Thai Fried Rice w/ Chicken Nutrition Facts: Serving Size: 350 g (12.34 oz) Calories: 794 Total Fat: 22.1g Sodium: 1300mg (varies by recipe) Total Carbohydrate: 116.4 Total Protein: 29.1 I invite you to post your thoughts on this recipe. What are the nutritional deficiencies/excesses when consuming this product? What should you be careful of? What are your alternatives? I challenge you this Friday. The challenge: Transport your Thai Fried Rice w/ Chicken meal to the mailing station and weigh it. I bet it is more than 2 pounds (the styrofoam container weighs virtually nothing). Now read the serving size above and the calories per serving. If you consume the entire meal then by my estimation you will have consumed in excess of 2000 calories! Some Americans eat out for lunch every day. Another ingredient in our countries' recipe of obesity.

The Thai Food gods are not allowing me to adjust the test for this post. I apologize for the outlay of this read.
ReplyDeleteThai food good; worrying too much about it bad, especially if it's from The Thai Place in Millbrook. :-)
ReplyDelete15.5 oz. A rare miscalculation that involves weight. Calculating the total meal would be a smidgen over 1000 calories + 300 calories for the spring roll. Remember this is a generalization but I believe the energy content is most likely no more than 1200 for the rice meal alone based on the weight of the meal.
