Anywhere from about 400 to 1,000 kcal. The noodles are one half of a bowl; a rich broth can be the other, so how much you drink matters. Here are four real bowls, each typed into Kallo the way people describe them.

What moves the number
In the tonkotsu bowl, the pork bone broth is 374 kcal, almost as much as the noodles. Leaving most of it is the biggest single cut you can make.
