5 slices of dried mango = half a bowl of rice! Don’t eat random snacks that make you fat

Do you eat snacks when you are bored at work, or watch TV and have snacks when you get home? Be careful, if you are eating sweet dried mango, just eating 5 small pieces (about 50 grams) is almost equivalent to the calories of half a bowl of white rice! Don’t think that dried fruits are necessarily healthier. Nutritionists remind you that some dried fruits are fried and then dehydrated, and are sprinkled with powdered sugar on the surface. Be careful not to gain weight the more you eat! It is recommended to eat the following 3 snacks instead. Staying in shape is not as difficult as you think!

Office workers are under a lot of pressure and it is inevitable that they will feel greedy. They really can’t stand not eating snacks! However, many snacks are small in size but have high calories. You may feel happy when you eat them, but feel sad when you weigh yourself at home. Nutritionist Cheng Xinyi from the Taiwan Cancer Foundation said that it is not that snacks are not forbidden, but we should remember to pay attention to the nutrition label on the package, calculate the total calories of each package, and whether it contains trans fats.

Don’t make the mistake of eating these 3 healthy and delicious snacks!

Recommended snack 1: Konjac

Snacks must be consumed in moderation and should not exceed 10% of daily calorie requirements. In addition to controlling the amount of food you eat, it is best to choose low-calorie snacks, such as zero-calorie jelly, dried konjac, and non-fried original seaweed. This will allow you to easily control calories without feeling too guilty.

Recommended snack 2: Nuts

Hazelnuts, walnuts, cashews, pistachios, sesame seeds, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds and other nuts have a crispy and delicious taste. They are perfect for eating when you are craving for something, and they have many health benefits. Nutritionist Cheng Xinyi said that nuts are rich in vitamin E, monounsaturated fatty acids and plant sterols, which help lower the "bad cholesterol" in the blood and reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.

Eat 1 to 2 servings of nuts as a snack every day, it’s delicious and healthy!

However, nuts are oils and fats, so it is recommended to eat 1 to 2 servings a day. One serving is about 7 to 8 grams, which is roughly equivalent to 2 walnuts, 8 cashews, 14 pistachios, 30 pumpkin seeds, etc. When buying, it is recommended to choose roasted nuts rather than honeyed or fried nuts.

It is recommended to use fresh fruits instead of dried fruits as snacks, as their original flavor is the most natural!

Recommended snack 3: Fruit

Many people like to eat dried fruits, which do not need to be washed or cut. They are convenient and delicious. However, nutritionist Joyce Cheng reminds us that many dried fruits are fried and even have sugar added to them, so you will consume too much fat and calories after eating just a few pieces.

Take dried mango for example, every 100 grams contains about 365 calories. A small piece of dried mango weighs about 10 grams and contains 36.5 calories, while a bowl of white rice contains about 366 calories. In other words, eating 5 small slices of dried mango is equivalent to the calories in half a bowl of rice, which is quite amazing! People are advised to eat fresh fruits instead of dried fruits as snacks, so that they can enjoy the original flavor and consume a lot of fiber, which can help them to have a slimmer body.
