Did you know that one of the most popular noodle dishes in the world can actually be a great option for fat loss? Welcome to Macros & Memories where I recreate the Asian dishes we grew up eating but higher protein, fewer calories, and better macros to fit your fitness goals. Episode 9, we're making a Thai classic, Pad See Ew. Growing up Asian, the first time I had this dish was at the mall at a fast food chain called Thai Express. If you know, you know. And even though it was fast food, I immediately fell in love with that sweet, savory, garlicky flavor and those chewy wide rice noodles. As I got older and started trying more authentic versions at different Thai restaurants, Pad See Ew slowly became one of my favorite noodle dishes. The only problem? Most restaurant versions are pretty carb heavy, cooked with a ton of oil, and can get very calorie dense, which isn't exactly ideal when you're trying to lose body fat. But this dish is way too good to give up. So I made my own version that's higher in protein and lower in calories while still keeping all that nostalgic, savory flavor. The secret is simple: less oil, a leaner protein, less added sugar, and a lot more greens to give you more volume without adding a ton of calories. Full recipe and macros are in the caption below.
