[Immune power up information] “Denciette” to acquire the ability to choose food ②
[Immune power up information] Recently, the new coronavirus has taken the world by storm. In this corner, you can find information on how to build a body that can withstand corona, We will introduce excerpts from past musubi magazines and books published by Seishoku Publishing. The 14th is an interview with Mr. Senji Okumura from the "Musubi Magazine December 6 issue" special feature (XNUMX episodes in total). ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Compare calories per gram as "calorie density"
―Therefore, "calorie density" is a key word. Please tell us about calorie density.
Calories per gram of food. Calorie density is low when there is a lot of water, such as vegetables, fruits, and soups, and high when there is a lot of fat, such as butter and pastries. The same gram of food contains XNUMX calories of fat, XNUMX calories of alcohol, XNUMX calories each of carbohydrates and proteins, XNUMX calories of fiber, and XNUMX calories of water. A low-calorie-dense meal means you'll feel fuller with fewer calories than a high-calorie-dense meal with the same portion size. Therefore, when trying to lose weight or maintain weight to improve lifestyle-related diseases, it is important to be aware of calorie density because it is important to eat in a manner that satisfies and satisfies.You don't have to get hung up on the exact numbers, but I hope it helps you make better food choices.
The more mayonnaise you add, the higher the calorie content of vegetables.
―Has there been any research focusing on calorie density before?
The term "calorie density (CD)" is used so that the general public can understand it, but academically it is called "energy density (ED)".The meaning is exactly the same. In the world, Professor Barbara of Pennsylvania State University in the United States has long advocated a diet that lowers energy density. For example, if you compare eating vegetable sticks with a dip containing a lot of mayonnaise and eating them with a dip containing a little mayonnaise, if the calories are the same, the vegetables with the dip containing a lot of mayonnaise will eat more. It is advocated in Western food that it cannot be done. Japanese food can be prepared one by one in the same way. Saw.
Four times the difference in calorie density between salt-grilled and fried
―In the first half of your book "Low Calorie Full Food", you can find both low-calorie and high-calorie menu items with photos, even though they use the same ingredients. For example, salt-grilled horse mackerel and deep-fried horse mackerel served with tartar sauce had a calorie density of 81 with 82 kilocalories for the grilled horse mackerel, while fried horse mackerel with tartar sauce quadrupled the calories to 19 kilocalories. Also, the calorie density was XNUMX. If you look at this, you can see at a glance that if you choose salt-grilled horse mackerel, you can eat more than fried horse mackerel if you keep the same calorie content, so you can feel more full even if the calories are low.
The first half of the book features a single item menu. The reason for this is that, as a reader, I would like men who are not good at cooking, who do not go shopping often, and who are concerned about metabolic syndrome to acquire the ability to make good food choices just by looking at the pictures in the book. Because I thought that.
