The main reason is that with the help of rich and colorful β -glucan in oats, even in helping people lose weight, it can slow down the digestion and absorption of body components, improve the feeling of fullness in the stomach and help to lose weight. But many people find that the calorific value of oats is not low. Why?
We actually looked up the data in the Table of Nutrition and Food Composition in China, and found that the calorific value of the edible part of oats per100g reached 338 calories, which was three times that of polished rice and higher than that of steamed bread, while the sugar and carbohydrate components reached 77 grams. Fortunately, however, the fat rate of oats is low, which is similar to that of fresh vegetables and fruits. Every100g of oats has only 0.2g of human fat. This is why it is mentioned in the new version of Dietary Guidelines for China Residents that adults should eat 50~ 100g of whole grains every day, and it is not recommended to eat more.
In addition, everyone needs to pay attention to oats. After the improvement of material conditions, everyone pays attention to the taste of ingredients, and there is a very big misunderstanding in the choice. Therefore, in order to better choose nutritious and healthy oats, we need to avoid these kinds of "fake oats":
1, instant oatmeal:
Instant oatmeal is very popular with us. The key to its good location is that it is convenient to eat, because in the middle and late stages of work, there is a process that is done in advance. After buying it back, it can usually be eaten in a few minutes. But it is also because of the fine workmanship. The less β -glucan in oats, the worse the health care effect will be.
2. Sweet oats:
Too many people like to eat flavored oats rather than tasteless oats. For oats with exaggerated health care function and good taste, the way to expose this trick is very simple. Just look at the ingredients in the back seasoning to see if there are spices, sugar, milk tea powder and other ingredients. If so, you'd better not buy it.
3. Fancy oatmeal:
Fancy oatmeal is also very popular in the market at present. Such oatmeal may be eaten immediately or soaked for a few minutes, which is usually not the best choice, with low nutrients and high fat.
4. Oat snacks:
Related to oatmeal snacks, including biscuits, candy bars, toast, etc. It goes without saying that the density of nutrients is low or there are foods with high calories. People who lose weight often eat, and they are likely to gain weight, which is not a good choice.
