Is satay unhealthy?

[Nutellah_]

Just wondering if satay is considered unhealthy. I love it, but I’m trying to eat a bit better. Is it something I should avoid, or is it okay to indulge in occasionally?

Hi. Although this dish is moderately high in energy and fat, it should not be eaten regularly as it is high in saturated fat, cholesterol and sodium.

Satay can be a pretty balanced choice! It's often grilled and can be made with lean meats or tofu. The sauce, though, can be high in sugar and fat, so just be mindful of the amount you use. Enjoy it as part of a varied diet for a tasty treat!

Satay can contain high sugar or sodium levels because of the marinade and high calories and fat because of the peanut sauce, especially if they are cooked outside. So, I recommend you eat it in moderation and occasionally, and perhaps try to make one at home so you can control the ingredients used.
