The new meal is part of Nando’s e fforts in promoting the importance of healthy eating together with a proper fitness regime.
Nando’s Health and Nutritional Campaign, themed ‘Eat Responsibility’ will be running a series of interesting activities in line with the campaign until Jan 3 next year.
“We believe the Peri-Peri Flame Grilled Chicken, made from the A-grade butter y cut chickens, with excess fat trimmed o ff, no added colourants, flavourants, additives or MSG, is the healthier meal option as it o ffers the ideal calorie count and high protein level,” said Nando’s Restaurants chief executive o fficer Mac Chung
Lynn.
She added that Nando’s famed ingredient — the Peri- Peri — is rich in Vitamin C, Vitamin A, high in antioxidants and helps enhance metabolism as well as burns fat.
Nando's and Kevin Zahri
Nando’s together with Malaysia’s own health celebrity Kevin Zahri chose the most suitable sidelines to accompany the classic Peri-Peri Flame Grilled Chicken for the Peri Hearty Meal.
“We all know that it is important to have a balanced diet, but what is more important is educating ourselves on what a balanced diet is,” said Kevin.
He added that the average person needs 2,000 calories every day and a balanced diet must contain carbohydrate, protein, fat, vitamins, mineral salts and bre taken in correct proportions.
The nutritionist and author of the book Fitness 24/7 also believes that the more a person eats, the more exercise is necessary to be healthy.
To further advocate healthy eating and lifestyles, Nando’s is working together with Fitness First for a seven-week fitness regime challenge.
The challenge will see two lucky Hitz.Fm listeners selected through the radio station’s online search to undergo training along with DJs Jakeman and Rudy under the guidance and supervision of personal trainers from the gym.
The two listeners will compete against each other to be the ttest throughout the challenge and the winner will have the opportunity to take a friend on holiday together with Jakeman and Rudy at Club Med Cherating.
If you are keen on keeping to or staying healthy, Nando’s Peri-Peri Flame-Grilled Chicken is a delicious and healthy meal to complement your daily regime.
The healthier alternative is now available at Nando’s restaurants across the country at RM17.80 or a special price of RM14.50 for Fitness First members.
Makan cara sihat di Nando's
KEGEMUKAN di kalangan masyarakat tempatan berada di tahap membimbangkan, kata Menteri Kesihatan, Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai dalam satu seminar kesihatan baru-baru ini berkata;
"Semakin ramai rakyat tempatan 'membesar ke tepi' sehingga bentuk badan tidak terkawal. Negara berdepan 'wabak' berat badan berlebihan (obesiti) yang amat ketara dan boleh dilihat dengan jelas di kalangan masyarakat hari ini."
Justeru itu, dalam usaha mengatasi kebimbangan ini, rangkaian restoran Nando's melancarkan Kempen Kesihatan dan Nutrisi Nando's bertema 'Makan Secara Bertanggungjawab'.
Kempen bermula 29 Oktober 2009 hingga 3 Januari 2010 itu menekankan pentingnya amalan makan secara bertanggungjawab dan kombinasi amalan bersukan untuk menjaga kecergasan diri.

Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif Nando's Restaurants, Mac Chung Lynn berkata, bagi memberi pilihan kepada pengguna untuk mendapatkan hidangan yang sihat maka ayam Peri-Peri Nando's lah harus menjadi keutamaan.
Ini kerana ia terdiri daripada ayam gred A paling segar, diperap selama 24 jam dengan adunan ramuan resipi Afro-Portugis dan dipotong mengikut bentuk rama-rama sebelum dipanggang segar.
Di samping itu, ia juga dibuang lemak, tanpa tambahan pewarna, perasa atau MSG. Ia juga rendah kalori tetapi tinggi kandungan protein.
"Kelebihan ayam Nando's ialah ramuan Peri-Peri Nando's yang kaya dengan Vitamin C, Vitamin A, antioksidan dan cili pedas yang membantu meningkatkan metabolisme dan membakar lemak," tambahnya.
Pada masa yang sama, Nando's turut berganding bahu dengan pusat kecergasan Fitness First bagi menganjurkan cabaran kecergasan selama tujuh minggu berturut-turut.
Cabaran itu memberi peluang kepada dua pendengar bertuah yang dipilih menerusi pencarian dalam talian untuk menjalani latihan kecergasan bersama juruhebah HitzFM, Jakeman dan Rudy.
Latihan dijalankan di bawah pengawasan jurulatih peribadi Fitness First dan salah seorang daripada dua pendengar bertuah bakal muncul juara peserta paling cergas dalam tempoh tersebut.
Sepanjang cabaran, ukuran berat badan, lemak dan indeks jisim badan (BMI) akan dipantau dengan teliti.
Pemenang cabaran boleh membawa seorang rakan bercuti bersama Jakeman dan Rudy di Club Med Cherating.
Di samping itu, Nando's juga menawarkan Nando's Peri Hearty Meal pada harga RM14.50 kepada ahli Fitness First.
Bagi cabutan bertuah Nando's Peri Hearty Meal pula, Nando's menyediakan hadiah pakej percutian untuk dua orang ke Club Med Cherating kepada lima pemenang bertuah.
