Roast Chicken: you cannot go wrong with some roast chicken, especially on a Friday night, accompanied by all the traditional Jewish trimmings.
Dietician Joan Wides writes:
Many of us have been conditioned to enjoy sweet foods since childhood. Sugar adds palatability to foods and is included in small amounts in many processed foods as a flavour enhancer.
However, if sugar is eaten in large amounts or continuously, it provides plenty of calories with very few other nutrients. It also causes dental decay. Tzimmes always contains sugar (or honey which has a similar profile to sugar) as one of the traditional ingredients. But both chopped egg and onion and matzah balls can be made without sugar. For those who like sweet foods, try to cut down on table sugar and confectionery, cakes, biscuits and fizzy drinks. Fresh or dried fruit provides a healthier sweet taste. Artificial sweeteners used in drinks, jellies, yogurts, sweets, puddings etc. can be used in moderation to satisfy a sweet tooth.
Eating roast beef minus any visible fat and chicken without skin will reduce their
saturated fat content.
