3. Discussion

Eating out means all the ready food and drinks that we are consuming outside the home. Mixing snacks and proper dishes, eating without control of the amount of food intake making us less healthy, fat and obese. Without proper planning daily amount of calories intake usually exceeding the norm of 2000 kcal for women and 2500 for men (Nhs.uk 2015). That leads to some very unpleasant and even dangerous diseases, such as heart diseases, cancer, atheroma, blood cholesterol, disability during old ages, obesity and plenty more. Most of them are causes each other’s, but one of the main reason is misbalance in diet.

Presented menu contains quite high amount of kcal, which means that it will probably cover all day dietary norm. Such menu is mostly suitable for example, for birthday party, when people are eating once during the day, just by dividing the whole menu as different meals. From this point of view, calories intake is going to be spread during the day and most of the nutrients will have a chance to break down during digestion and actually become helpful and healthy.
