Healthier tips
- Keep it to a small portion (for example, a handful) and pair it with a protein or fiber-rich snack like boiled egg, yogurt, or fruit.
- Balance your day: if you have BBQ curls as a snack, make sure your main meals include rice in proper portion, plus ulam (vegetables) and a protein (fish, chicken, tofu).
- Choose “less salty” options when available, and avoid eating straight from the pack—portion first.
- Drink water to help you feel satisfied, and try not to snack late at night.
Everything in moderation works best for snacks like this.
