Occasional food
Do you call it a treat food? We call it an occasional food!
Wha' dat?
There's a good reason why they're called 'occasional' foods - you
should only eat them occasionally, not everyday!
These foods have higher amounts of sugar, fat or energy
(kilojoules/calories).
They often have lower amounts of vitamins and minerals so don't actually help your body to function well.
Eating them everyday can make you feel tired, gain weight and
can sometimes rot your teeth. Gross.
Takeaways:
Some of the lower fat takeaways include:
- Rice and noodle-based takeaways
- Burgers and Kebabs
- Crumbed or grilled fish instead of battered fish
- Thick, chunky chips instead of thin chips
- How about a piece of fruit to finish - great to carry in your bag
too.
