The foods you think you won’t gain weight from eating are actually “calorie bombs” hidden in your life

When it comes to "high calories", everyone immediately thinks of fried chicken, hamburgers, French fries, cakes... In this era when almost everyone is losing weight, most people will consciously try to eat less or no these foods.

However, do you know that there are many "calorie bombs" hidden on our dining table? Some foods that have always been mistakenly believed to be low in calories and safe to eat are actually quietly making you fat.

Have you ever fallen into any of the following traps?

01

Fat-reducing meals with various sauces

How can you lose weight without various fat-reducing meals? Lettuce, cucumber, tomato, fruit, boiled prawns, boiled chicken, or beef and other foods can be randomly combined together, add some soul sauce, mix them together, and they all taste good.

The ingredients are indeed low in fat and high in protein, which meets the needs of weight loss, but the problem lies in the sauces - like common salad dressing, the calorie content is as high as 800 kcal/100 g, which is 8 times that of lean beef; more importantly, salad dressing is mostly made by mixing vegetable oil and egg yolks, with an oil content of about 80%. Excessive intake can easily lead to increased triglycerides.

In addition, the chili oil currently sold on the market has about 870 calories per 100 grams, plus the sodium content is also very high. If you want to lose weight, you really can't afford to eat it every day or every meal.

Therefore, those who eat fat-reducing meals should be careful and try to stay away from high-calorie sauces such as salad dressing, mayonnaise, sesame paste, and chili sauce . It is recommended to use vinaigrette, lemon juice, black pepper, sugar-free yogurt, etc. instead.

02

The wrong choice of ingredients for salad

As the weather gets hotter, the popularity of cold dishes skyrocketed. Not only are they refreshing and delicious, but they also give people the feeling that they won’t get fat after eating them.

Indeed, if you eat low-calorie foods such as mixed cucumbers and mixed carrots, it can help you lose weight, but if you don’t choose the right ingredients, you will get fatter and fatter! Take a look at the following high-calorie ingredients. Do you often use them in your salads?

1. Bean curd sticks and tofu skin

We recommend that you pay attention to the intake of soybeans and their products, such as soy milk, tofu, dried tofu, etc., but bean curd skin and tofu skin are not recommended. 100 g of tofu skin has 447 calories, and 100 g of bean curd skin has 457 calories. You should know that 100 g of lean meat has only 143 calories.

2. Peanuts

Many cold dishes like to sprinkle a handful of peanuts, which makes them taste very fragrant. However, peanuts can be used to extract oil, so you can imagine the oil content and the calories are naturally not low.

The calories in every 100 g of peanuts are about 313 kcal, while the calories in every 100 g of rice are only 116 kcal.

3. Jelly

In addition to vegetables, many people will also add an extra portion of cold skin or jelly, but this actually has more calories than rice.

Every 100 grams of cold noodles contains 117 calories, which is about the same as the calories in rice; but in terms of nutritional value, jelly snacks have the lowest.

Because most of the protein has to be removed during starch processing, and most of the soluble B vitamins and minerals such as potassium are lost during the starch washing process, what remains is almost pure starch.

Moreover, when we eat cold skin and cold noodles, we usually eat more due to the stimulation of the taste buds by the seasoning (a bowl of rice is only about 150 grams, and a serving of cold skin or cold noodles is usually about 300 grams), and the energy intake is often more.

03

Some flavored yogurt

Speaking of yogurt, I believe that many people who want to lose weight love it very much. Not only is it rich in calcium, but the probiotics it contains can also promote the digestion and absorption of food, help speed up gastrointestinal motility, and remove intestinal waste.

But not all yogurt helps to lose weight. Flavored yogurt and flavored fermented milk mostly contain a lot of sugar, and the sugar content is generally 8%-14%. They even contain ingredients such as cream. Drinking more of them will make you gain weight.

Therefore, when buying yogurt, pay attention to the nutritional label and try to choose yogurt with fewer additives and lower energy, fat and carbohydrate content.

04

Fragrant and crunchy mixed oatmeal

Oats have a strong sense of satiety and a low glycemic index, making them a favorite weight-loss food for many people. However, many oatmeals on the market now contain mixed nuts, dried fruits, corn flakes, etc., and are even puffed, containing saccharin and trans fatty acids ... Not only are nutrients lost, but the calories, sugars, and fats are all frighteningly high!

Therefore, if you want to use oats to lose weight, it is best to choose pure oatmeal.

05

Chicken feet that taste meatless

Braised chicken feet, pickled pepper chicken feet, lemon chicken feet, etc. are all very suitable as side dishes or snacks. Although chicken feet don't have much meat, the calories are more than twice that of chicken breast!

Generally, one chicken foot weighs about 50 g, with 60% of the edible part and about 76 kcal of calories. In other words, eating four chicken feet (304 kcal) is equivalent to eating two small bowls of rice (about 260 g).

Moreover, the salt content in cooked products such as lemon chicken feet and braised chicken feet sold outside is usually not low. Eating too much can easily lead to excessive sodium intake, which can easily affect blood pressure and blood vessel health.

Don't think that eating chicken feet can beautify you. Although the protein in chicken feet is collagen, its utilization rate is poor after eating, and it is difficult to achieve the effect of beautifying your skin. On the contrary, eating too much will make you fat.

06

Sweet coconut meat

In the hot summer, a glass of cold coconut milk or coconut jelly is very refreshing.

Many people think that coconut water is low in calories, so coconut meat is also low in calories. You are totally wrong! Every 100 grams of fresh coconut meat contains 354 kcal. If you want to burn off these calories, you need to jog for 40 minutes, ride a bike for 50 minutes, or walk for 90 minutes. So it is recommended that you drink more coconut water and eat less coconut meat.

For those who want to lose weight, or those who have three highs or vascular problems, they should pay more attention to their daily diet and try to eat less of the above-mentioned "calorie bombs".
