[Regnum] Homemade fast food can be a healthier alternative to your usual on-the-go snacks. For example, instead of store-bought pies and other baked goods, you can make pancakes

with meat and vegetables, wrap them in paper, and take them with you. Nutritionist Yulia Sharapova told Regnum News Agency this on Wednesday, November 11.
"Fast food shouldn't be demonized, because if the overall diet is varied, occasional consumption won't cause harm. But we must consider the composition of what we eat. For example, a burger with a white bun, patty, double cheese, and mayonnaise sauce is high in calories. Moreover, the bun may also be sprinkled with sugar and fried to create a crust. Such fatty and salty foods clog blood vessels," Sharapova explained.
You can reduce the calorie content of a burger by choosing a whole-grain bun, replacing the mayonnaise sauce with yogurt, and replacing the fatty patty with a leaner one, such as chicken or turkey. The nutritionist recommended a similar approach when choosing shawarma: it contains lavash, meat, and vegetables, but a large amount of fatty sauce can make the dish significantly less healthy.
"You can make the same shawarma at home. Instead of a rich, multi-ingredient sauce, it's better to use a yogurt-and-mustard sauce. And if you buy shawarma, you can ask for it to be served on a plate, with the sauce on the side," the agency's source noted.
Sharapova urged caution when eating deep-fried foods. Frying in large amounts of oil increases the calorie content of the food, and reusing the same oil at high temperatures can lead to the formation of harmful substances.
"Vegetable oil shouldn't be heated to high temperatures for long periods of time. If it's used repeatedly, it overheats, and this can be dangerous for the body. Foods fried in darkened, almost black, oil should be especially avoided," the nutritionist warned.
She named homemade food, including in an air fryer, which eliminates the need for a lot of oil, as a better alternative to French fries and nuggets. And instead of store-bought desserts and pies, the specialist suggested making your own snacks.
"It's easier to fry pancakes at home. You can choose an interesting flour, add a piece of meat and vegetables, and wrap it all in paper to take with you. It won't be a chaotic meal, but a meaningful one. We usually eat fast food because we're in a rush and it's easier to grab something. But if you plan your meals in advance and cook at home, it's the most ideal thing ever," Sharapova concluded.
Nutritionist Anton Polyakov previously told Regnum News Agency that one of the best snack options is a sandwich made from whole-grain bread and natural meat. Instead of sausage, the doctor recommends using boiled beef or beef tongue, which are equally tasty but much healthier.
