Well, for starters, being a vegetarian (or any other specialized diet) requires that you pay attention to the QUALITY of the food you eat. Regularly eating ramen noodles is just plain horrible for your body. All that fat, sodium, no vitamins, no fiber. Uggh. Bad nutrition!
Powdered chicken is used in chicken flavored ramen. Likewise, powdered beef extracts (not even real beef, but EXTRACTS of beef) are used in beef ramen and so forth.
However, really cheap ramen noodles are usually cooked in animal fat (those noodles are fried, y'know) or they have animal products cooked into them.
You need to learn to read a label and recognize obscure animal-based ingredients. Gelatin is made from cows. Cochneal red dye is made from insects. Glycerine is made from many kinds of animals. And so forth.
How strict a vegetarian do you want to be?

It is one of the ingredients but I wouldn't worry about the powdered cooked chicken. Did you ever read and see how much salt is in those Ramen Noodles.

See this site, last fat loss tip, to see why ramen noodles (refined wheat) is worst thing you can eat. Do you want to be a sick vegetarian. I have been vegetarian for 30 years. You should shop in health food store instead of normal sick stores. They have whole wheat ramen (without chicken) like gov. pyramid recommends. Then click on vegetaian concerns to make sure you are not missing vital nutrients.

Ive never heard of this. but do get research at ramen noodle's websites. if the ingredients on the box/bag mention chicken flavoring, chances are there is some chicken fat involved.

You say you lack vigor... hmmm Considering the query raised as soon as by means of a vegetarian bodybuilder, "What's more potent than a Rhino or Elephant, and quicker than a race horse?" I surely must finish that you're in-reality consuming junk meals. I might advocate that you simply do an Internet seek at the "Vegetarian Food Pyramid" and take a look at to comply with that as exceptional you'll. Eat your grains, devour your vegetables & end result, and so forth... go away the sugary and salty and greasy snacks for simply that, occaisional snacks and now not your most important dishes. I grew to be a vegetarian in 1994; I didn't get in poor health... (handiest in poor health of ingnorant men and women who suppose one ought to or will have to devour meat {flesh}). It might be whatever to get used to, and sure your frame will pass by way of withdrawl signs. We are primates and although people were consuming meat for two.five million years and a few larger apes partake of an occaisional fleshy meal, our digestive procedures aren't advanced/designed for intake of meat. It is sort of a "drug" on this experience -- carbohydrates furnish the vigor the frame demands (now not protein like the beef construction organizations might have us all consider); it additionally makes one lazy and extra competitive.
