Can’t wait to indulge all the CNY Goodies?

One of the most enjoyable parts about the festive season, other than being in the company of our closest family and friends, is undoubtedly the food. Chinese New Year season is the time where we tend to let loose and indulge in endless hotpots and delicious festive goodies.

However, with multiple festive occasions happening in quick succession, it is important to watch what we are consuming so that we do not overeat and regret later. So, before you pop the next delicious, mouth-watering snack in your mouth, read on to find out how many calories your favourite CNY snacks contain and some tips to help you manage festive eating this Chinese New Year.¹

Tips to survive CNY snacking

Look for healthier options when choosing CNY snacks

When shopping for snacks and beverages, keep an eye out for healthier options. Choose baked snacks instead of fried, look for reduced sugar, lightly salted, no trans-fat options, and items with the Healthier Choice logo.


Snack in moderation

It is not fun to be counting calories while indulging in yummy CNY snacks. Instead of completely abstaining from them altogether, go ahead and indulge in some of your favourite CNY snacks, but be mindful to snack in moderation and not go overboard. A way to moderate would be to prioritise your favourite snacks and just eat those. You can also set yourself a limit of how many pieces of each snack you can eat (this can be done by setting aside the snacks that you are going to eat instead of eating it straight from the tub) and stick to it.


Stay active

Consider working out based on the snacks that you have eaten (see chart above), or aim for 10,000 steps a day throughout the CNY festive season. Taking time between or after CNY visitations to work out or go outside for a walk can not only control weight gain but also promote mental well-being.

Recognise signals that your body sends when it is too full

When presented with a myriad of food and snack options, it is easy to overeat if you are not careful. Our brain takes around 20 minutes to register that the stomach is full.² During this time, we can be consuming far more food than our body can take. Instead of trying to eat everything that you see, pace yourself, slow down, chew thoroughly and enjoy the food that you are eating.
