I came across a 4 pack of microwavable Simply Asia meals at Odd Lots for $5.
They come in at 820 calories, 6g fat, 156g carbs, and 30g protein. The contents minus packages and the wierd fork included come to 11.8oz. Most of the weight is in the packaged noodels. It cooked fast on the stove and the directions only call for 2 Tbsp of water.
The lipton side I have comes to 625 calories, 3g fat, 100 carbs, and 16g protein. It weighs in at 6.5 oz with packaging. It calls for 2 cups water that must be brought to a boil.
2 liptons beat it in terms of calories and carbs and only add 1.2 oz. The the aisa meal tastes better and I can eat one of them versus 2 liptons. You could add olive oil to the aisa meal to beat 2 liptons of the same weight. If you take into account cooking time, savings in fuel, and less water used these could have their place. That and a little more selection.
