Reddit reviews Organic Edamame Spaghetti - 2 lbs (907g)

I love this stuff -- my local costco in san francisco has it. This is the product: https://www.amazon.com/Organic-Edamame-Spaghetti-lbs-907g/dp/B00TCUM7X2


I find that half a serving is plenty (100 calories, 5 net carbs), and I like to serve it with meatballs and parmesan and good olive oil. It would also be great with pesto.

With edamame spaghetti for italian food and shirataki noodles for asian food, I never even wish I could eat normal noodles.

Just a quick search on it, carbs look a bit too high for these, 10 net carbs per serving.

Here are the amazon links: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004NSG8F6/ref=cm_sw_r_other_awd_GDTQwbMKKPH19 and https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00TCUM7X2/ref=cm_sw_r_other_awd_PHTQwbRBZAW2N. Looks like the black bean one is less here

1 - I have tried to start doing more lateral hip exercises over the last few weeks. But, it hasnt been anything spectacular. Honestly, I took the route of throwing in just a few exercises to get into a routine. Then, when it becomes part of my daily cycle, I will add in some more things. I used to do a 5 min plank exercise. Should probably throw that back in.

2 - I dont. Ive never considered doing it. I like bodyweight things. I built a pullup bar out of some lumber / a metal rod. That was fun to use. I feel like pullups are unreal body weight exercises.

3 - I think core is interesting. I read that the kenyans do nothing. And, I am curious how that works. I believe the theory was that they run on dirt roads / such varied terrain that they dont need to do core, etc.

Non Weight Training:
I recently just found edamame pasta at costco (buy it at costco, not on amazon). HOLY PROTEIN. It actually is fantastic. Lady friend and I ate that the last two nights with some bell peppers / cheese. HIGHLY recommend.

Costco! But they are also on Amazon and probably other places http://www.amazon.com/Organic-Edamame-Spaghetti-lbs-907g/dp/B00TCUM7X2

A large container of chopped up sweet potatoes.

A huge pot of this, cooked and then split up into individual portions:

(Amazon link here but cheaper at Costco, I believe it's around $9.79 for the 2 lb. box)

Is pretty good - esp with alfredo sauce

I believe that I bought these at Sam's club (maybe Costco) for around 10 dollars. They have the same item on Amazon, but it's inexplicably 2 and a half times more expensive.

As for the taste and texture, it has a very mild flavor and is close to al dente pasta. It's the best replacement for noodles that I've found. They cook up in 5 minutes and have a ridiculous amount of protein.

I bought a couple of boxes of Edamame noodles at Costco in Phoenix a couple of months ago, haven't tried them out yet!

Here are some substitutes:

Cauliflower Fried Rice

Alcohol

Ok then you need 3.8g protein per 100 calories. If I were you, I’d opt for a few high protein meals. Maybe a breakfast of oats (6 grams protein for 160 cals), then a snack of pea/pumpkin protein blended with soy milk will get you close to 30g protein for 200 calories. A lunch of edamame spaghetti is 24g protein for 200 calories. You can use the rest of your 750 calories on Oreos if you want.

Do not despair. I just had these for dinner.... And they are AMAZING. I use them in every way I would noodles and they are delicious, chewy and noodley satisfying goodness.

Look into this stuff. Mostly protein and lots of fiber. Yea, the texture and taste isn't spot on to wheat pasta, but I like it and think it's worth giving a shot. There's soybean, edamame and black bean variations.

I tried these edamame noodles. They are ok. The texture is nowhere close to regular pasta. I prefer using spiralizer zucchini but keep these around for when I'm lazy.

Recipe is pretty simple: Make super creamy mac and cheese using Organic Edamame Sphagetti on stovetop, spoon into muffin pan and voila! mac and cheese muffins.

I like banza pasta, or Amazon AND Costco sell this edamame pasta. Bulk up with veggies, you can have a 400 cal dinner that is phenomenal

[Here's] (https://www.amazon.com/Organic-Edamame-Spaghetti-lbs-907g/dp/B00TCUM7X2/ref=pd_lpo_325_bs_img_2?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=PJCD6CJ1BXJFVBBRQ381) what we have. We got them at Costco. They're yummy and filling.

I eat mostly gluten free at home simply because my husband has a gluten intolerance and we don't keep much gluten in the house. You didn't ask for tips about food, so feel free to ignore this. But I've found some bean based pastas that are gf and much lower carb/higher protein and fiber than regular (gf or otherwise) pastas.

Here is one of the brands I like on Amazon. Not a good price; just wanted to provide an example. I buy it at Costco and a local grocery. https://www.amazon.com/Organic-Edamame-Spaghetti-lbs-907g/dp/B00TCUM7X2

If I use it in a dish with plenty of fat and protein (e.g, pasta with pesto and chicken or pasta carbonara with shrimp), my numbers do great. Hope this is of some use to you! Good luck :)
