The Malaysian Food Caloric Guide Part 2

Follow up from Part 1 of the Caloric guide which focused mainly on raw food, here are more information that i managed to scour from MyFitnessPal. The Caloric content of the typical hawker food available in Malaysia and how you can use them as a rough estimate and guidance to your daily diet. From the look of it, it seems that the typical Malaysian meal would cost the eater about 500kcal/meal. Ain't a bad thing if you have enough discipline and selective to what you want to eat - but bad as the portion are often wrong and we tend to overeat (by ordering a LARGE serving).
