In a bid to encourage healthy eating among the city’s residents, the Dubai Municipality (DM) has launched a ‘Know Your Calories’ initiative.
The government department took to Twitter to announce the launch of the new initiative on Saturday, December 19.
It said: “The Know Your Calories initiative’ aims to help consumers have a healthier life and enhance the community's awareness about the importance of calorie count and calculating it according to a healthy and proper diet.”
The civic body provided residents with a few tips to tweak homemade recipes into healthier ones:
>> Use leaner cuts of meats
>> Reduce the amount of oil used, and measure it with a spoon instead of pouring it directly from the bottle
>> Use reduced fat-free alternatives to milk – such as yogurt, labneh, and cheese
>> Consume whole fruits rather than fruit juices, because a whole fruit has fewer calories and higher fibre content.
