Thai Food Options?

ElementalMoe

Hey everyone - One of our suppliers is taking me out for Thai food today for lunch. . . I was THINKING of having lettuce wraps, but am wondering if there are any other healthy options I should consider. I've not had much Thai before. Thanks!

I looked on the food database, and some were as high as 1200 calories! That's my entire day in one meal!

Good job, asks for healthy options go right for that... amazing.

I'd recommend the chicken satay, or any of the salads that they offer (depending on the place), and maybe even thai chicken curry - Calories 340 (1421 kJ)

Thai food has a ton of salad options. I love Green papaya salad. Also the tom yum soup is healthy maybee high in sodium tho

The volume it's served in?
noodles, veggies, eggs, and chicken. And a good bit of salt. Much worse things out there for you, but around here, it's served in like 3lb servings

I usually go for the broccoli stirfry (ask for extra broccoli) with chicken, add a cup of rice and it is under 500 cals.

I made it at home once. The recipe called for like 3 cups of sugar. That's why it's so delicious!!! Also, depending on the place, it can be pretty greasy.

BBQ beef is really good, most of the soups are good, pad hed is my favorite dish, it has lots of veggies and mushrooms and chicken, i also really like eggplant and pork but i think the eggplant is fried, there are really a ton of options- it is all soooooo good!

I'd go for some sort of fish or tofu curry. Yummm!

thai food is my favorite so bump...

i always get red chicken curry with brown rice, not sure of calories but its a special every once in a while treat that is eaten in moderation and I dont really care about the calories because its a special treat for myself when i want it.
