As the Mid-Autumn Festival approaches, relatives and friends often give mooncake gift boxes in the workplace. From traditional mooncakes to all kinds of creative mooncakes in the market, people can't help but feast on them. Facing the temptation of mooncakes full of pits and valleys at reunion time, how can we enjoy them without getting fat? A traditional Cantonese-style moon cake with 8 calories =3 bowls of plain rice! Chief nutritionist Ye Yimiao, a consultant of Kanglian preventive medicine, pointed out that the raw materials of mooncakes are mostly made of flour, bean stuffing (red bean stuffing, mung bean stuffing, jujube paste stuffing, taro stuffing, etc.), cream, eggs, sugar and other ingredients. In order to make the crust crisp and the stuffing dense, traditional mooncakes usually add a lot of oil and sugar in the production process, and some mooncakes also add salted egg yolk to make the taste richer. Take a 185-gram Cantonese-style moon cake with double egg yolks as an example. The heat is close to 8 calories, and the heat of eating a Cantonese-style moon cake is equivalent to eating 3 bowls of rice! As for a 5-gram souffle, it's about 2 calories. Chief nutritionist Ye Yimiao said that eating a souffle is nearly the calories of a bowl of rice (about 28 calories), and the calories are surprisingly high! Chief Nutritionist Ye Yimiao further analyzed that while enjoying moon cakes, we should deduct the amount of staple foods for dinner, such as rice, pasta and starch, and reduce the amount of rice by 1/4 to half a bowl, so as to avoid taking too much sugar, and we should not neglect the fat and added sugar contained in moon cakes, so as to avoid the accumulation of excess calories and lead to obesity. It doesn't hurt to eat more healthy moon cakes? Nutritionist Ye Yimiao: It's still not appropriate to eat more moon cakes that are high in oil and sugar, so you can rest assured that you can have a big meal? I'm afraid the answer still disappoints the gourmets! Chief nutritionist Ye Yimiao, a consultant of Kanglian preventive medicine, pointed out that although low-sugar moon cakes are replaced by sugar substitutes or trehalose, although the sweetness is reduced, the crust and stuffing belong to starch, which will make blood sugar soar after being eaten in large quantities; High-fiber moon cakes are advertised as five kinds of dietary fiber to make the crust, but the stuffing is still traditional and adds a lot of sugar; "Ice-skinned moon cakes" use white oil, and the skin is made of cooked glutinous rice flour; "Steamed moon cakes" are steamed cakes, and starch chestnuts are often used instead of egg yolks. Chief Nutritionist Ye Yimiao reminded people not to look at the moon cakes with the words "low in oil", "low in sugar", "high in fiber" and "healthy" and just open their bellies and eat as much as they like. In fact, these moon cakes are still high in sugar and fat, and the calorie reduction is limited, so it is still not appropriate to eat too much. As the Mid-Autumn Festival approaches, relatives and friends often give mooncake gift boxes from time to time in the workplace.

Taboo groups of moon cakes: diabetes and kidney patients should not be high, and young and old people should eat less moon cakes. In addition to a lot of sugar and oil, traditional fillings also contain high-phosphorus ingredients such as longan, jujube paste, lotus seed paste, egg yolk and braised pork. Chief nutritionist Ye Yimiao specially reminded that diabetics and kidney patients should touch moon cakes less. For people with high blood sugar, high blood fat and high blood pressure, it is also necessary to carefully control the amount of moon cakes, because after these people eat moon cakes, their blood sugar, cholesterol and triglyceride are easy to rise further, and excessive consumption is more likely to cause physical burden. In addition, high-sugar and high-oil moon cakes are sweets, which naturally make stomach acid secrete more. If you add various indigestible fillings, it is easier to aggravate pantothenic acid in the stomach. For an old man with degraded digestive function and a young child with underdeveloped digestive function, it is recommended to eat less. In particular, the stomach function of babies under 3 years old has not developed well, so it is best not to eat moon cakes. Kanglian preventive medicine provides five tips for eating moon cakes and refusing to get fat. 1. Don't treat moon cakes as a meal * * * Don't treat moon cakes as a meal. After all, this is a refined cake with high oil and high sugar, not a balanced meal. It coincides with the Mid-Autumn Festival, so you can enjoy it to relieve your hunger. You can divide the moon cakes into small pieces and share them with your relatives and friends, or eat them several times, and you can eat 1/4 to 1/2 moon cakes at a time. Chief nutritionist Ye Yimiao also suggested that the purchase package should contain detailed "nutrition labels", so that you can record your food intake more clearly and simply through the nutrition components and calorie labels on the products. 2. Eating fresh moon cakes with less sugar and less oil for too long will lose its flavor, even if it is stored in the refrigerator, it will still deteriorate. It is best to eat it while it is fresh, and the storage time should not exceed 3 days. 3. With sugar-free tea, it helps to digest sugar-free tea with zero calories, which is more suitable than cola, coffee and other drinks. For example, soaking in a cup of sugar-free green tea can get rid of oil and greasy, improve metabolism and prevent too much sugar from staying in the body. The water temperature of soaking green tea should be below 7℃, otherwise it is easy to destroy its rich vitamin C and catechins. In addition, vinegar drink is also a good match for moon cakes, in which acetic acid can promote the dissolution of calcium, phosphorus, iron and other components in food, which is beneficial to the body's absorption of nutrients and has a good role in strengthening the spleen and stomach and helping digestion. 4. It is not advisable to eat moon cakes before going to bed between meals. It is best to eat moon cakes between meals. Eat less or no food at night, especially don't eat 2 hours before going to bed. In addition to enjoying the delicious moon cakes for Mid-Autumn Festival reunion, it is also recommended to mix with seasonal fruits to help digestion, such as grapefruit, persimmon, grapes, pitaya, etc. Among them, grapefruit is a fruit with high fiber and rich in vitamin C and pectin, and every 165 grams (equivalent to about two pieces) of grapefruit is equal to one fruit (about 6 calories). It is recommended to take two servings of fresh fruits every day, which will help to maintain beauty, promote gastrointestinal motility and promote the growth of beneficial bacteria in the intestine. In addition, during the Mid-Autumn Festival, relatives and friends should meet outside to enjoy the moon, take a walk to help consume excess calories, and sweat to improve metabolism and reduce the burden.
