When it comes to street food, taste often takes priority over nutrition—but what does your skin (and overall health) think about your favorite chaat? A dermatologist, Dr. Priyanka Reddy has weighed in, ranking popular street foods on a scale of 1 to 10 based on calorie count, how they’re prepared (especially if fried), and their overall impact on health.
Spoiler: no street food truly gets the “healthy” label, but some are far less damaging than others. From pani puri to Chinese-style noodles, here’s how your go-to snacks stack up—and why clean, home-cooked meals are always the better option.
Please avoid junk as much as possible. Stick to home cooked healthy clean eating.
