Takeaway?

The takeaway industry is experiencing golden years. More and more restaurants offer a delivery service or at least the option of takeout. And many people find it worth a little extra money not to have to cook. So if you eat a takeaway several times a week, you're definitely not alone!

Nevertheless, there are significant disadvantages associated with a structural take-out diet. Of course it's more expensive, but that's not even the biggest problem. More annoyingly, restaurant food is usually just not good for you. In particular, a lot of salt is added. Also, take-away meals often contain little vegetables and the portions are too large.

In short, even if you don't feel like cooking, a takeaway is often not the best choice. There are exceptions, of course, and if you have really healthy restaurants around, that's fine. However, this is not the case for most occasions!
Ready-made meals?

What to do then? You can of course also get a ready-to-eat meal at home. However, they have a relatively bad reputation for a reason. Again, they often contain too much salt and sugar, too many calories and not enough vegetables.

There are also exceptions here. More and more brands are focusing on ready-to-eat meals that are full of healthy and fresh ingredients. Think of the steam meals or pureer soups from Albert Heijn. Those are great choices for a responsible dinner.

Of course, you will be slightly more expensive than if your meal is prepared entirely yourself. But if you really don't feel like cooking and you want to eat responsibly, you might just be willing to spend that money.

Bread is â € “as long as you choose whole grain â €“ a very healthy choice. If you don't feel like making things difficult for your dinner, a sandwich meal is a great option. That could of course be a plain cheese sandwich, but you can vary much more easily.
