We’ve heard it all before. The online ordering apps have made life much easier for busy families and office workers. Even the occasional small events have benefited from the convenience and speed of ordering food and drink nowadays.

This kind of lifestyle, however, can end up raising our collective cholesterol levels. For those who wish to have a healthier year ahead, it helps to be mindful of what to order. 

Choose roast over fried, for example; or brown rice rather than white. While hunger pangs may push you to cave in over the sight of cheese-drenched burgers and fries, remember that a few classic favorites can give you the same craving-worthy satisfaction minus the unwanted calories.

A favorite is Kenny Rogers Roasters’ Healthy Plates lineup. Its original four plates — Classic Healthy Plate, High Fiber Meal, High Protein Meal and Low-Calorie Meal — are joined by three new plates as part of the lineup certified by SGS Philippines to ensure quality and nutritional value.

All Healthy Plates from Kenny Rogers Roasters are assessed using the Recommended Energy and Nutrient Intake (REI/RNI) guidelines. These standards help show how much of your daily nutritional needs a meal can support. Instead of focusing on the numbers, customers can simply take it as a reminder that each healthy plate provides meaningful benefits like more protein, more fiber or fewer calories depending on what their body needs.

Frederick Siy, chief executive officer and president of Kenny Rogers Roasters Philippines, says, “We want our guests to enjoy food that satisfies their cravings and supports their personal well-being. These Healthy Plates were created to make loving yourself through better eating both simple and enjoyable.”
