A chicken shish kebab with pita bread and lots of salad is pretty healthy.

I don't think you'll improve on that. Elephant leg and chips though, not so good.

Chicken kebab on the skewer with pita and salad.

Those Donners
are like 40% fat.

Guess where the problem is coming from.

None of them; they all embody everything bad in food. High fat, high salt, MSG, processed trans fats. You name it, they contain it.

That's why they taste so good.

Which is incorrect.

Turkish grill style places are generally not too bad, as mentioned above you can get stuff like chicken or lamb in a pitta, wraps, my local one even do a box with your choice of grilled meat, a few fries, rice and salad.

When I’m on a cut down these are my goto healthy takeaways or meals out -

Mixed grill and boiled rice
Chicken tikka and boiled rice
Chicken shish and salad
Chicken peri peri type places

Or just get out the barbie and throw a steak on

An apple from a tree
Tiny dewdrops off a flea
A carrot from the soil
Fishes eaten after toil

So long as it comes with a unreasonable amount of chili sauce and garlic mayo! Hhhhm lovely. Might have to visit Atalays tonight.

You should ask the question on the Dirty Takeaway Thread , plenty of knowledgeable folk on there
Get a nice mixed shish throw the bread away

Salad made in a kitchen that cuts up uncooked meat?

Presumably you don’t ever eat out anywhere aside from greggs or similar then

A healthy kebab is probably just a proper decent one.

You ain't paying a fiver for it though.

Good point but some kitchens may have lower hygiene standards than others where fast takeaway throughput is the larger part of the business. Uncooked dishes must be avoided when immune systems are compromised; even at home. It sharpens the alarm circuits.

Naked burrito or salad bowl depending on how healthy you want to be! from somewhere like Tortilla or Zambrero

^^^ Very much this. Seems to be an increasingly popular style of food in UK.

The basic rules are always the same. Reduce fat and reduce sugar.

I enjoy meat/fish on an almost daily basis but keep "meat products" to an absolute minimum. Essentially anything that looks remotely like a sausage and cheap, shop-bought pies. Yes, I do eat some bacon so long as it's not swimming in grease. Similarly a limited amount of ice-cream.

Pizza should be pretty healthy so long as it's not loaded with rubbish. Similarly fish and chips can be fine or can be semi-lethal!
