Unfortunately, people who go to gyms and put in a lot of effort to lose excess weight themselves negate the result of their efforts when they eat high-calorie foods. To preserve your figure, it is very important to be aware of such problems and strictly monitor your diet.
What foods have the most calories
The highest calorie content is distinguished by sunflower and butter - 900 and 750 kcal, respectively. Of course, sunflower oil is used only in small quantities for frying food and dressing salads, but it can also cause excess weight. It is recommended to use it in small quantities.
Remember that fried vegetables and cuts of meat absorb oil and become much more nutritious as a result. If you are afraid of gaining extra weight, it is better to choose boiled or steamed dishes.
Mayonnaise also has a high calorie content: on average, its energy value is about 630 kcal. This means that if you decide to lose weight with light salads, dressing them with mayonnaise will be a very bad idea.
The list of the most high-calorie foods includes butter cream, as well as all the sweets that it contains. Almost all pastries and cakes can be a powerful "blow" to the figure. For example, the popular "Napoleon" boasts an energy value of 500 kcal per 100 g, which means that four pieces of such a cake can become the daily norm for a woman who wants to lose weight.
"Enemies" of your figure
Pork, lamb, duck, chicken thighs and skin are high-calorie foods. They are not recommended to be consumed in large quantities, especially with fried potatoes, which also have a high energy value and can cause extra centimeters to appear at the waist.
If you like meat, go for lean cuts like chicken breast. Remove lard from pork, cook food in a double boiler, removing the fat melted out at the same time.
Diets often include cheese, but it should be remembered that this product is not always good for the figure. The higher the percentage of fat in the cheese, the softer, more tender its consistency, the more calories you will get by eating a piece. However, a problem can arise when using hard cheeses: for example, classic Cheddar contains 400 kcal, which is almost twice the average calorie content of cooked sausage.
Finally, you should pay attention to how much bread you eat. 100 g of rye bread contains 214 kcal, white bread - 250 kcal. It is especially harmful to eat this product with pasta or potatoes. By the way, lovers of pasta should remember that many sauces served with such dishes are high in calories. The leaders in this matter are "Carbonara" and "Four cheeses".
