count it as your veggie?

Miracle Noodles are free, since they are 0/0/0. So you will still need your 4 cups of veggies.

I treat myself to the small package once a week after weigh in. I count them as 0-0-0 food. My coach ok'd it. They are made from a veggie but they are processed, so I would still get some real formed veggies in. Mushrooms and WF Alfredo sauce taste good with them.

I eat them in phase I... I count as 1 cup veggies but many on here eat them as a free item. I like them in a stir fry with WF Asian dressing. DH loves them too!

I count them as a "free 0/0/0" item - but I also limit all of my "free 0/0/0" items to 6 servings or less a day (Walden Farms, Miracle Noodles, Splenda, etc). Don't forget each bag is 3 servings each.

I assume that everything labeled 0/0/0 actually has 4 calories & 1 carb each (WF and Splenda do have this amount of 'negligible' calories to be considered 0/0/0 by the FDA, not sure about Miracle Noodles - but I am just always suspicious anyways).

And remember the flavored noodles actually have 15 calories/serving (45 calories/bag - at least the Garlic flavored ones do, found that out after I ordered a big batch). The 'plain' ones are better anyways IMHO.

Thanks so much everyone!

where can miracle noodles be purchased? Local grocery stores or online only?

What are miracle noodles?

Stores around me don't sell them, but here's a link if you're interested. http://www6.netrition.com/miracle_no...aki_pasta.html

I use iherb.com

I found Miracle Noodles in a nearby town and bought a package of the fettucine noodles along with some WF Alfredo Sauce...made an IP version of chicken alfredo with broccoli. I was looking forward to it since I have read that many others like them. I knew they would be different than regular pasta and alfredo sauce but wanted to try it.

I will not be making that again--I had a few bites and none of it tasted very good. I did not like the texture of the noodles and the seafood-like smell of them was very distracting to me as I am not a big seafood fan. The WF Alfredo Sauce was very bland.

I didn't finish it but threw it in the garbage because it just didn't "do it" for me I guess, instead I had a shake.

I would much rather have Big Mac in a Bowl using WF Thousand Island dressing...that is so yummy and filling to me.

To each his own but I am wondering what to do with the Miracle Noodles I ordered online since I didn't know I could find them locally.

Oh well.

Maybe it was just a bad combo. I used them in a stirfry and they were great!

I definitely am a big fan - but you do need to prep them to get rid of the fishy smell - rinse and blanch (instructions on the bag). I add the miracle noodles rice to my vanilla pudding for 'tapioca pudding' and love it. They don't really have the 'pasta' consistency I think would work for most people in Italian food stuff, but definitely stir frys are a great vehicle, particularly Asian stir frys as the consistency is pretty close to rice noodles.

Hi, I know everyone has their own preferences and I did follow the package directions for rinsing and blanching...they just weren't for me but it's great that others enjoy them. I don't think I am that picky of an eater but there was just something about them that I didn't care for at all and not sure I would be willing to try them again but I did order some so when they arrive I will try the ideas for the rice in pudding perhaps.
