1 First of all, learn to choose moon cakes and styles

Generally speaking, Cantonese moon cakes are heavy in sugar, Soviet moon cakes are heavy in oil, and iced moon cakes are relatively low in oil and sugar.

fat content: Soviet style > Guangdong style > Ice skin.

sugar content: Guangdong style > Ice skin > Soviet style.

In terms of calories, the calories of Cantonese-style and Su-style moon cakes are similar, but the relative calories of ice crust are lower.

2. Choose fillings

Mooncakes with bean paste and fruit flavors have relatively low calories, while those with five kernels and egg yolk are much higher. Moon cakes are made up of high-calorie foods such as flour, sugar and cooking oil, so it is better to eat less.

3. Size

A traditional moon cake is about 12 grams, which has amazing calories. But now, in order to cater to the tastes of modern people, merchants launch small moon cakes. Eating small moon cakes will definitely have less calories than eating big moon cakes, but if you want to eat big moon cakes, you can share them with your family, so that you can taste multiple moon cakes and consume less calories.

4. It is best to eat with fresh vegetables and fruits.

It is recommended that the daily intake of moon cakes should not exceed 1g for the general population. You can eat moon cakes with cereals as the staple food of a meal, and eat them with fresh vegetables and fruits, so that the calories of a day are easier to control.

5. Don't eat more than one meal a day

One person's daily sugar intake should not exceed 1 teaspoons and fat should not exceed 13 teaspoons. Basically, eating a moon cake will soon exceed the standard. Even sugar-free moon cakes or vegetarian moon cakes filled with fruits and vegetables should not be eaten more. Because the skin contains starch, which is itself polysaccharide, excessive consumption will lead to bloating, indigestion and even diarrhea in severe cases! Therefore, eating moon cakes should be moderate, and it is recommended to eat at most one moon cake a day.

6. Sweet moon cakes+drinking digestive tea

For example, sweet moon cakes such as jujube paste, red bean paste, lotus seed paste and pineapple cake.

Sweet moon cakes should drink tea that helps digestion. Light green tea and mint tea can promote glucose metabolism and prevent excessive sugar from staying in the body. The coolness of mint can also sweep away the sweetness in your mouth. The water temperature for making green tea should be 7? Below, otherwise it is easy to destroy its rich vitamin C and catechins.

6. Incorporate mooncakes into breakfast

Mooncakes are high-energy foods. Many young people don't eat breakfast or don't get enough breakfast. They might as well eat mooncakes for breakfast. Besides eating a mooncake, they can also drink a box of milk or soybean milk and add some vegetables and fruits to make a good breakfast. However, it is recommended that you don't eat them this way for a long time.

Tips

The best time to eat moon cakes

It is a good time to eat moon cakes in the morning or at noon. It is best not to eat moon cakes at night, especially for the elderly and children, which can easily cause gastrointestinal problems such as indigestion and bloating, and it is difficult to digest fat, which will lead to abdominal accumulation. In severe cases, it will lead to blood coagulation and thrombosis.

Pay attention to the diet when eating moon cakes.

Moon cakes should not be eaten with high-sugar fruits, such as apples and watermelons, or with soft drinks, because the content of sugar and spices in soft drinks is also high, so patients with diabetes, hyperlipidemia and nephritis should be careful.

moon cakes should not be eaten with porridge. Both moon cakes and porridge are foods with high glycemic index, which are not only uncomfortable for patients with abnormal blood sugar or diabetes, but also harmful to brain cells for healthy people, and also reduce fat metabolism, leading to problems in lipolysis.

moon cakes are best eaten with green tea, which helps to promote digestion, relieve greasy and accelerate fat decomposition.

when eating moon cakes, eat more fruits rich in vitamin c and cellulose, such as grapefruit and kiwi fruit, and supplement dietary fiber, which is helpful for intestinal digestion.

Sugar-free moon cakes also have sugar

"Sugar-free" moon cakes should not be eaten without restraint. Because the concept of "sugar-free" moon cakes is that sucrose is not added, but it does not rule out other sugar components. Mooncakes are high in calories, so they must not be unrestrained because they are sugar-free.

moon cakes should not be stored in the refrigerator

The starch in the raw materials of moon cakes becomes soft and delicate in taste after baking and ripening, but at low temperature, the cooked starch will separate out moisture and become aging, making the moon cakes hard and taste worse. Those moon cakes with less oil and water in the refrigerator will not only harden quickly, but also become moldy easily. Moon cakes within the shelf life can be stored at room temperature, just put them in a ventilated and dry place.
