Luo Huiwen, a reporter from China Health Network, reported that colorful orange-red crabs were rampant on the dining table, which made people want to eat. However, for those dieters who have a tug-of-war with body fat, sweet and full crabs seem to be the bane of slimming. But nutritionists say that crab meat is low-fat meat, which can provide a source of protein for weight control. As long as you avoid crab paste and crab yolk with high fat content when eating crabs, people who lose weight can also taste the good taste of autumn crabs.

Crab meat has low calories. Protein prolongs the persistence of weight loss.

The American health information website "Live Strong" mentioned that crab meat is low in calories, almost all of which come from protein. Take Alaska King Crab as an example. The calorie of 85g cooked crab meat is only about 80 calories. According to the data from the Food Nutrition Database of the Ministry of Health and Welfare of China, crabs are low in calories. Take Xu Xie as an example, the weight per100g is only 78 kcal, but the weight of chicken breast with low fat content is about 104 to 12 1 kcal, and the front and rear legs of pork also have 168 kcal.

Besides the advantage of low calorie, rich protein is also an indispensable nutrient for people to lose weight. To put it simply, the purpose of losing weight is to burn fat, and protein can not only repair the nutrients and muscle tissue lost due to weight loss, but also provide the energy needed by the body to burn fat and improve the basal metabolic rate, so that the body can continue to burn fat and metabolize old waste when not exercising, which is more conducive to weight control.

Crab meat tastes delicious, and high-fiber cooking is more oily.

Nutritionist Wang Xiaonan said that the diet principle of healthy weight loss is a balanced diet, low in starch, high in protein and high in fiber, and not just eating a single food. Crab meat belongs to low-fat meat. Besides direct cooking, stir-frying fresh vegetables and celery with crab feet, or making cold salad with shredded chicken breast, shredded cucumber and shredded carrot is also a good diet to lose weight, which can not only absorb protein and fiber, but also increase the taste of dishes.

In addition, if you are greedy or hungry at non-dinner time, you can also make low-calorie snacks with crab feet. Dip it in oil and vinegar sauce and it will be delicious. A small amount of intake can satisfy your appetite, and you don't have to worry that eating exquisite desserts or snacks such as cakes and biscuits will cost you a lot of money.

Reject cholesterol! Crab paste and crab roe taste.

However, nutritionist Wang Xiaonan warned that although crab meat is low in calories, crab paste and crab roe contain a lot of cholesterol, which will increase bad cholesterol in blood, lower good cholesterol and increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases. It is suggested that the general public should not eat more than one crab at a time and only taste one bite; Patients with high concentration of total cholesterol in blood had better not eat it.

In addition, people who are allergic to seafood should not supplement protein with crab meat. It is suggested that low-calorie chicken breast or lean pork can be used instead. A balanced diet, fresh fruits and vegetables and regular exercise can make weight loss more healthy and lasting.
