Takeaways are often loaded with high amounts of sugar, fats and oils, which contain high numbers of calories. Oils are often re-used over and over again and this not only produces a different taste of the food, but it can also be unhealthy.

Other ingredients

Apart from sugar and fat, other preservatives or additives are often added to takeaways to improve the colour, taste and appearance, especially if they are stored for a long period. Rather opt to make food freshly yourself. Not only will you save money, but you will also eat healthy and nutritious foods which are great for your body. It may contain fewer numbers of calories as well.

Takeaways often contain more salt than you would normally consume if you prepared the same meal (in the same portion) at home.
