Fried Rice and Spring Rolls

Today for lunch, I had fried rice and two spring rolls.  These types of foods are common among Asian Americans and sometimes can be considered comfort foods and apart of our daily intake.  I had approximately one cup of fried rice and two spring rolls with shrimp. 



Fried Rice
   Fried Rice is approximately 228 calories in a one cup serving, it varies depending on what type of oil used and other ingredients you decide to put in it. 
    

Spring Rolls
   Again, spring rolls is approximately 82 calories for each serving and since I had two, it is about 164 calories.  The amount of calories also depends in what you put in it as well.  A popular ingredient to put in spring rolls is shrimp or slices of meat such as pork. 

Since these types of foods are low in calories, I would say this is a pretty healthy meal.  The fried rice could be altered a little bit such as adding more vegetables.
