"Six Principles" of Healthy and Nutritional Lunch for Diabetic Patients
At lunch, diabetics should eat stir-fried, steamed and stewed dishes. Carrots, beans, eggplant, tomatoes, wax gourd, pumpkins, radishes, mushrooms, kelp, fungus and other ingredients are preferred, and some lean meat such as chicken legs can also be eaten, but the total intake of lean meat should not exceed the size of an egg.
It should be noted that diabetic patients should prepare 3 lunch boxes, such as rice and other staple foods 1 lunch box, hot dishes 1 lunch box and lettuce 1 lunch box. If diabetics have entertainment at noon, they should do the following three things: ① avoid alcohol; One or two low-calorie dishes at 2 o'clock, such as Chinese cabbage and bean sprouts; 3 calorie intake should not exceed the standard.
Diabetic patients can have a seven-point full lunch. Lunch is the most important meal in the daily diet, which provides 30%-40% of the total energy in the whole day. If you consume 2200 calories a day, the amount of staple food should be around 125g. It is best to achieve the "six principles": one meat, one dish, one mushroom, one bean, one cereal and one soup!
Meat: all kinds of meat (about 75g).
Vegetables: all kinds of vegetables (about 200 grams).
Gu: that is, the staple food. You can choose rice, noodles, steamed bread, cakes and so on.
Soup: In other words, vegetable soup, avoid thick soup.
Mushrooms: bacteria and algae (about 50 grams), such as mushrooms and kelp.
Beans: all kinds of beans and their products (about 50 grams).
Generally speaking, the lunch of diabetic patients should have the characteristics of meat, less oil and less salt. Therefore, diabetics who go to work every day should not often have lunch in restaurants, but should bring their own lunch. Fried beans, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, vegetarian fried eggplant and other dishes are all good choices in their own dishes.
How do diabetics eat healthy late?
It is generally suggested that the energy provided by dinner should account for 30%-40% of the total energy required for the whole day, and the cereal for dinner should be about 125g (raw weight).
It's best to mix some coarse grains with cereals for dinner. For example, southerners add some millet to rice and make it into "two meters" according to 2: 1 or 3: 1; Northerners, when the staple food is steamed bread, change to a tortilla.
It should be noted that you should master the cooking degree. Too much water will turn into glutinous rice, which is not conducive to the stability of blood sugar. The "best state" of rice is just ripe but full and complete.
Generally speaking, people have less activities at night, low energy consumption, and too much diet is not conducive to digestion, which easily leads to unstable blood sugar of sugar friends.
Dinner is mainly vegetarian, eating less meat, which is a healthy way of eating. It means eating dinner early, so that the food in your stomach can be digested almost before going to bed, and it will not affect your sleep at night. Sugar friends can take a blood sugar test before going to bed. If it is lower than 5.6mmol/l, it is recommended to add meals appropriately to avoid hypoglycemia at night!
Some people want to eat fruit, unhealthy diabetics eat fruit in meals, and diabetics should eat fruit before two meals.
Fruit mainly contains fructose, with obvious sweetness, but the glycemic index (referring to the speed and ability of blood sugar rising after eating each food) is different. Fruit is rich in vitamins, inorganic salts and dietary fiber. People with diabetes can eat a certain amount of fruits, such as cherries, when their blood sugar is stable. Generally, they eat 150 ~ 200g a day.
It should be noted that diabetic patients are advised to take fruit only when their blood sugar is stable for a long time. In addition, it is suggested that patients can also eat fruits between meals two hours after meals, and try to buy fresh fruits. If the fruit is too ripe, its sugar will also increase, leading to a rapid increase in blood sugar.
Finally, it needs to be emphasized that diabetic patients should have three meals at regular intervals, at least three meals a day, with regular quantitative intervals of 4-5 hours. Diabetic patients who are injected with insulin or those who are prone to hypoglycemia should also eat 2~3 times between meals, and some food can be taken out as extra meals after meals, which is an effective measure to prevent hypoglycemia.
Eating seven or eight full points is more conducive to blood sugar control, neither too full nor too little, too full blood sugar is high, and less is easy to hypoglycemia!
