Every 100 kcal of ramen noodles brings 2.3 g of protein. On that measure it ranks 85th of the 111 grains in this database and 671st of all 796 foods on the site. Measured by weight instead, its 10.2 g per 100 g ranks 39th in its group.
Only about 9% of the calories in ramen noodles come from protein, so it is more of an energy food than a protein food. It is worth eating for other reasons; the protein it adds to a day is incidental.
By weight, fat outweighs protein in ramen noodles: 17.6 g of fat per 100 g against 10.2 g of protein, a ratio of 0.6 to 1.
Set against wheat bran, another grain entry in the database, a serving carries about 0.7 g less protein (wheat bran has 9 g per 1 cup).
It is an incomplete protein on its own; pairing it with other plant foods across the day covers the full range of essential amino acids. The serving quoted here is counted by piece at 81 g, and it covers about 17% of the 50 g FDA Daily Value for protein.
Weight is the noodle block without the seasoning packet.
