TikTok completely changed the way we approach food these days, and most people can’t resist trying viral recipes that are constantly emerging on this platform. If you happen to be one of them but want to make sure that the foods you’re trying are healthy, as well, these three tips will get you there.

Choose Your Fighter

There’s no need to try every trendy food that TikTok introduces you to. Some recipes suit your taste while others don’t, and you should focus on ones that seem impossible to resist. Even if the recipe in question is not 100% healthy, you don’t lose much by trying it once.

Moderation is Key

Just like with any other food, viral TikTok dishes won’t do you any good if you’re eating them in unlimited amounts. Moderation is key when it comes to these foods, and you shouldn’t completely skip pancake cereal or baked feta pasta, as long as your portions are reasonable.

Ingredient Switch

Some TikTok foods already feature healthy ingredients, but you can always modify the recipe if that’s not the case. If the original clip includes ingredients that aren’t healthy or you don’t necessarily enjoy, you can always swap them with healthier substitutes.
