In this day and age, it can be incredibly easy to order takeout food. Whether you’re someone who picks it up yourself or enjoys a good old fashioned delivery, the convenience is a real appeal to so many people who are exhausted after a long day. But no matter how strong the appeal is, we’re here to urge you to monitor your intake of takeout food. But how much of it is too much?

Ultimately, the amount of takeout food that you order really depends on your personal situation. Allow us to cover a few of these different bases.

Money

The first thing that should be addressed is how well off you are financially. This may seem like an uncomfortable subject, but you need to ask yourself these questions in order to make good choices. If you have plenty of financial freedom where having a savings account isn’t really necessary, then you’re probably okay to order out plenty. But if you live more in the real world, you should probably limit it to once a week.

Healthy Or Not?

Another thing to ask yourself is how healthy the takeout food is. More often than not, takeout food isn’t super healthy, but if you’re someone who orders exclusively from healthy spots, you can be a bit more lenient. Otherwise, again, you should probably limit your takeout orders to once or twice a week.

Healthy eaters, this one’s for you: As much as we all like to be in full control of the ingredients going into our food, sometimes, life’s just too busy to cook; and that’s OK. Enter takeout! But… how do we continue to keep up with our health goals while eating it? Here are four ways to stay healthy while savoring the joy of takeout.

Analyze the Menu

Before you hit ‘order,’ decode the menu like it’s a full-on mystery and you’re Sherlock Holmes. Look for allies: grilled, steamed, or baked options. Choose dishes that are heavy on vegetables and lean proteins and stay away from deep-fried temptations if you’re trying to stay on the healthy side.

Wise Side-Dish Choices

Level up your side-dish game. Opting for nutrient-packed sides like salads, steamed vegetables, or quinoa is recommended. They not only help boost your health but also balance out your meals.

Build Your Own Sauce

Sauces can be extremely sneaky sugar bombs. If you want to keep things healthy, going for DIY and asking for sauces on the side should be your MO. This way, you can both better control flavors and avoid any hidden sugars.

Portion Control Magic

Takeout portions can be humongous. Like, feeding-2-adults-and-still-having-some-left kind of humongous. Practice portion control by sharing with others or saving half for later.
