Spring roll

Per roll: 110 calories | 6g fat | 450mg sodium

While the calories do not appear overly high, when you consider you get very little protein or veggie from a spring roll, it means you are basically eating a lot of fat and salt in a few mouthfuls.

Massaman beef curry

Per 200g serve: 560 calories | 46g fat | 950mg sodium

A heavy curry made with a base of fatty meat, potatoes and coconut milk, with few other vegetables and usually teamed with steamed rice, makes this option an especially heavy one.

Pad see ew

Per 200g serve: 450 calories | 26g fat | 1850mg sodium

Made with wide rice noodles, plenty of soy and egg alongside your favourite protein, like Pad Thai, this option tends to be high in fat and calories and offers little in the way of vegetables and is especially high in salt, thanks to the extra soy sauce used to coat the noodles.

Pad Thai

Per 200g serve: 420 calories | 23g fat | 1230mg sodium

Noodles, chicken and vegetables may sound healthy but this dish is deep fried, generally contains fatty meats, plenty of carbs with few vegetables along with loads of salt.

Thai green curry

Per 200g serve: 420 calories | 26g fat | 890mg sodium

Generally made using coconut milk, the average serve of this dish will give you a significant amount of saturated fat and is generally made with fattier cuts of meat like chicken thigh.

Thai red curry

Per 200g serve: 420 calories | 26g fat | 890mg sodium

Very similar nutritionally to green curry, the choice of protein you add to your curry will help to lower the calories.

For example, tofu and prawns are lighter options than pork and chicken thigh.

Chicken cashew nut

Per 200g serve: 410 calories | 15g fat | 990mg sodium

Even better nutritionally if served without rice, a good mix of vegetables and relatively lean protein makes a plain stir fry one of the best options nutritionally.

Chicken satay skewers

Per stick: 85calories | 5g fat | 320mg sodium

While the peanut sauce is high in fat, the meat on the skewers is usually lean, making it a protein rich entrée option.

Thai beef salad

Per 200g serve: 260 calories | 9g fat | 940mg sodium

One of the lowest fat and calorie menu items, with relatively lean beef and plenty of salad veggie as well as metabolism boosting chilli, this dish is one of the best options nutritionally.

Tom Yum soup

Per cup: 100 calories | 3g fat | 1200mg sodium
