EATING OUT: Fish 'n Chip

With summer comes fish 'n chips by the beach. They're quick, easy and a tasty summer tradition. But your average fish 'n chips can contain almost half your daily kilojoule intake. So, instead of buying fried fish, it's a good idea to ask for your fish grilled - you'll half the kilojoules. As for the chips, just have one helping and only take what can fit in one hand - that's about 12 or 15 chips in total. This amount of chips is a serve, so only order a minimum of chips and discard what you don't eat. If you want something else beside the fish and chips, order any of your season grilled. Grilled prawns, scallops and calamari rings are also better than the fired versions, as you'll save on kilojoules, total fat and saturated fat. Finally, order a salad with your fish 'n chips.
