As part Bupa's best blog competition for 2015
Students here is the latest list of food swaps to help you to stay healthy and not put on any weight.
Meat filled Bhanh mi for tofu one.
Meat is fatty most of the time where as tofu is not. And Tofu has a lot of calcium and protein in there.
Singapore fried noodles for Pad Thai
It is cooked in less oil and has less calories. Pad Thai has about 207 calories and Singapore noodles has 340 calories per serve according to MyFitness pal.
A spring roll for a rice paper roll
A spring roll is deep fried in lots of oil and most of the ones you get outside has lots of fat in it. A rice paper roll however is not and they tend to be lower in calroies.
Tempura donburi for chirashi sushi
Chirashi sushi has cold fish and vinegared rice and it has lots of flavour to it. There is no oil in this only just fresh ingredients. And in some chirashi sushi there is avocado which is good for you.
Tempura is full of deep fried far as the ingredients have a thick batter and it deep fried in lots of oil some of which is not good for you
Pan Fried dumplings for steamed ones
Pan Fried ones have a lot of oil in these and steamed don't. Steamed also has about 77 cal per piece. Even better swap it for vegetarian or chilli dumplings.
Deep fried soft shell crab sushi for a seaweed one.
A seaweed one is full of flavour and nutrients and has a lot less oil to it where as the deep fried although has a lot of nutrients has more calories to it from the oil and batter. If you were to have deep fried soft shell crab best to do it in a salad.
I hope that these food swaps help. Do you have any more ideas for healthy food swaps? If so please mention it below.
