Can you eat chestnut during weight loss?
Yes, but don't exceed ten chestnuts a day. The starch content of chestnut is very high. The carbohydrate content of dry chestnut is 77%, which is equivalent to 75% of grain, and the fresh chestnut is as much as 40%.

Try to avoid eating chestnuts at night, especially before going to bed. At night, the digestive function of the stomach is weakened. If you eat chestnuts, it will take a long time to digest, and it is likely to become fat accumulation.

Chestnut is rich in unsaturated fatty acids, vitamins and minerals, which can prevent and treat diseases such as hypertension, coronary heart disease, arteriosclerosis and osteoporosis, and is a nourishing product for anti-aging and prolonging life.

Extended data:

The endothelium of chestnut is edible, but it is generally not recommended. The inner skin of chestnut is a layer of velvet, so it may affect the respiratory tract, especially for people who are prone to cough or have throat diseases. It is best to remove the inner skin before eating.

The nutritional value of chestnut mainly lies in chestnut meat itself, which has a good effect on gastrointestinal health, qi and blood health, and also has a good effect on the prevention and treatment of coronary heart disease and hypertension.

However, the hairy endothelium of chestnut can be used to treat scrofula (similar to sores, which are infectious) after mashing, and it can be used to treat fishbone stuck in throat when burned to ashes, which is also of certain value in medicine.
