Eating hot pot like this won’t make you fat! Nutritionists teach you how to choose the right meat and staple food, so you can enjoy delicious food and lose weight

Matsusaka pig vs. plum pig

To review again, white meat has less fat and fewer calories than red meat. Common white meat in hot pot includes poultry and seafood such as chicken, snapper fillet, shrimp, oysters, and scallops. It is the lightest representative of meat in terms of calories, with one serving containing about 200 to 400 calories.

Now we all understand that eating red meat is not a sin. After all, the fat content of red meat varies by two to three times depending on the part of the meat.

High-fat meats include plum blossom pork, five-belly pork, marbled beef, and snowflake beef. On the contrary, the elastic and crispy pine pork (pork neck) has a low fat content and is the first choice of red meat for hot pot!

It doesn’t matter if you are not familiar with the name of the meat. Let’s judge by its appearance: the more evenly the fat is distributed, and the more complete red meat areas can hardly be seen. These are high-fat meats. If you are a meat lover, remember to eat no more than 2 slices!

The answer is: Matsusaka pig!

Nutritionist's way of eating hotpot

For hotpot, try to choose original foods, such as vegetables, which can be eaten unlimitedly. When eating hot pot, remember to eat a bowl of vegetables first, and the rest can be referred to as follows:

Staple Food

Choose starchy staples such as pumpkin, taro, and corn. They contain appropriate amounts of fiber and promote satiety, and one bowl of them is enough.

meat

Chicken and seafood are the first choices, and Matsusaka pork is also acceptable. The commercially available portions of these meats are just the right size. Try to avoid high-fat meat with evenly distributed fat and almost no complete red color. Fatty meat lovers should only eat 2 slices at most.

Dumplings

Choose 4 seafood meatballs and 1 pork meatball. Tofu skin lovers please exchange one seafood ball and one pork ball.

Soup Base

Clear soup bases such as medicinal food, kelp, tomato, and sauerkraut are most suitable. Before adding any ingredients, you can drink 2 bowls of clear soup or 1 bowl of thick soup. For those who like to drink essence soup base, remember to add 2 bowls of high-potassium vegetables such as Chinese spinach, puffball, oyster mushroom, enoki mushroom, and white mushroom to balance the excessive sodium intake.

Sauces

The sauce is mainly composed of clear soy sauce, and you can add chopped green onions, chili peppers, mashed garlic, minced ginger, mashed radish, and vinegar. In case you love shacha sauce, chili oil, egg yolk, bean paste, sesame paste, peanut powder and other high-oil condiments, half a spoonful per meal is best (one spoonful is the white plastic spoon used in takeout noodle stalls).

dessert

Dessert after a meal is not advisable, but if you really want to, remember to choose low-fat and low-calorie soft serve ice cream!
