We get it. Ordering takeout food is sometimes exactly what the doctor ordered. Whether you’re craving something in particular, or you’ve just run into a barrage of cash, or you’re celebrating something, or you’re just flat out not in the mood to make anything yourself—ordering delivery food is a pretty fun thing to do. However, there’s a stigma that takeout food is always unhealthy, and that’s not exactly true.

Salads Galore

With fitness and vegan trends emerging more and more, salad bars are becoming quite popular. As such, you can order a salad to your doorstep, and as long as you’re not adding anything unhealthy to it, your salad will usually be pretty darn good for you.

Organic and Non-Fried

There are many restaurants that are becoming extremely health-conscious about the food they’re serving their customers. You can avoid fast food and instead order from these independent eateries that specialize in organic and/or non-fried food.

Moderation

One of the reasons takeout food is unhealthy is that people can get into a spiral of doing it all the time. But if you do it on occasion, it won’t be such a hit to your body or metabolism. So keep things in moderation and you’ll be fine.
