Health-wise, where does Nasi Lemak stand? 

The healthy side

Good news. Nasi Lemak offers a balance of macronutrients from proteins to carbohydrates and fibre. This includes eggs, anchovies, rice and fats from peanuts. 

The not-so-healthy side. 

Bad news. You probably shouldn’t be consuming Nasi Lemak everyday. While delicious, it’s best served as a delicious treat you have from time to time due to its saturated fat and salt content. This could cause some health risks in the long run like increased risk for heart disease and hypertension.  

How do I burn off calories from Nasi Lemak?

If you’re exceeded your calorie budget for the day, it’s not the end of the world. Burning off calories just means incorporating a little exercise to bring you back on track. Here are some suggestions that could work well:

Jogging for about 45 minutes.

Cycling at a moderate pace for 60 minutes.

Swimming laps for 40 minutes.

How often can I eat Nasi Lemak without gaining weight? 

It depends! Depending on your body type, alongside your general eating habits, diet, and lifestyle, your frequency could differ. The key is to ensure there’s sufficient balance in your life and to consume foods in moderation and tandem with physical activity. 

A good rule of thumb is to incorporate Nasi Lemak into your diet occasionally – perhaps once a week. With that said, keep the number of calories of your other meals in mind and ensure you’re not busting your calorie budget with a good level of exercise. 

Based on your unique body type, perhaps your daily calorie budget is set at 2,000 calories. You consume a plate of Nasi Lemak at 494 calories, leaving you with 1,506 calories for the rest of the day. To maintain a healthy lifestyle, ensure your other meals are lighter, yet nutritious, to keep you in the best shape possible. Exercise and plenty of water definitely helps. 

Is losing weight possible while still eating Nasi Lemak? 

Weight loss is definitely possible, and that does not mean you have to break up with Nasi Lemak permanently. With balance and moderation, Nasi Lemak is more than welcome in your diet when paired with lower calorie options in your lifestyle. 

We love Nasi Lemak too. To keep it a frequent part of your meals, you could opt to reduce the portion size, or creatively modifying its recipe to lower its calorie content. Perhaps you could reduce the amount of oil or coconut milk used. This keeps the dish equally enjoyable, and guilt-free for frequent consumption. 

Always remember to eat mindfully, balance your nutritional needs, and incorporate regular exercise into your life. With these simple rules, you’ll be well on your way to a healthier weight and lifestyle too!

How balanced is your diet? Check your BMI.

Your BMI is a good general indicator of your overall health. Where do you stand? Take a quick check. 

Losing weight doesn’t have to be all salads. 

It’s quite a common struggle to strike that balance between your favourite foods and maintaining a healthy weight. It’s not always about eating extremely low calorie food, intense exercise, and depriving yourself of more delicious delights. There is a simpler way. 

If your BMI stands above 30, our Slender Pen is here to help. These pens make it easier to regulate your appetite, allowing you to eat more intentionally. 

We believe that giving up your favourite foods entirely isn’t a way to live. Start your journey towards a healthier, better you today!
