00:00Craving Thai tonight? Before you order, here's what a nutritionist says you should and shouldn't
00:05pick from the menu. Thai food might look healthy, but not every dish is created equal. Some options
00:11are packed with nutrients, others loaded with fat, salt, and sugar. Let's start with the best.
00:17Some tam, that zesty green papaya salad, is low in calories, full of vitamin C and fiber.
00:23Tom Yum Soup delivers bold flavor with barely 50 calories per bowl.
00:27Stir-fried veggies? Yes, please. Especially when light on oil and heavy on herbs.
00:32Grilled chicken is a lean protein bomb. Just go easy on the satay sauce.
00:37And steamed fish? It's a powerhouse of nutrients like magnesium, B12, and selenium.
00:42But now the danger zone. Pad Thai might be delicious, but one plate can pack 800 calories and 45g of fat.
00:49Massaman curry? Creamy, comforting, and high in fat, sugar, and carbs.
00:54Thai fried rice is often drenched in oil and comes with a sugary kick.
00:58And that dreamy mango sticky rice dessert? It's got 42g of sugar, more than a can of Coke.
01:04Bottom line? Thai food can be a super healthy choice, if you know what to order.
01:08So next time, skip the deep fried noodles and go for fresh, grilled, and vibrant instead.
01:13So next time, take a boil down.
