Basically, the Hokkien Mee gave 885.13 kcal of energy, 50g of Protein, 39g of Total Fat, 8.2g of Dietary Fibre, 63g of Carbohydrates, 395mg of Cholesterol, 1763mg of Sodium and 62g of Sugar
The Carrot Juice gave me 91 kcal of energy, 1 g of Protein, 1g of Total Fat, 2.1g of Dietary Fibre, 20g of Carbohydrates, 0mg of Cholesterol, 194mg of Sodium and 10g of sugar

Ok... this being my first time calculating, i'm a bit freaked out by the amount of carbo i consume in a day. MUST cut down. after all, unused carbo just terms to fats.
That's all the statistics of the food i ate on Day 1 that are calculated on the Health Promotion Board Website. Cheers! :)

The ALL POWERFUL One-Dish meal

The ingredients in this one-dish meal were

1. Yellow Noodles

2. Thick Bee Hoon
3. Prawns
4. Pork
5. Egg
6. Bean Sprouts
7. Squid
8. Lime (optional)

I felt like the pork and the prawns were the most unhealthy ingredients of the dish as the pork is high in fat content and the prawns are high in cholestral. Thus, i decided to change the Pork, into a healthier alternative--- Chicken. Chicken can still be used to help make the stock smell better and also does not taste bad in the noodles.
As for the problem of the Prawns, I suggest we remove them altogether. They do not really make much difference in the dish and the flavour that they add can be easily replaced by seasoning. Thus, with the removal of the prawns and the replacement of the pork, the dish has become much healthier!
