We are all busy and sometimes getting a takeaway meal can make life easier. You might think getting takeaway is unhealthy. If you are having hamburgers, fries, cakes, or other high-energy and high-fat foods, then yes, that is not ideal. Many food establishments now offer healthier options, so seek out what is available in your area.
Plan ahead – choose somewhere with healthier choices available and think about what you will order.
Don’t forget to make water your drink of choice.
TIP: All larger fast food and snack chains must show the energy content of their products at the point of sale. Look for lower energy options.
