Nourish your health ≠ replenish fat, eat meat wisely without getting fat stuck

"The weather is so cold, let's go eat mutton hotpot after get off work!" Whenever the temperature turns cooler, office workers' desire to eat hotpot and medicinal hotpot is always tempted. As soon as the pot is opened, they will directly boil and cook all kinds of meat. They can't live without meat.

Meat slices are indispensable for hot pot. The calories and cholesterol they contain vary depending on the type and part of the meat.

Meat is rich in protein, which has the function of regulating physiological functions and promoting muscle formation. It is an important nutrient for people who want to lose weight and maintain their weight. However, the amount of fat and cholesterol contained in many meat products should not be underestimated. Excessive intake will increase the risk of obesity and metabolic syndrome.

There is an order for eating meat: fish → chicken, duck, goose → pig, sheep, and beef

Nutritionist Liu Wenzhang said that if analyzed by meat type, it is recommended that people give priority to fish when eating medicinal hotpot or hotpot. Both deep-sea fish and freshwater fish are fine. Fish are low in fat, calories and cholesterol, which can not only reduce the risk of obesity, but also rich in fish oil containing a large amount of Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids EPA and DHA, which also have health benefits such as reducing inflammation and protecting the cardiovascular system.

Secondly, you can choose poultry such as chicken, duck, and goose. This type of white meat is low in fat and cholesterol. Finally, most people would choose pork, lamb, beef and other livestock meat ingredients, but this type of red meat is medium-high in fat and cholesterol. Many studies have confirmed that excessive intake of red meat in the diet will increase the risk of colorectal cancer and breast cancer.

Don’t step on the meat oil landmine! 225 calories per bowl of lamb

Nutritionist Liu Wenzhang reminds that for the sake of health, when cooking hot pot or medicinal hot pot, be sure to avoid adding offal ingredients to avoid consuming too much bad cholesterol. In addition, in terms of calories, if a normal adult consumes 1,800 calories per day, each meal consumes about 600 calories. After deducting 280 calories from a bowl of rice and 60 calories from a portion of fruit, the calories from other food ingredients including beans, fish, meat, eggs, vegetables, etc., only 260 calories are left to be replenished.

It should be noted that the mutton hotpot that many people love to eat is stewed with mutton with skin, and the fat secretion of the mutton itself is evenly distributed. Every bowl of it is equivalent to eating 3 servings of mutton, with a calorie content of about 225 calories. Each portion of lamb is about the length, width and thickness of your index, middle and ring fingers put together.

The calories in beef belly are amazing. The calories in 3 hotpot slices are about half a bowl of rice.

Nutritionist Liu Wenzhang said that fish meat has less fat and is low-fat meat, while poultry and livestock meat has different fat distribution and parts. Each serving of medium-fat meat has about 55 calories, and high-fat meat has about 75 calories. Medium-fat meat ingredients, such as pork tenderloin, chicken breast, skinless chicken thighs, etc.; high-fat meat ingredients, such as lamb with skin, pork front and back legs (contains a lot of hidden fat, so it is high in calories) and pork belly, etc.

As for the beef that many people must order when eating hot pot, nutritionists especially remind those who are trying to lose weight to stay away from beef belly. Although its rich and evenly distributed fat tastes smooth, it is full of animal saturated fatty acids and has an astonishing calorie content. Just 2 to 3 slices of the common beef belly hot pot slices have as much as 135 calories, which is similar to half a bowl of rice (140 calories) and a pork drumstick with skin (135 to 150 calories). The calories in skinless tuna tartare are only 55 calories.
