What take-away foods are healthy?
Takeaway foods can be part of a healthy eating plan provided they are not eaten everyday, you choose small portions and where possible you choose lower fat and lower salt options. Healthier takeaway choices could be plain hamburgers with lots of salad (leave out the bacon, fried onion and fried egg), gourmet style pizzas with vegetable, lean meat or seafood toppings, jacket potatoes with vegetable or legume toppings (e.g. creamed corn, baked beans and salad), sandwiches or toasted sandwiches with lean meats and lots of vegetables or salad, grilled fish and salad, pasta with tomato-based sauces, BBQ chicken with skin removed, sushi and Vietnamese rolls. If reduced fat versions of items are available, these are generally healthier choices. Grilled is also a healthier choice than fried food.
