Maintaining a healthy weight can be a daunting task, especially in food haven Singapore. Whether you’re trying to lose the kilos, or maintain your current weight, it always helps to know about the food you’re putting into your body.
Balance Your Food Choices
You do not have to give up your favourite food just because it is high in calories. Reducing your portion size or making up for excess calories by eating a lower-calorie meal later are quick tips to help you manage your diet.For more information on the caloric content of commonly-eaten food, visit www.hpb.gov.sg. Download the diet tracker and have this information at your finger tips!
Eat Whole-grains!
Be it bread, rice or noodles, natural is best. The less processed your food is and the more whole-grains it contains, the longer and faster you will stay full.
When prepared well with less fat or sugar, whole-grains, fruits and vegetables offer you lower-calorie meal choices at any time of the day. Rich in antioxidants, they give you more goodness in a bite than a higher-calorie meal.
Love whole-grains? Don't fret about it being limited to bread and rice. Do you know that whole-grains now come in kway teow, noodles, man tou and biscuits? Look out for this symbol the next time you shop at the supermarket. Who says being healthy can't be fun and easy?
