Good nutrition doesn’t mean you have to cut out all your favourite snacks and foods. Even if you are on holiday you need to watch what you are eating. You can have the snacks, but have them now and then as a treat. You’ll find you’ll enjoy them a lot more like this.
If you’re missing them too much, go for alternatives:
• Handful of dried fruit and nuts
• Fresh fruit salad
• Pot of rice pudding
• Bowl of wholegrain cereal with semi-skimmed milk
• Cereal bar
• Houmous with raw vegetable sticks and pretzels
• Scoop of frozen yoghurt
If you’re treating yourself to a takeaway, try and go for a healthier alternative:
Indian
Avoid korma and massala, pilau rice, naan bread
Go for tandoori chicken, plain rice, chapatti
Burgers
Avoid cheese, mayonnaise, chips
Go for grilled burgers made from lean meat or fish or veggie burgers. Ask for extra salad.
Chinese
Avoid battered or deep-fried options and egg-fried rice
Go for chicken chop suey, szechuan prawns, steamed fish
Pizza
Don’t ask for extra cheese!
Go for toppings like vegetables, chicken, fish and prawns
Chicken and Meat
Avoid fried options and always go for grilled. You could try delicious Nandos grilled chicken, little hotties, as a healthy and tasty option.
