We're trying to eat healthier, so I bought whole grain noddles, instead of regular. But I'm looking atthe sides and this is what I see

Regular:
Calories - 210
Fat - 1 g
Sodium - 0 mg
Total Carb - 41 g
Fiber - 2 g
Sugars - 2 g
Protein - 7 g

Whole Grain:
Calories - 190
Fat - 2 g
Sodium - 15 mg
Total Carb - 40 g
Fiber - 5 g
Sugars - 4 g
Protein - 8 g

How is the whole grain any better for me than the regular??

I think whole grain bread shines when it comes to vitamins and nutrients. Have you compared those two?

I don't care about vitamins! lol
I care about fat and carbs (sugars).

Well less isn't necessarily better. The fats and carbs in whole grain bread as opposed to regular might be of a type that's better for you. The key to proper nutrition in health isn't so much less calorie intake as it is proper calorie intake.

I tend to avoid breads altogether though, except on my diet break days, so I can't really say for sure anything specific about them.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia



Whole grains are cereal grains that retain the bran and germ as well as the endosperm, in contrast to refined grains, which retain only the endosperm. Whole-meal products are made from whole-grain flour.

Common whole-grain products include oatmeal, popcorn, brown rice, whole-wheat flour, sprouted grains, and whole-wheat bread. Common refined-grain products include white rice (raw rice; parboiled rice however retains some of the "wholeness"), white bread, hominy, and pasta (although whole-grain varieties of pasta are available).

the more refined the grain is the easier it is to digest the carbohydrates, therefore whole grain provides a consistent long lasting energy, while refined provides only a short spike of energy.

Not just vitamins...most of the important minerals like magnesium are found in whole grians as well.

Most people are magnesium deficient.
