1. Introduction

Nowadays we are spending more and more time for eating away from home, consuming more ready prepared food and drinks. Our complex and fast society demand more simple and relaxing, but at the same time quite quick attitude in other aspects of life, such as communication, free time spending and of course, eating and drinking. Eating out market continue to growth and more people nowadays are doing it just on impulse, without planning in advance (Mintel, 2014). Even if eating out were planned, at most of the times we are trying to take something unusual. For example, something what is hard to prepare at the kitchen, dishes from rare type of products or traditional food in country abroad. These all reasons actually lead to a greater consumption in terms of calories and fats. Especially this trend is taking place in big cities where people spend a lot of time at work and simply have no time in order to consistently cook for themselves. That’s why catching food and eating on the go become quite normal behaviour. Thus, it is very important to pay attention to some dietary guidelines, nutrition and healthier substitutes for some ingredients. It will be not only suitable for consumer, who are counting their calories, but also will help everyone to keep a healthier lifestyle and mainly reduce consumption of fats through balancing all the nutrients.
