Save your unused calories for good food

Dr Leslie Tay said in his interview with Ms Teo Pau Lin, food correspondent of The Sunday Times dated 13/5/2007,

"I usually eat one main meal a day in the afternoons. I have cereal or something light in the mornings, and no dinner.

When I get home from work at 10pm, I have a fruit salad and maybe a sandwich with grilled vegetables. I try not to have any meat at night to cut down on my total cholesterol intake.

I have a theory on calorie conservation. When there's nothing spectacular to eat, I save calories by eating very little or healthily.

Then I have calories saved up for that wagyu steak on the weekend.

If a plate of char kway teow is mediocre, I'd rather not eat it, and save the calories for a shiok meal instead. "

Dr Leslie Tay is a general practitioner. He is so enamoured with Singapore's street food that he started a food blog last August to recommend the best stalls around.

His blog is at http://ieatishootipost.blogspot.com/

The blog's motto is " 'Never waste your calories on yucky food'.
