QUOTE(ah_suknat @ Oct 18 2016, 10:59 AM) It's not... Its a type of very low calorie food that taste and looks like rice/noodles etc (i think) Oh! Hard to read coz the page is not in English. You're right, if I'm deciphering it correctly it's some kind of carb based on some plant from Japan. Well it still depends on whether you'd be full. And they need to add on other normal (wight friendly) dishes, right? Check out the fibre and water content of one serving of the main product (excluding the other dishes), as those are the key indicators of satiety.

So endorsements aren't really a good indicator of anything  However, <50kcal for a fried rice texture dish as per Jordan's FB post, is pretty darn good for that serving size, assuming it does taste decent.

QUOTE(Everdying @ Oct 18 2016, 07:44 PM) this is like where most food companies are going. eg. like before some certain milk / yogurt was so big and had more calories. now ppl all too mindful, so the manufacturers shrunk the packaging and then say ' less than 100 calories!' its the same with that rice, see how small the portion sure la 50cals. also almost all rice is gluten free. all just marketing purposes only...like calling water 'miracle drink! mix with anything! 0 calories! gluten free!' Based on Jordan's photo it looks like it's definitely >50 kcal.

QUOTE(slimey @ Oct 19 2016, 05:08 PM) well......... it depends on your goals......and your wallet, and the availability of the product....... If it tastes alright, and is at least about 60% mimicking rice texture, And cost is not more than 30% more exp than rice, Makes sense, for those trying to limit calories.
