How to make takeaway healthy

YOUR HEALTHY OPTION

Go for a grainy bread roll and give the stuffing a miss as it’s soaked in fat.
Tip: Like garlic bread? Make your own healthy version by smearing reduced-fat spread and garlic on the roll.

Remove the chicken skin as it’s high in salt and fat. A healthy serve of meat is roughly the size of your palm (80-120g).
Tip: Add herbs, such as mint and parsley, to your salad if you feel you’re missing out on flavour without the skin.

Make a salad at home to turn your takeaway into a balanced, nutritious meal. Takeaway salads, such as coleslaw, tend to be high in fat and salt.
