Limit yourself to 1 serving of döner per day. Opting for a whole-grain wrap and loading up on extra fresh vegetables can contribute to a more balanced meal.
Can I eat döner meat while pregnant?
Yes, but ensure that the meat is thoroughly cooked to avoid any risk of bacterial infections, which can be harmful during pregnancy.
What are healthier döner options during pregnancy?
Choose leaner meats like chicken, and request extra vegetables such as lettuce, cucumbers, and tomatoes to enhance nutritional value.
