Takeaways

It’s easier than ever to order food, wherever you are, at any time. There are ways to still have your takeaway, but make it healthier.

The advice in the "making meals and snacks healthier" section applies to deliveries and takeaways too.

It can be tempting to click for several extras, side dishes or dips, especially when there are special offers
Sticking to just what you and your family need, such as only one menu item or planning to share, can help
The way these foods are promoted is designed to make you want to pick more. Planning beforehand what you and your family want to order can help
The containers can be handy for storage and means any leftovers can be used the next day if stored correctly. You don't have to finish a large portion
Leftovers can be meals the following day if they are reheated thoroughly
Add some potatoes or rice to left over curry, or bulk out a sauce with vegetables and serve with pasta

Using takeaway food as leftovers the next day can help save money.
