Cooler weather means more time indoors, so if you are ordering in for a night on the couch here’s some healthy takeaway options to avoid traditionally high fat, high salt and high calorie options.
Chinese
The key to going healthy with Chinese is to avoid the fried dishes, so no sweet and sour pork, fried rice, fried chicken wontons or spring rolls! Good choices include dishes with lots of vegetables and some protein for example chicken chop suey, beef and vegetables, or chow mein.
Indian
The delicious, creamy curries that Indian cuisine has to offer are unfortunately very high in fat, and in particular saturated fat, so these are eat rarely option! Good choices include tandoori chicken, lentil dahl and curries without a creamy base. If you can’t tell from the menu, check with the restaurant.
Japanese
The good thing about Japanese is most of the dishes available are healthy as well as delicious! Sushi and Sashaimi are excellent low fat choices, but watch the sushi with crumbed, fried fillings that are available at some shops. Avoid tempura as this is deep-fried.
Middle Eastern
Middle eastern can be a good option for healthy takeaways. Sovolakis, Iskandas and kebabs provide a good amount of salad, protein and carbohydrate. Choose lean meat fillings, such as skinless chicken or lean lamb and ask for lots of salad. When it comes to choosing sauces, stay away fro creamy mayo sans stick with yoghurt dressings, BBQ, tomato or chilli sauces.
Pizza
Most pizza’s aren’t the healthiest but you can reduce the fat content by asking for minimum cheese and choosing either vegetarian or chicken options. Stay away from extras like stuffed cheese crusts and avoid the extra fries and garlic bread. Choosing the thinner base options will also reduce calories so you can enjoy your pizza without getting an overload of fat and calories!
