There are many ways to make meals healthier. Limit fats, sugar and salt and include plenty of vegetables, fruits, grains, lean meat and low fat dairy in your cooking. Foods with added sugar fats and salt are less healthy than foods in which this are found naturally.
One of the Right way of healthy cooking is boiling and steaming. Moist heat cooking methods such as Boiling and Steaming are the best and healthy way to prepare vegetables and meat and produce, because they're done at the lower temperature and if you're watching your weights these styles are good for keeping calories down because they often don't require oil or butter. Which will help you to increase calories. Both the ways are very easy to cook. You don't require a lot of things just a pot, water and vegetables or meat.
Shopping for healthy food.
Low- fat cooking begins when you are shopping:
1. Choose the reduced or low fat version of a food if possible for example milk, cheese, yogurt, salad dressing and gravies.
2. Choose lean meat cuts and skinless chicken breasts.
3. Limit fat foods, chips, processed meats, and pies, which all contain large amounts of fat.
Low fat cooking
Suggestions include:
If u need to use oil, try cooking sprays or apply small amount of oil with a pastry brush. Cook in liquids (such as stock wine, lemon juice, fruit juice, vinegar or water) instead of oil. Use low fat yogurt, low fat milk, evaporated skim milk or cornstarch instead of cream in sauces or soups. When browning vegetables by pan-frying is to cook them first in microwave, then crisp them under the grill for a minute or two. Use pesto, salsas, chutneys and vinegars in place of sour creams, butter and creamy sauces.
