Analysis of my diet: Tool n3

Analysis of my diet: Energy and nutrient composition of food

This time round, I want to see how 'nutritious' my main courses are and I think it is rather important because my main meals is when I get the most of the carbs, proteins, and ultimately fats.

Firstly, I am shocked by the amount of sodium in Yong Taohu soup because I've always thought that soup dishes was supposed to be more healthy and yet it had twice the sodium of fried beehoon. From now on, I shall make a note to myself to stop drinking the soup (no matter how tempting it is). I think among these 4 choices, the dumplings with pork and chives & the roasted chicken are the healthiest, however, I would probably choose the dumplings since it provides me with more energy and I find roast chicken rather dry and bland.
