New ways to eat moon-viewing dishes: adding fruits and vegetables to dishes to prevent obesity

As the trend of health preservation and energy conservation and environmental protection prevails, more and more people are abandoning the traditional Mid-Autumn Festival habits and replacing charcoal barbecue with low-oil, baking and frying methods. However, faced with the "moon-viewing cuisine" with similar dishes every year, children complain about the lack of freshness and mothers are helpless. Therefore, nutritionists have designed a set of Western-style seasonal delicacies that are delicious and more importantly, one serving has only 667 calories, which takes into account nutrition without having to worry about constipation and obesity!

This set of Western-style Mid-Autumn Festival dishes, designed by Yang Wenqing, a nutritionist at Taichung Veterans General Hospital, uses a household electric oven instead of direct charcoal grilling to reduce the production of carcinogens. In addition to fish and meat, it is paired with a large amount of high-fiber, colorful fruits and vegetables to increase satiety, help intestinal peristalsis, and prevent constipation.
