Every Mid-Autumn Festival, I always receive a gift box of moon cakes, the contents of which are nothing more than moon cakes, egg yolk crisps and so on. Lai Baihong, a nutritionist at St. Martin's Hospital, pointed out that one of the common Cantonese-style moon cakes has about 800 calories. If converted into rice, it is about 3 bowls of rice; while one egg yolk pastry is nearly 240 calories, about 0.8 bowls. The calories of rice, combined with the high-fat and high-sugar fillings, are too heavy for an average healthy adult, let alone a patient with chronic diseases.
Nutritionist Lai Baihong reminds diabetics that before eating moon cakes, master the following 3 points in order to eat healthily and without burden:
The sugar content of 1 Cantonese-style moon cake is about 1 1/4 bowls of rice. It is recommended to reduce the amount of moon cakes, and reduce the amount of rice in the main meal to avoid excessive starch intake.
General moon cakes and egg yolk crisps are filled with high fat and sugar content. Recently, moon cakes with high-fiber ingredients such as sweet potatoes, pumpkins, and fruits have been launched on the market. It is recommended to choose these relatively healthy moon cakes. Avoid excessive intake of fats and sugars.
When tasting mooncakes, if paired with high-sugar beverages such as soft drinks and milk tea, it may increase the burden on the body. Satiety and avoid excessive intake.
Xu Xiuyuan, a nutritionist from the Nutrition Department of Taipei Tzu Chi Hospital, also analyzed the calories of moon cakes on the market. For example, the common fillings of mung bean and taro crisps are prepared with mung beans and taro, which are staple foods, and then baked with shallot crisps. Baked, so it contains high saturated fat and sugar, and the calories are about 3/4 bowl of rice; while the Taiwan oil skin mooncake is filled with salted duck egg yolk, and oil and sugar will be added to increase the smoothness of the taste. Small 1 One calorie is equal to 1 bowl of rice.
In addition, the pineapple cake has two kinds of fillings: winter melon and pineapple, but no matter the taste is sour or sweet, the sugar content should not be underestimated. The calories are about 190 calories, which is the same as 3/4 bowl of white rice. Most of the most popular Cantonese-style mooncakes contain double egg yolks, with an average of 800 calories, equivalent to 3 bowls of white rice, which is quite amazing!
Nutritionist Xu Xiuyuan reminds the public that when choosing moon cakes, "because there are many types of moon cakes, if you want to eat each flavor, you can cut moon cakes into small pieces and share them with relatives and friends, so as to avoid eating too much at one time and cause physical burden. After eating moon cakes, you should also reduce the amount of food for the next meal, and choose dishes with low oil and high fiber as much as possible, so that the calories do not exceed the standard.”
