Avoid Eating Fatty Foods When Ordering Your Takeaway

Obviously if you will choose something that is greasy and covered in batter, it’s not going to be as good as say a vegetable curry. It’s all about knowing what’s the best and what’s the worst, while still enjoying your treat.

Here are some tips for the best and worst items on the menu for a range of different takeaways:

Fish and Chips: The worst items are chips, although you can really avoid having them, sausages, and pies. As for the best things, try to stick to fish, cod, haddock and plaice are the best as they contain the less fat.

Pizza: Your worst choice would be to have a deep pan or stuffed crust as these contain the most fat within the base. As for the toppings of the pizza, try and stay away from having extra cheesy toppings or things like pepperoni. If you are looking for something healthier, your best bet would be a thin crust with either vegetable or fish toppings.

Chinese: Avoiding things that are crispy is your best bet as these are generally deep fat fried. The items that are worst for you are the sweet and sour battered meat balls, fried rice and finally spring rolls. As for the most healthiest items, try and stick to steamed food. Opting for things like crab and corn soup, beef, chicken, steamed veg and boiled rice are all healthier options.

Indian food, just like Chinese, you should try and keep away from deep fried things and items that are creamy as these will have the most fat. Vegetable curry, chicken tikka, madras or bhuna are your best items to choose for a healthier meal. The best thing to have with them would be boiled rice.

Hopefully when you order your next takeaway, you will change from your usual large chips and jumbo sausage to something a little healthier. As I wrote that, I was certainly shocked because I order all of the bad stuff, but I guess that’s the way it is. The stuff that tastes the best, tends to be the worst for us.

A good takeaway can be ordered online quite easily and could for example be found using a search under ‘takeaway Birmingham‘ or ‘Chinese Takeaway Manchester‘ if that was your preference.
