I was glancing through the North Toronto Post this week and found an interesting article on the nutritional value (dubious use of that term) in a variety of take out food. What I found most surprising was that out of
all the foods including burgers, fish and chips, pizza etc. what scored the absolute worst all around in my books was the Pad Thai. One serving contained a whopping 1460 kcal, 55 grams of fat and 197.6 grams of
carbohydrate. According to this analysis you're much better off to eat a Pastrami sandwich! So as everyone starts off the New Year with a plan to lose weight and eat healthier, it might be best to analyze what exactly we are eating, especially if the source is take out food, preparing food yourself at home is infinitely better. Go here to check out the article, http://www.postcity.com/Post-City-Magazines/January-2010/What-039s-Toronto-Really-Eating/.
