nasi lemak

About This Food

Nasi lemak is a fragrant rice dish cooked in coconut milk and pandan leaf, widely consumed in Malaysia and Singapore. One serving packs about 572.0 calories. It is a good source of carbohydrates and fats, providing energy for the day. Nasi lemak also contains dietary fiber, depending on the side dishes served with it. However, it can be high in saturated fat due to the coconut milk. It may not be suitable for those watching their fat intake or managing cholesterol levels. A moderate portion, perhaps half a serving, can be included as part of a balanced diet per day. Due to its high calorie and fat content, frequent consumption can contribute to weight gain. Consider opting for a smaller portion or adding more vegetables to balance the meal. Try using less coconut milk to lower the fat content.
