With 14gr. of fat, on average, in a ramen package, this is approximately 22% of the fat required on a normal 2000 calories diet. So here again, there is no major problem and it's pretty close to pasta like spaghetti.
Now what are carbs and why is it important to talk about them. Carbs are Carbohydrates, you probably heard this word when people talk about the diet bodybuilders should have. Carbs gives energy to the body and are usualy found in bread, pasta, potatoes, beans cereals and rice. The World Heart Organization recommand that fat found in food should come from 55% to 75% from carbs. So we can say that ramen noodles are pretty good for carbs.
