Beware of vegetarian traps! These 4 kinds of vegetarian vegetables are high in oil and fat, and eating it is equivalent to drinking oil!

Many friends are already regretting eating and drinking in the new month? Did you secretly turn on grazing mode?

Although the table is still big fish and meat, I only eat vegetables!

But!

You may not know that these vegetables and vegetarian dishes that you usually eat may be quietly helping you grow meat and rise three highs...

01.

High starchy "vegetables"

Typical representation

Corn, potatoes, yams, lotus roots, legumes

First of all, we must popularize science with everyone, not all plants are vegetables!

From a nutritional point of view, "vegetables" are plants with only 5 grams of sugar in a 100-gram unit, which can be regarded as vegetables.

The starch content of potatoes, sweet potatoes, yams, lotus roots and other vegetables that most people think of as potatoes is nearly 5 times or more than that of ordinary vegetables. In the eyes of nutritionists, they are not really vegetables, because the starch content is too high, starch is a kind of sugar, calories can not be ignored, as a staple food is more appropriate.

And it is not difficult to find that these foods are easy to dehydrate and gelatinize sticky pans when cooking, in order to avoid this phenomenon, many people unconsciously add more oil, and this type of vegetable also has oil absorption characteristics, a mouthful of vegetables is a mouthful of oil.

Sugar friends should pay special attention, the doctor will also especially tell you to eat more vegetables to balance blood sugar, but do not ignore the high sugar content of these high-starch vegetables, in the case of mistakenly thinking that they are low-sugar vegetables to take too much, but will affect the control of blood sugar.

02.

Loose vegetables

Eggplant, tofu, okra

Eggplant is definitely the first place in vegetables to absorb oil, it is loose and porous, in the oil is like a sponge absorbing water, "eating oil" is amazing.

The skin of eggplant is relatively smooth, and when it first encounters high temperature grease, it will block the passage of grease and water vapor for a short time. The first few minutes of roasting the eggplant are actually not too absorbent. But as the epidermis continues to be heated and destroyed, the oil has the opportunity to enter the interior.

In the same way, if you cut everything before making eggplant, directly destroying the peel to expose the flesh, the easier it is to absorb oil. The more flesh is exposed, the faster the water in it evaporates and a lot of grease will enter.

Usually, the oil absorption rate of eggplant is about 14% to 17%, that is, almost a plate of eggplant (200 grams) can absorb about 30 grams of oil.

The inside of the carob itself has many holes, and it is easy to hide a lot of grease in the middle, and the heat is very high. Although tofu is rich in protein and beneficial to the body, when making fried tofu, it will suck all the fat into it.

In addition, okra, onions and other mucus-rich and loose vegetables are also "big oil absorbers", and it is also necessary to pay attention to oil control when cooking.

03.

Imitation meat vegetarian dish

Vegetarian chicken, vegetarian duck, vegetarian shrimp, vegetarian ribs

The raw materials selected by the "imitation meat vegetarian dish" are basically similar in form to a certain meat dish, and the commonly used raw materials are gluten, rotten skin, potatoes, yams, tofu, konjac, shiitake mushrooms, winter shoots and so on.

Many people believe that the raw materials of imitation meat dishes are plant foods, low fat and low calories. In fact, the fat content and calorie content of vegetarian chicken and vegetarian shrimp are higher than that of chicken and shrimp.

More importantly, the thick and fragrant taste of meat dishes is inseparable from fat, and imitation meat dishes are inseparable from frying in order to pursue similar tastes.

B vitamins and unsaturated fatty acids will be lost in frying, and even harmful substances such as trans fatty acids and acrylamide will be produced.

Although the sauce, black pepper and braised pork dishes add a rich taste to the imitation meat dishes, they also bring the hidden dangers of high salt, high fat and high sugar.

04.

Fried vegetable slices

This kind of dried vegetable usually has the word "crisp" in its name, because the processing method uses frying, so the oil content is relatively high, and the taste is particularly crisp and delicious.

Although compared with ordinary fried foods, vegetable chips are usually vacuum fried, the oil temperature is relatively low, and the oxygen in the pot is greatly reduced, avoiding excessive oxidation of oil and the production of carcinogens.

However, fried vegetable slices also belong to fried foods, and the general fat content is 10%-20%, and many are even 20%-40%.

In addition, vegetables are usually fried with salt, sugar, monosodium glutamate, etc. to adjust the taste, which increases the intake of sugar and salt, and further increases energy.

In addition to the high energy, this type of vegetable flakes in the frying process, vitamin C is almost lost, nutrition is far less than fresh vegetables.

You can go three days without meat, but you can't go a day without vegetables. We may not eat big fish and meat for three meals a day, but we can't eat a few vegetables every day.

But pay attention, these vegetarian dishes to eat, may be more oily than meat dishes, be sure to pay attention to cooking methods! If you can eat cold mix raw, you will not stew, and if you can stew, you will not fry.

Imitation meat dishes, dried vegetables, these "deceiving the mouth" vegetarian methods, but also choose less is better.

Based on plant-based vegetarianism, the appropriate amount of fish, meat, eggs and milk is a reasonable combination of three meals, which is both "full of food" and health.
