Part of fit fam or want to join? Avoid these Nigerian meals

Nigerians are fond of wishing for a flat tummy and a fitter physique while eating meals packed with calories.

Your fitfam will be in the mud if you eat these meals [Nairaland]

We know that the more calories a meal has, the more it causes weight gain.

Meals with high calories lead to diabetes, obesity and excessive weight gain, but this is not to say we should stay clear of calories.

Our body needs calories for energy. However, the serving and proportion make the difference.

These are some Nigerian meals that are high in calories;
