Posted on February 14, 2014 at 9:24 am

Comfort food is a food that makes you feel good as it is generally linked to the foods that you ate while growing up. These foods are made by your grandmothers and mothers with utmost love and care and hence it is very special. Every person has his/her own idea of comfort food which may include meatloaf with mashed potatoes, homemade macaroni and cheese, cheese rich pizzas, chocolate chip cookies and apple pie with ice cream. But the most common pattern that is found in these foods is high content of fat and calories that are found in these comforting foods.

The definition of comfort food is being redefined by the current generation as the youngsters are becoming aware of making a healthy food choice as they want to intake fewer calories and less fat content without sacrificing the flavor of food. It also includes indulging in your favorite food less often and having only smaller portions of the comfort food.
