Not only is Tom kha gai flavorful, but it is healthy in the proper proportions. It is rich in protein and fiber with chicken stock and slices, mushrooms, and veggies like carrots.   Mushrooms are a rich source of fiber, proteins, and anti-oxidants.   Thai coconut chicken soup has many calories and fats that come from coconut milk, so having it with other high-carb food might not be too good. It is essential to moderate portions if you are calorie-conscious.   Coconut milk is lactose-free, an excellent substitute for milk, and a good source of healthy fats. It is a good choice for people with lactose intolerance.
