Dietitian's Tips
     
  1. Very often you would have used a lot of oil unawaringly during " stir fry " of
    each individual item of the dish. So watch out for this , and use a non-stick pan to fry.
  2. Nuts contains a lot of fat , but also high in protein and vitamin . When you take nuts, do not over eat. Try not to fry , but roast it in the oven.
