Take 1 zongzi as an example. If pork, mushrooms, raisins, shrimp skin, egg yolk, peanuts and other fillings are included, the heat is about 500-650 calories. 1 small halogen jiaozi, and the heat is also 120 kcal; People often like to eat meat zongzi, and the calories are about 200-250 kcal, so the calories of eating 1 zongzi are often much higher than those of eating a bowl of rice. According to experts on healthy eating, the main difference between the cooking time of zongzi lies in whether the stuffing and rice are fried. Therefore, friends who are afraid of being fat should pay enough attention!
