Curious,
I asked one of the regulars, Poh Leng, about her caloric estimation
of the meals in these photographs above. She replied:
Hi
Siva,
The
calorie estimates based on regular portion size (including gravy)
are:
-
Nasi Lemak (450 kcal)
- Mee
Rebus (555 kcal)
- Mee
Siam (520 kcal)
- Lontong
(390 kcal)
- Roti
Prata - plain (122 kcal)
- Plain
Thosai (196 kcal)
Depending
on efficiency and body size, a 70 kg man could burn ~ 5.6-7.0
kcal/minutes on 5.6 km/hour walk. I.e. up to ~ 600kcal on a 2
hour walk (for slackers).
It's
not the calorie that matters, it's the quality of the food. Be
"calorie aware" but do not be obsessed with calorie
counting. Enjoy!
Good day,
Poh Leng |
