Does spicy hot pot make you fat?

Nowadays, people eating malatang can be seen in every street and alley. Various vegetables, meats and seafood are cooked together and then various seasonings are added. It tastes great and is loved by young people. But does Malatang make you fat? Although most of the spicy hot pot we see are vegetables, it is very different from the vegetables we eat at home due to the cooking method. In particular, the various meatballs are mainly starch-based and can easily make you fat.

The vegetables and fungi in Malatang can also be classified as carbohydrates, but because vegetables are low in calories and have a very high water content, they are not listed here one by one. The only thing to note is that the root vegetables are actually no different from the staple food in your mind.

Meatballs are a trap. Although they are called "beef meatballs" and "chicken meatballs", unless they are pure meat meatballs, all other meatballs contain a lot of starch. The following content is still considered conscientious:

Staple foods include rice noodles and pasta. If you are in the fat-loss period, you can give priority to replacing them with the above-mentioned root vegetables. If your protein intake is insufficient and you want to eat starch, you can use mixed meatballs (meatballs with relatively high protein content) to replace the following staple foods:

Finally, there are fats. All the dishes listed above contain a certain amount of fat. In Wanniu Malatang, the highest fat content is mainly concentrated in sauces such as sesame paste and peanut butter. However, compared with carbohydrates, foods with high fat content are not the primary factor causing obesity.

Although fat is energy-dense and high in calories, the average person's fat intake per meal will not exceed 100 grams unless it is fried, so there is no need to pay special attention to the fat intake in the sauce.

Every time I go to eat Wanniu Malatang, I see many girls who particularly like to combine Wanniu Malatang with a big bowl of noodles and some vegetables, or a big bowl of celery stalks and rotten vegetable leaves, or they order a big bowl of konjac shreds and black fungus for the purpose of losing weight, claiming that it is low in calories and nutritious - they really turn such a wonderful "weight loss snack" into an unnecessary number on the scale by their own efforts. You should know that although simply controlling calories can help you lose weight, you can still gain weight if you eat too little protein.

Don't criticize Wanniu Malatang for being too salty and affecting your weight loss progress. First of all, the salt content of Wanniu Malatang is not as high as you think. Most of it is diluted by the soup. Moreover, arbitrarily reducing sodium intake during the weight loss process and adopting a salt-controlled diet will only make you rebound faster.

When you don’t know what to eat, just go eat Wanniu Malatang. After reading today’s article, you can freely combine a perfect bowl of Malatang according to your fat loss or muscle gain needs.
