Healthy take aways?

[King Tubby]

I have to do most of my eating when I'm out at work, any ideas for healthier options? Marks & Spencer do some stuff, but not sure if it's that healthy, just know it's not cheap, but not too worried about that considering the amount I spend on junk.

Something that I do when on the move is get down to Morrisons and check out the salad bar.

In the salad bar there's a fantastic choice of salads and pastas. Appears to be quality ingredients used too.

I normally get a large tub (which would do two people), leave a little space at the top, buy some chicken/tuna or ham and add to the tub. Sorts me out with a bit of protein.

These are the best 'healthiest' takeaway there is but it is a Spanish company. Still, you can make them yourself. A french baguette and make your own fillings with lots of salad veg and various ingredients - cheap to make and tasty.

We have a similar thing over here in Superquinn. They prepare the salads and cold pasta in the shop at the start of everyday and it's the business. I waste most of my lunch time actually going to get it but it's well worth it.

vegitarian subways

The amount of salt in the dough/bread subways use is terrible. Granted, it's better than McDonalds or BK, but it's certainly not healthy.

King Tubby - best bet is something like a chicken shish kebab... grilled chicken breast, loads of salad.

Shish kebab

[King Tubby]

Keep 'em coming. Chicken shish is a good one, always feels like a bit of a 'cheat'.
Is Biltong good for you when training/trying to lose weight?

[Poncey]

Yes, but shit loads of salt.

[King Tubby]

So Poncey, if I'm trying to lose weight and I'm out cycling most days, would I be better off in a t-shirt having a little sweat up, or wearing a windcheater and getting the sweat pouring out of me?

[Poncey]

Unless you're training for a sport with weight divisions, never use the method of sweating to cut weight. All you're doing is robbing your body of essential salts, potassium and ions (electrolytes).

For instance, when I cut weight from 84kg to 75kg as a dry run for competing, I suffered from excruciating cramps. Especially if my shins and calfs when locking in triangles during a heavy rolling session.

Focus on losing the fat, so a tee should be fine.

Naughty Tubby!

Very, very naughty!

I've learnt that having salad with your donar kebab is not considered "healthy eating".

[King Tubby]

Cheers Poncey, I might nominate you as my fitness Guru.

Have it with your shish kebab and it is.

fornicate.

Was doing so well, the the bitch of a wife bought kebabs on her way back from work.

Needless to say it was a massive one with lots of sauce.

It went down a treat and now I feel like DG - like a twat.

I'll be out running tomorrow to try to keep the damage in check.

Sushi and miso soup or Vietnamese rice paper rolls are always a good, quick fix, for something a little more substantial, a wok tossed Thai stir fry or a Thai salad like crying tiger is gold. The Asians really know how to do a healthy take-away.

Sainsburys also have one as well. If you go to Costa/Cafe Nero you might be able to pick up a fruit salad or a healthy wrap to go with a nice herbal tea especially decaf which can help reduce heart disease may reduce blood pressure http://jn.nutrition.org/content/138/8/1554S.full

Crying Tiger and Nam Sod/Larb Gai are my favorite Thai dishes. So much flavor and all protein.

Pre-cooked chicken breast + prepared salad from supermarket is a quick readily available option.

When I'm away with work I always have plenty of protein shake mix and / or bars at hand to supplement my food in case I struggle to get my protein intake.
