The Mid-Autumn moon is round, the mooncakes are round, and the face is even rounder. How fat are the mooncakes? According to a survey conducted by the National Health Administration, a small, unremarkable double-yolk Cantonese mooncake contains over 800 calories. If you eat it with a greedy mouth, it is like eating a braised chicken leg bento. You need to jog for 85 minutes non-stop to burn it off. If you eat one every day during the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday, you will gain half a kilogram of weight.

Mooncake Calorie Champion Double Yolk Cantonese Mooncake 800 calories

Delicious double yolk Cantonese mooncake. Don’t be fooled by its small size, it is a surprisingly calorie bomb! According to a mooncake calorie survey released by the National Health Administration on the eve of the Mid-Autumn Festival, they selected double yolk Cantonese mooncakes, walnut pineapple mooncakes, braised pork and mung bean mooncakes, reduced-oil mung bean mooncakes, ice cream mooncakes, persimmon ice cream mooncakes, egg yolk cakes, Suzhou-style mooncakes, pineapple cakes, etc. It was found that the double yolk Cantonese mooncake weighing about 185 calories had a maximum calorie content of 800 calories, which is equivalent to a braised chicken leg bento.

For a 60kg adult, if he wants to burn off the double yolk Cantonese mooncake, he needs to maintain a speed of 4 km/h for 180 minutes. If he switches to jogging, he needs to maintain a speed of 8.7 km/h for 85 minutes.

For those who don’t like exercise, if they eat one every day and eat it for 4 consecutive days starting from the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday, due to lack of exercise and no additional metabolism, they may gain half a kilogram of weight, which is quite amazing! And because it contains salted egg yolks, the cholesterol content is not low, so eating too much may increase the burden on the body for patients with chronic diseases.

Walnut and pineapple Cantonese mooncakes are hot on the heels

The survey shows that the top 6 mooncakes with more than 300 calories are ranked as follows: the champion is the Cantonese mooncake with double egg yolks at 800 calories, followed by walnut and pineapple mooncake at 662 calories, braised pork and mung bean mooncake at 420 calories, ice cream mooncake at 343 calories, and black bean paste and egg yolk mooncake at 314 calories. Even the mung bean mooncake with reduced oil still has 301 calories, which should not be ignored!

The National Health Administration recommends that when choosing mooncakes for friends and family during the Mid-Autumn Festival, it is important to remember to choose ones that are low in calories, low in cholesterol, and zero in trans fat, and to share them with others rather than enjoying them alone, so that after the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday, even Chang'e will laugh at you for being fat.
