Bomb on the grill! 4 slices of Tempura = 1 bowl of rice

Barbecuing during the Mid-Autumn Festival when the moon is full. Has your face become rounder as you eat? Whenever we have a barbecue reunion, there are always a lot of rich ingredients, and we often eat a lot of calories without realizing it. For example, corn, sweet potato, tempura, and pig blood cake are all starches, which are the four calorie bombs on the baking tray. Eating four slices of tempura is equivalent to the calories of a bowl of rice!

Whenever we have a barbecue party, there are always a lot of rich ingredients, and we often eat a lot of calories without realizing it.

Ideal combination, vegetables to meat 2:1

Nutritionist Zhao Hanying pointed out that when barbecuing, there are many ingredients on the grill pan, and people often eat a little of this and a little of that, feeling that their stomachs are not full yet, but in fact they have already consumed a very high amount of calories. Corn, sweet potatoes, tempura, and pig blood cake that are common in barbecue are high-calorie starches. One corn, which is about the length of three adult middle fingers, has the same calories as one bowl of rice.

If you want to grill meat and eat healthily, the ideal combination is a 2:1 ratio of vegetables to meat. Vegetables include mushrooms, leafy vegetables, and fruits; meat, eggs, and seafood are classified into one category. Nutritionist Zhao Hanying suggests that eating plenty of vegetables is definitely an important principle for grilling meat without gaining weight. Wrap the meat with leafy vegetables instead of sandwiching it with toast. When grilling chicken, you can also use pineapple, green pepper, and onion to make meat skewers, which tastes refreshing and healthy.

Eat barbecue healthily and make your own sauce

Another calorie bomb when grilling is the sauce. Most commercially available sauces are high in sodium, which can easily burden the body. In addition, sauces are generally thickened with starch. On average, each time you apply barbecue sauce, the sauce will increase by 15 calories. If you want to add flavor to the barbecue, nutritionist Zhao Hanying recommends making your own sauce. The following is a recipe for Japanese-style barbecue sauce.

Most commercially available sauces are high in sodium, which can easily burden the body. On average, every time you apply barbecue sauce, the barbecue sauce will increase by 15 calories.

Healthy Japanese BBQ Sauce

Ingredients: Japanese light salt soy sauce (or white soy sauce), basil, garlic, onion, grated white radish, lemon juice (or fruit vinegar, mirin)

practice:

1. Take 1 tablespoon of light salt soy sauce

2. Chop basil, garlic and onion and set aside

3. Add the chopped ingredients to the soy sauce according to your personal preference

4. Add appropriate amount of white radish paste and lemon juice to enhance the flavor

[Nutritionist's reminder]:

This sauce tastes refreshing and has no burden. If you want to increase the sweetness, you can add a little brown sugar. You can also add chili powder or five-spice powder to enhance the flavor according to your personal taste. However, it is not recommended to use commercially available chili sauce or cream. In addition, soy sauce, mirin, onions, and minced garlic can also be used as marinade for meat slices, so there is no need to apply barbecue sauce when grilling meat.

Nutritionist Zhao Hanying suggested that due to the joyful atmosphere of Mid-Autumn barbecue, many people will inevitably eat too much, but as long as you remember to eat plenty of vegetables and make your own healthy barbecue sauce, Mid-Autumn barbecue can also be very healthy. In addition, as for beverages, you should still drink less sugary drinks and alcohol. The most important thing after eating barbecue is to drink plenty of water. You can also add lemon slices or fruit vinegar to the water to relieve greasiness and aid digestion.
