When it comes to "junk food," you probably have a list in your head of burgers, fries, candy, cola, fried snacks, and more. So, what exactly is "junk food"?
The information explains that junk food refers to unhealthy food. The unhealthy foods suggested by the World Health Organization are presented in a comparative way, such as a diet high in energy, sugar and fat that is unhealthy compared to a low-energy diet such as fruits or vegetables. In fact, there is no concept of "junk food" in China's nutrition community, which is a folk convention. The reason why we are so concerned about "junk food" is because of concerns about the relationship between food nutrition and health.
The name of Hamburg** is derived from "German Hamburg". In China, in the early days, it may be processed with poor-quality meat (such as leftovers), which is called "hamburger patty", and there is the original "junk food". So, are burgers nutritious?Is it healthy or not?There are two factions here.
Red Fang: There are meats, vegetables, staple foods, and nutrition!
Blue Formula: High in oil, high fat, high energy, unhealthy!
We use the most common chicken thigh burger as an example for nutritional analysis. The energy and protein content of the single-layer burger is acceptable, and there is a certain staple food base, but the fat content is high (fat intake accounts for 35% of the recommended daily intake), and dietary fiber, vitamin A and vitamin C are relatively scarce. Relevant information recommends that each person should consume 300 500g of vegetables per day, and the amount of vegetables in burgers is often less than 20g. However, if the burger is used as a meal, accompanied by a slice of whole wheat bread and a vegetable salad with less sauce, it not only makes up for the disadvantages of the hamburger's lack of vitamins and dietary fiber, but also reduces the energy supply ratio of fat, which is the charm of a nutritious and balanced diet. If you are greedy for convenience and order a burger with fries and coke, you will not only lose the opportunity to eat with a healthy diet, but also show that you are still limited to the thinking of "garbage matching".
The main argument for saying that burgers are unhealthy is the 10 recommendations for cancer prevention in the World Association for Cancer Research** in Food, Nutrition, Physical Activity and Cancer Prevention, one of which states to "limit the intake of foods with high energy density", which mentions burgers. This recommendation is mainly aimed at preventing and controlling weight gain, overweight and obesity.
Burgers are high in fat, mainly because the patties (chicken, beef, etc.) in burgers are mostly fried or grilled. If you categorically turn it away because of this, you won't be able to eat a lot of things, such as mouth-watering sweet and sour tenderloin, crispy duck, etc.!It's not that fried food can't be eaten, it's that you should eat it less. In fact, improving the cooking method can solve this problem, and many businesses are doing the same now.
Is Hamburg really good-for-nothing?It's easy to get and makes burgers a great food for those who need a boost of energy and protein. When you are hungry, eat a burger and your happiness will "burst". At this time, there are unfriendly voices - hamburgers are high in energy, do you gain weight after eating?In fact, it is more important to focus on the total energy intake of a particular food than to delve into the energy of a particular food. Moreover, even if you choose foods with low energy, if you consume a large amount of energy, you will naturally have more energy and you will still gain weight. Different people have different nutritional needs, tall, short, fat and thin, and the angle of nutritional intake is also different. From the perspective of a balanced diet, burgers can also be included as part of a normal diet.
The food is not good or bad, the key is the matching!"Junk food pairing" is the original sin, stop thinking of burgers as "junk food"!
