Lose weight easily by eating out and choosing the right braised food can also help you lose weight

When it comes to losing weight, everyone knows that you should eat lighter food. But besides boiling or blanching food yourself, is there any way to make a weight loss diet both easy and low in calories? In the hot summer, "braised food" can be said to be a very convenient and nutritionally balanced light meal option!

Understanding the food categories at braised food stalls

The reason why we say that braised food is a nutritionally balanced dietary choice is that it contains staple foods, meat, and vegetables. If you choose each type of food in a balanced way, you can take into account the principle of nutritional balance in your diet. Its cooking method requires less oil, and a large amount of vegetables can be consumed. Therefore, with appropriate intake, you can easily take into account the two key points of dietary nutrition and low calories.

* Common staple foods: glass noodles, ramen, prince noodles, pig blood cake, taro cake and glutinous rice intestines, etc.

* Common meat foods: beef tendon, chicken liver, chicken gizzard, chicken heart, chicken drumstick, chicken wing; bean curd, large black tofu, small tofu, vegetarian chicken, fried tofu skin, dried orchid; black round, tempura, meatballs, squid balls; pig skin and pig intestines, etc.

＊Vegetables: cabbage, Qingjiang vegetable, mainland girl, broccoli, shiitake mushrooms, enoki mushrooms, braised kelp, etc.

How to Eat Healthy Braised Food to Stay Slim

@Choose ingredients carefully

First of all, of course, we have to choose the ingredients. It is recommended to choose ingredients with lower fat, such as tofu and dried tofu, and less soy products such as fried bean curd skin and fried dried orchid. Choose lean meat such as beef tendon and chicken legs, and less high-fat ingredients such as pig intestines, pig skin, chicken feet or chicken butts. For staple foods, choose more fresh ingredients such as vermicelli and ramen, and less starchy foods with high fat content such as glutinous rice large intestine and prince noodles.

＠Intake in moderation

Secondly, you should consume various foods in moderation. You can choose corresponding foods according to the calorie content of your own diet. For example, if your plan is to consume 3 servings of staple food and 2 servings of meat at each meal, you can choose foods that can satisfy 3 servings of staple food from the staple food category, and foods that can satisfy 2 servings of meat from the meat category. As for vegetables, their calories are very low and can be ignored. Therefore, you can choose 1 to 3 kinds to eat according to your personal preference and degree of satiety. Then, after the boss finishes cooking, please ask him not to add high-fat seasonings such as sesame oil.

If you don't know how to calculate portion sizes, as long as you follow the principle of choosing one staple food, one type of meat, and 1 to 3 types of vegetables, you can easily control the calories between 250 and 500 calories. (Note: You should know that braised food actually contains oil, and vegetables contain about 25 calories per 100 grams. Therefore, although braised food is a low-calorie food, it is very important to consume it in moderation).

In addition, you can buy a sugar-free drink, such as a sugar-free green tea or black tea at a bubble tea shop, or a zero-calorie cola at a convenience store. This can increase your sense of fullness and replenish water and act as a diuretic to make up for the high salt content of food at the braised food stalls.
