Egg noodles

Are they good or bad?

I'm not sure @Paul dbtsBrown. All I can say is that for me, not good, but not as bad as pasta or rice!

Welcome to the forum @Paul dbtsBrown

One of the tricky things about food and diabetes is that different people react differently to exactly the same foods - so it can be impossible to say whether any one specific source of carbohydrate is a ‘safe‘ choice, but as a general rule of thumb, the higher the amount of cabohydrate in a food portion, the more disruptive it is likely to be to your blood glucose levels.

In order to maintain maximum flexibility, many members here use a BG meter to check before and 2hrs after a meal, to see what the BG rise is, and reduce carb portions or swap carb sources for meals where BG rises more than about 2-3 from the meal.

If you need to self fund your BG meter, the most affordable meters members here have found are the SD Gluco Navii or the Spirit Tee2 which both have test strips at around £8 for 50 🙂

If you want 'noodles' you can add a little water to beaten egg, to thin it out, then cook pancakes and stack them up, roll them into a tube and slice them into noodles. No carbs at all.

I always think of pancakes as being made of a batter with flour as part of it. Do you mean just the egg and water like a thin flat omelette?

Oh - sorry I meant the cooking method is using a frying pan with a curved profile, with a thin layer of fat - ladle in the egg in a swirl and shake to thin out and fill in the gaps, flip at half way, shuffle out onto chopping board until you have enough to rollup and make the noodles.

Or just buy konjac noodles and know that they’re pretty much zero carb.

Hey i am good at preparing egg noodles.

I find the black bean noodles at my local supermarket are lower in carbs than their eggs noodle style.
But no real food is completely bad - even refined sugars and starches can stave off starvation for a while, just don't eat them unless you are literally starving!
