Because I ordered something tonight that was supposed to be stuffed with ground pork, water chestnut, and bamboo, and guess what was also in there, yep, the bean thread noodles. I was too hungry to send it back...not that I probably would have anyway. But I've been so good, it sucks to have cheated even a little bit without the intention. If I were going to cheat, well, it would have been something else, like dessert

I read some posts a while back about some japanese noodles called konyaku noodles. They are made form a type of yam (not sweet!) and they are very low carb.
I found some at a japanese grocery store and they're very yummy.
The noodles in restaurants are usually made of wheat or rice. They should know in the kitchen. Those two types of noodles are high carb.
I'm nor sure about 'bean' noodles though.
They won't harm you in the long run, but try the konyaku noodles if you want to make stuff at home.
Oh, by the way. They are very inexpensive...

this says a cup has 120 carbs

Thanks for the info, and the link...Well, I definitely didn't have a whole cup's worth, so maybe the damage wasn't too bad.

And those konyaku noodles sound yummy!
