- Stay away from Coconut Milk laden dishes. One cup of Coconut Milk alone has over 400 calories and 50 grams of fat, 45 of them are saturated!!!
- Stay away from fried rice -try to get brown if you can
- Pad Thai -I'm sure you love it, but one dish can have over 1100 calories and over 40 grams of fat, you need alot of activity points to get over that one!
- Watch out for portion distortion, after ordering your food, immediately ask the waiter to put half of it in a doggie bag for you.
- Whatever you order, ask if you can have the sauce on the side, this way you can control how much of the sauce you want.
- Fill up on the CLEAR BROTH soups before your meal
- Go for anything that is roasted, steamed or grilled
- Thai salads are usually a great choice, filling and loaded with flavor -seriously when they ask you how spicy you would like your salad, it's gotta be loaded with flavor!
- If you are going to get an appetizer, aim for the spring rolls, these are loaded with fresh ingredients and not high in calories.
I hope some of these tips have been helpful!
Kan, do you think you can figure out a way to do guiltless pad thai? :)
ReplyDeleteHey Alka,
ReplyDeleteSomeone else asked me this as well. I'm working on a recipe, and should have it posted by next week. I just want to make sure it's palatable :-)
One suggestion that I have, when you order Pad Thai, immediately asked for half of it to be packed away. You'll save yourself over 600 calories and you'll know you will not over eat!
