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 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 :)
My local Costco just started stocking these: http://www.amazon.com/Organic-Edamame-Spaghetti-lbs-907g/dp/B00TCUM7X2
Picked up a box and my wife made a tomato-based meat sauce to put over them. It was absolutely fantastic. Highly recommended.
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.
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.
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
Not a vegetarian but I wanted to get my spaghetti fix without all the carbs. I find this stuff great. Also good for pesto without needing an extra protein source.
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. http://www.explore-asian.com/products/edamame-spaghetti.html Or this: http://www.amazon.com/Organic-Edamame-Spaghetti-lbs-907g/dp/B00TCUM7X2
