Is Air Force breakfast bad? Nutritionist: The blacklist of obesity landmines is…

According to media reports, a volunteer air force soldier recently took a photo of his unit's breakfast with his mobile phone and posted it on Facebook to complain that the breakfast was unpalatable. As a result, he was reprimanded. Although what tastes good or bad is subjective, nutritionists analyzed the breakfast content later announced by the Air Force Command. What hidden problems are there? Recommendations on breakfast alternatives from a nutritional perspective can help prevent obesity problems in the future.

According to the Air Force Command, the Air Force breakfast includes: mushroom meat porridge, meat floss, pickled cucumbers, as well as cheese omelette, taro-flavored steamed buns, mung bean soup and other meals.

Currently, many countries have soldiers who are overweight and have to implement "weight loss orders". There are certainly many reasons for soldiers' obesity, but it is definitely related to diet and exercise. Nutritionist Zhao Hanying said that judging from the content of the Air Force's breakfast, the nutritional balance is a little lacking because the ratio of refined starch to processed products is slightly high, and the proportion of vegetables, fruits and good fats is insufficient. I would definitely recommend the cheese omelette, which has less than 200 calories but contains starch protein and can supplement calcium. If you add some vegetables to make it a vegetable omelette, it will be even better!

Mushroom and meat porridge and steamed buns cause blood sugar to rise rapidly

What you need to pay attention to when eating such breakfast is that eating mushroom meat porridge and steamed buns in the morning can easily cause a rapid rise in blood sugar. Once you develop a eating habit that causes a sudden and rapid rise in blood sugar levels, it will lead to excessive secretion of insulin, and you will feel dizzy and sleepy. If you consume it for a long time, there is a risk of obesity. In addition, too many processed products such as meat floss and pickled cucumbers, and a lack of fiber from fruits and vegetables may also reduce the number of beneficial bacteria in the intestines, causing irregular bowel movements and even high blood pressure, which can easily increase the risk of the three highs and intestinal diseases.

A balanced and nutritious breakfast can prevent obesity risk in the future

Nutritionist Zhao Hanying suggests that a balanced and nutritious breakfast should include: non-refined starch (such as sweet potato, pumpkin, oatmeal), rich protein (such as eggs, soy milk). It is recommended that a balanced breakfast should also have a variety of vegetables with fruits and nuts, which can not only give you good physical strength but also avoid the risk of obesity in the future.

In addition, judging from the Air Force's breakfast, the calorie content is close to 800 calories. Although men need 2400 to 3000 calories a day, about 800 calories for breakfast is within the allowable range. However, the problem is that the nutrition is unbalanced.

Nutritionist Zhao Hanying shared her own experience in weight loss clinic cases. Some professional soldiers joined the army in their 20s. Because they were able to work, they were unlikely to have obesity problems if they ate this way. However, if they continued to eat this way, as their workload decreased when they approached 30 years old, they were prone to metabolic decline and obesity problems. Their weight increased from 65 kg to 70 kg to 80 kg, or even 100 kg, which is really worrying.

The following is a nutritionally balanced, non-fat and healthy breakfast recommended by nutritionist Zhao Hanying to soldiers: sweet potatoes, pumpkin, oats, eggs, soy milk, or a hearty combination: vegetable cheese omelette, nut oatmeal soy milk, meat steak, egg and vegetable burger, and seasonal fruits.
