My friend got me a box of edamame pasta and I was wondering what you guys think? It seems to be high in carbohydrates but also high in protein. Would it be okay as a treat every now and again?

Ingredients: Edamame, water

Serving size 2 oz

Calories 200

Fat 2

Carb 21

Fiber 11

Protein 24

Seems like a lot of calories too, but I don't know. 

Thanks hive mind!

It actually has 10 grams of net carbs when you subtract the fiber. it seems very high in calories in my opinion .

When I would substitute something like this for the real thing. I did find myself going back to old habits. Not that everyone will. I just know somethings are triggers for me.

I am allergic to soy, so can't try this.  I have tried the chick pea pasta and didn't care for the texture

Plus 2oz ofpasta is really a lot of food.

I've seen some posts about it... mostly negative (re smells and texture).  I've never been tempted to try it myself.  I use spaghetti squash and zucchini noodles as pasta substitutes.

Good Morning! I must be the odd one out as I actually liked it! I didn't reach anywhere near the 2 oz. serving but topped it with Alfredo sauce and grilled chicken. Even my 11 year old likes it, but she loves edamame anyways.

I have a similar product made with organic mung beans - someone posted it on OH and I got some. 

My general rule is gms of prot Times 10 should be more than the total calories (the computational rule for ~half of calories coming from protein).  SO, this qualifies.

BUT BUT -- they are quoting for 2 oz portion - 1 ounce is enough - with some shrimp and grated parm.  So it would be 5 net carbs per serving which is more reasonable for a WLSer.  (The 2 oz portion on the label is more for a 'normal' person.)

Mine does taste a bit unusual so I still have 3/4 of the package left - a few strands (mine is shaped like linguine)  is enough.
