I'm asking, caus, latly(mening since like sunday), I've found this one kebab shop that makes the best kebab I've ever had, and I seriusly lack willpower when it comes to food (A) |
I will try tackle this from two points of view. Firstly I will answer what you are probably asking about
: how it affects fitness/calorie count. Secondly, I will address things from a hygiene/long-term perspective.
So let us begin!
I guess the phrase: "Everything in moderation" probably answers your question quite well. A lot of it depends on the cuts of meats chosen for the kebab, as well as the consumed volume and accompanying items on the skewer (
shish-kebab) or bun (
doner kebab) itself. Other things to consider are the sauces being added.
It should be noted that in general, restaurants are under an enormous amount of pressure to please customers with 'tasty' items. The body naturally craves things like fats and sugars, for instance. You'll probably find that a lot of restaurants play to this through the items they sell. As an example, some cuts of meat may have a bit more fat content than others, which makes it smell more fragrant or a bit 'tastier'. The sauces may also be somewhat high on calorie counts also.
That being said, it doesn't mean you can't have these delicious-sounding kebabs!!!
Kebabs can be a 'healthier alternative' as well. It all depends on the care in preparing the food, as well as the chosen contents. Many studies seem to suggest that the calorie count for
doner kebabs can be quite high, so be careful with this. However, every kebab shop is different - as long as you do a quick assessment, then I'm sure it'll be okay.
If you perform the appropriate level of exercise (as with any other food, home-made or otherwise), then you will be fine. When it all comes down to it? It's balancing the calories in versus the amount out.
I now look at the 'other' health aspect of kebabs:
For
doner kebabs? The meat should be prepared at high temperature to ensure sufficient cooking. Take note also that the meat is sliced per order. Meat which has been placed in trays, awaiting customer arrival has a longer time for bacteria to settle. Likewise, if the restaurant has a high customer count, then items like salads accompanying
doner kebabs are more likely to be fresh and contain less bacteria.
For
shish kebabs? Ensure that the meat is appropriately cooked, but not overly charred, as this correlates with an increased chance of cancer.
I hope I covered both sides of the health question?

Haha! I'm visualizing a horde of kebab-lovers stampeding towards Neo right now, all with skewers in hand
