The 10 worst lunch combos: American food

Modern people are busy at work during the day, so they eat out for lunch because it is convenient and fast. Because of this, "health" is not the primary consideration. You may find that you consume a lot of calories and bad cholesterol, especially American food. The American health website EYPK has compiled the 10 worst lunch combinations for the public. The more you eat, the worse your health will be.

1. Fast food burgers and fries

The bread of the burger itself is not too bad, but adding high-salt, high-fat ground meat patties, a few pieces of cheese, and then a side of French fries and a cup of Coke to quench your thirst, not only does it have a lot of calories, it may also bring cardiovascular burden, especially in the afternoon, when the high glycemic index will ruin your work efficiency.

2. Convenience store pre-made sandwiches

Sandwiches and triangular rice balls are the convenient lunch choices for many people, but you may have overlooked the preservatives that must be added from the production to the "expiration date" marked on the label. Perhaps before you walk into a convenience store to pick a sandwich next time, you can go to a fast food restaurant that makes and sells freshly made food and choose a vegetable sandwich, which is healthier.

3. Muffins

Buying a cream muffin and a cup of latte is delicious and convenient, but the flour, sugar, butter, etc. used to make muffins may cause the blood sugar index to soar, and the sugar content in baked goods and latte is even more terrifying, which is undoubtedly a nightmare for weight loss.

4. Baked potatoes

Potatoes are starchy foods that can replenish energy for the body, but the calories from baking and the glycemic effect of whole starch may make you feel inattentive and drowsy throughout the afternoon.

5. Cheese and Crackers

Cheese can supplement protein, but biscuits are processed foods. The calories of the fascinating and delicious handmade biscuits are generally high, just like their price. If you really want to choose biscuits, whole wheat, buckwheat, and sesame flavors are better choices.

6. Microwave food

Microwaved pasta, meat, etc. are often added with strong seasonings. Although they are delicious, they also contain too much salt and chemical processing agents. In addition, you never know how much harmful substances will be released from the plastic packaging after being microwaved.

7. Take-away pizza

A small slice of takeout pizza, even if it is vegetable flavored, may still have more than 400 calories, which come from the butter and starch used in baking, plus the cheese that is necessary to increase the taste. It tastes full of happiness, but it may disappear instantly when you stand on the scale.

8. Bagels

The starch and sugar content of bagels is similar to all the aforementioned American foods. The most important thing is that because it is relatively small, you will definitely eat more than two. If you really want to eat, a whole wheat sugar-free bagel is a better choice.

9. Energy bars

Energy bars are one of the favorite foods of Americans. Many people even eat them after exercise. They contain high levels of fructose, starch and fat, and you may feel hungry within two hours after eating them.

10. Smoothies

With beverage shops everywhere, people have a poor appetite during the hot summer lunch break. Many people think that a fruit smoothie can cool them down and replenish the nutrition of the fruit. Maybe it is healthier than hamburgers and French fries, but smoothies not only easily cause hunger and lack the original fiber of fruits, but the high unit sugar content will definitely make the calories increase faster than the monthly salary!
