Following is a research done by foodpanda on calorie counts of famous fast food items that inhibit most of us from eating due to concerns of gaining weight. If eaten in moderation, these fast food items do not impose negative health impacts. Cutting down on order size and a few ingredients in your meal is a smart thing to do if you’re watching out for your weight and planning to keep a healthy body.
1. Chicken is an essential part of our meals. When ordering chicken items opt for grilled and avoid fried. Grilled chicken cooks in its own seeping fat. Frying the chicken takes up on extra calorie counts. If you wish to go for fried chicken, skip French fries and dips.
To eat: Grilled chicken burgers, Grilled chicken with vegetables on sidelines. Two fried KFC chicken pieces with salad. Avoid carbonated drinks, choose mineral water. Instead of French fries, pick potato wedges as they are baked.
Calorie count: 1 KFC Chicken thigh piece contains 290 calories in full with 21g of fat.
2. Veggie burgers are a good substitute for beef burgers. But if you wish to go for beef burgers, drop either cheese or mayo. In general, without the two your veggie burger will carry 7gms of fat and with them, 20gms. Similarly, calorie count will increase too if you add both of them.
To eat: Veggie bun kebabs, variants of chicken wraps.
Calorie count: 1 potato patty contains 135 calories with 8.3g of fat. Chicken Tikka wrap contains 230 calories in total. Veggie wrap contains 186 calories.
3. Be careful about your choice of ingredients in sandwiches. Avoid sweet sauces and extra toppings of ketchup and cheese. Ketchup and other dips like BBQ or Sour Creamare boosted with artificial sugar variants. Again, go with grilled chicken and avoid grilled beef. If you’re tempted to try grilled beef, skip mayonnaise and cheese. Substitute diet cokes with water. Diet cokes contain sugar but in lesser amount.
To eat: Fajita sandwich without extra sauces, Tuna Salad.
Calorie count: One 6” Chicken Fajita sandwich contains 447 calories with 20g of fat. 1 serving of Tuna salad contains 310 calories.
4. Next time someone tells you pizza is healthy, take their word for it! Always have thin crust pizzas.
To eat: Veggie feast pizza, tandoori chicken pizza.
Calorie count: 1 slice of 12” medium hand-tossed Veggie feast contains 240 calories.
