Inside This Article:

1.   Fried Chicken

Perhaps the most popular take-out option in the US, fried chicken became a popular choice for Americans way back in the 19th century and now appears on more than three-quarters of all menus in restaurants in the South.

The popularity of fried chicken, often accompanied by thick, fluffy waffles, is also a bonus for food manufacturers, as well as restauranters, due to the inexpensive nature of chicken and the ease at which it can be cooked on huge scales.

In terms of the nutritional benefits of fried chicken, even though such take-outs are generally high in calories, the protein from chicken benefits your body in numerous ways, including the growth of new tissue and muscle mass.

2.   Pizza For Take-out Food

To a native Italian, the types of pizza delivered from even the more high-end pizza restaurants in the US leave a lot to be desired and, as such, bear only a passing resemblance to a slice of pizza that you would enjoy in Milan.

However, this does not stop Americans from ordering more pizza every single year than any other deliverable meal, and due to the wide range of different available toppings, you can make your pizza as healthy or as unhealthy as you would like.

Healthier pizza toppings could include:

  • Thin-crust bases with turkey pepperoni and fresh mushrooms
  • Lean bacon, pesto and sundried tomatoes
  • Cauliflower and chicken flatbread pizza
  • Thai chicken pizza

 

3.   Indian Cuisine

Indian food is a cuisine favored by people from all around the world and the popularity of the dishes is no doubt, in part, due to the wide array of flavorings, levels of heat and various herbs and spices used.

Authentic Indian take-outs are far superior to generic offerings and should you be around the southwest of England any time soon, then Urban Tandoor is a Bristol Indian restaurant like no other, offering freshly cooked Indian dishes you are bound to love.

Eating Indian food on a more regular basis has been linked to an improvement in the strength of bones, stronger heart health, lowering of blood pressure and also, interestingly, a more balanced level of mental health and wellbeing.

 

4.   Tacos For Take-out Food

Very much a build-it-yourself take-out meal, tacos are also immensely popular, possibly due to the tasty range of fillings and even types of taco shells you can choose from.

Tacos are most definitely the healthiest option for a food delivery on the list, mainly due to the simple fact that only fresh ingredients are used and the range of different toppings provide a balanced and basically healthy meal.
