Carnivores, come here! Nutritionists teach you how to choose the right parts of your body to avoid getting fat

Meat is not only delicious, but also one of the important sources of protein for the human body! However, if you just eat meat without paying attention to the selection of meat parts and cooking methods before eating, you may swallow the fat and calories as well. Not only will you gain weight by eating meat, you may even unintentionally fill your stomach with fat, so be careful!

Faced with a wide variety of meat types, how should we choose so as not to accidentally step on the calorie mine? Nutritionist Gao Ruimin said that in fact, as long as you wisely choose the "parts" with lower calories and cook them in a simple way that is close to the original flavor of the ingredients, you can significantly reduce your calorie intake and eat healthily and happily!

Let me tell you the calories in chicken, pork and beef! Smart choices reduce the burden on the body

In order to let everyone have a better understanding of the calorie content of various meat parts, nutritionist Gao Ruimin has compiled and summarized the calorie table for everyone's reference based on the different parts of chicken, pork and beef, the three most commonly encountered meats in daily life, from the Food Nutrition Composition Database of the Ministry of Health and Welfare (2015 edition):

You can’t just eat meat to supplement your protein! Balanced intake is healthier

In addition to explaining the calories in each part of chicken, pork and beef, nutritionist Gao Ruimin emphasized that although meat does help the human body replenish protein. However, from a nutritional point of view, protein cannot be obtained solely by eating meat.

In fact, according to the National Health Administration's daily dietary guidelines, the human body's protein sources should be balanced from beans, fish, meat, and eggs (both animal and plant proteins should be taken into account), and should be limited to 3 to 8 servings (one palm for women is approximately equal to 3 to 4 servings; one palm for men is approximately equal to 4 to 5 servings).

Prevent the increase of triglycerides and bad cholesterol! No worries when cooking meat like this

In addition, to prevent the human body from consuming too much saturated fatty acids, which will increase the levels of triglycerides and bad cholesterol (LDL) in the blood and affect cardiovascular health. Nutritionist Gao Ruimin reminds the public that the ratio of red meat to white meat should be moderate for better safety. Especially those who suffer from three highs and those who need to lose weight should reduce their intake of red meat to avoid increasing the burden on the body.

At the same time, avoid cooking methods such as frying, over-processing, and dipping in sauces. Instead, use roasting, frying, and steaming methods, and combine it with dietary fiber intake. This will not only help reduce calorie and fat intake and avoid obesity, but it will also help to consolidate cardiovascular health!
