The Impossible Shirataki!
I discovered a noodle that has 20 calories per serving, 1g protein, 3g carbs and 1g fiber. It is also available 24 hours a day at Safeway for $1.79.
It is made of some magic Japanese yam and tofu. Quite rubbery, but not in a bad way.
Looking at the nutrition info, I still can't get my mind around it. How could it be? It's not synthetic, like olestra or whatever cheating they're always trying to do to allow people to put greasy food in their mouths and swallow it but not actually eat. It is somehow just not that nutritionally available. Sometimes eating foods that are not nutritions will upset your system, (I think you know what I mean,) but unless you have some kind of tofu or yam allergy, these do not.
It seems to be actual food.
