Thai Food....

One of my favorite meals!  This Southeast Asian cuisine enjoys a healthier rep than its cousin Chinese Food, perhaps because of its abundance of seafood, fresh veggies and herbs like lemongrass and cilantro. Thai dishes can also be deceiving!  They are often drenched in oil, high in sodium and double the recommended serving size.  To avoid these dietary pitfalls and still indulge in this tasty fair, you can make some easy swaps!  

Go for Tom Yum Soup and pass on the Thai Coconut Soup!  Turns out the star ingredient - the coconut milk is nearly as heavy as whipping cream A bowl can equal add up to 500 calories and 48 grams of fat.  The Tom Yum Soup with a medley of chicken or seafood, mushrooms, peppers and fresh herbs, this spicy soup manages to be satisfying and only 150 calories and 5 grams of fat!
