At day, do you feel tired after a long day work and don’t wish to lift a finger for cooking.. Want to dine out or call for delivery service and still keep a healthy diet?
Just like to share some tips on ordering:
1) Try to keep the main dish to fish such as Salmon or Tuna as they lower the risk of heart disease.
2) Avoid food that are prepared by: 1) Fried, Braised, buttered, creamed, escalloped, hollandaise, cheesed or cream sauce. Do away with dishes that are in gravy (example curry sauce), pan-fried or cooked in butter sauce.
3) Go for those that are steamed, boiled, broiled, baked, grilled, poached, roasted.
4) A Dessert after a meal is always refreshing. Share your food.
5) For Chinese food: Skip the fried stuff like chicken wings, wantons(dumpling), sweet and sour pork, fried noodles. Choose the steamed or stir-fried dishes like steam grouper, red snapper example, beancurd, vegetables.
6) Malay/Indian food. Say no to creamy curries which is usually cooked with high content of coconut milk. No mutton or beef rending. No deep fried food as well. Those are very rich with high fats and calories. Stick to the vegetarian dishes or beans products for a healthier choice.
7) Italian food, stay away from pasta in creamy and cheesy sauces or pastas stuffed with cheese. No fried calamari, no finger food. Ask for light sauces like primavera, marsala or marinara.
8) For pizza lover, order a thin crust and ask for vegetable toppings with less meat and cheese. Take a slice or two.
Though, above are some tips which you can follow while eating out, it is still healthier if you cook for yourself as you are have more control over the dishes you are cooking, its cooking styles and the amount of seasonings to add etc etc.
