WONG WING HONEY GARLIC PORK VERSUS CHICKEN CHOW MEIN

One of these dishes packs a sugary punch and piles on more calories

> HERE’S WHY

Chinese food is a favourite, whether it’s takeout or a quick and easy store-bought meal. While you know that these meals are far from being nutritionally balanced, one can still be a better choice. The sweet taste of honey garlic comes from sugar and honey, which gives about nine teaspoons of sugar per serving. Additionally, the honey garlic pork has one-third more calories and six times the fat. The chicken chow mein saves you on calories, fat, sodium and has very little sugar, but with less protein, it may not keep you as full. Neither are nutritious, so keep this to an occasional quick fix for your Chinese food cravings.
