Lunch introduction:

Lunch (also known as lunch, Chinese food, lunch, etc.) refers to a meal that is eaten around noon or some time later, usually from 1 pm to 2 pm. In Chinese mainland, lunch is usually served for two hours from 11 am to 1 pm.

People think that Chinese food is the most important meal in a day, and it is also the main supplement of food and energy. There is a saying that "breakfast is good, Chinese food is full, and dinner is less".

Scientific collocation:

As the saying goes, "full at noon, full all day." Explain that lunch is the main meal of the day. Because the body consumes a lot of heat in the morning, it is necessary to continue to work and study in the afternoon. Therefore, people of different ages and different physical strengths should account for 40% of the total calories they need every day.

The staple food should be about150 ~ 200g according to the food intake of three meals, and you can choose between rice and flour products (steamed bread, noodles, big cakes, cornmeal cakes, etc.). Non-staple food is about 240 ~ 360 grams to meet the needs of human body for inorganic salts and vitamins.

There are many kinds of non-staple food, such as meat, eggs, milk, poultry, bean products, seafood, vegetables, etc. According to the principle of scientific catering, several kinds are selected and eaten together.

Generally, it is advisable to choose 50 ~100g of meat, poultry and eggs, 50g of bean products and 200 ~ 250g of vegetables, that is, to eat some fried dishes that can resist hunger and produce high calories, so as to keep the blood sugar in the body at a high level, thus ensuring the work and study in the afternoon.

However, having a full stomach at noon does not mean overeating. Generally, you can eat until you are eight or nine minutes full. If the white-collar workers have less labor, when choosing lunch, they can choose some simple boiled stem vegetables, a little white tofu and some seafood plants as lunch collocation.

Green leafy vegetables:

In order to ensure sufficient energy for lunch, foods containing protein, vitamins and minerals are essential. Half an hour before lunch, you'd better eat some fruit. Rice is the best staple food. If you add soy products containing high-quality plant protein, the nutrition will be more comprehensive. Among vegetables, loofah and lotus root contain more cellulose;

In addition, you can also choose celery, mushrooms, radishes and so on. When cooking, just fry the vegetables until they are six or seven minutes cooked, so as to prevent further damage to their nutrients when heated by microwave. Try to choose meat dishes with less fat, such as beef and chicken. After dinner, it is best to drink some yogurt to promote digestion.
