The main problem with instant noodles is not the salt or fat, but the same thing as all other junk food - it takes the place of actual food with actual nutrients. The healthiest way I've ever found to consume instant noodles is as a meal supplement after exercise. Not every time, but once in a while to replenish salt lost from sweat and as a calorie boost.
