1, it should be said that it is more nutritious. Bread supplements carbohydrates, meat supplements protein and energy, lettuce supplements vitamins and special nutrition, and Thousand Island Sauce (ketchup, sweet sauce or melon sauce) supplements sugar, which is very convenient and should be loved by busy people.
2. Among the top ten junk foods in the world published by the World Health Organization (WHO), fried foods, the main foods of foreign fast food such as McDonald's and KFC, rank first among the top ten junk foods, and soda cola foods, frozen dessert foods and barbecue foods ... all belong to the top ten junk foods.

Expert opinions/suggestions
Fang Fang, a registered dietitian at Yan 'an Hospital in Hong Kong, analyzed that a 4-inch beef burger, with only one piece of beef and vegetables, has less than 300 calories and fat 10.3g, which is a more suitable choice. And a 5-inch double-layer beef cheese bacon burger, due to the use of a lot of meat and cheese, can be as high as 934 calories and nearly 50 grams of fat, which is five times that of the former. According to the data of Hong Kong Centre for Food Safety, the suitable daily intake of calories for adults is 1900-2400 calories, and the upper limit of fat is 60-80g. A giant hamburger accounts for nearly half of the daily calorie demand, and the fat almost exceeds the standard. Long-term consumption will lead to health problems such as obesity, hyperlipidemia and high cholesterol, which cannot be prevented.
Fang also said that hamburgers are not outrageous. Bread can provide some carbohydrates, hamburgers can provide enough protein, fat and iron, and onions and lettuce can provide a small amount of fiber. She suggested that if you can supplement more fruits and vegetables to supplement fiber, it is actually a balanced nutrition, and there is no need to regard hamburgers as a scourge that hinders your health.
Hamburg may be innocent, but hamburgers are prone to accidents, because most meals are accompanied by high-calorie and high-fat snacks such as French fries and fried onion rings. A medium-sized French fries has 349 calories and a fat of 15.9g, which is similar to a beef burger. It is recommended that you try to avoid frying and meat snacks; You can order vegetable salad or use corn kernels instead of French fries. A hamburger, protein, is enough. Carbohydrate is a little insufficient and fiber is lacking, so vegetables should be added.
She reminded everyone that although we can choose a healthier taste among many hamburgers, hamburger steaks always need to add fat to make them delicious and juicy, and the saturated fat is not too low. The beef burger contains 2.4g saturated fat, and the 5-inch giant double cheese beef bacon burger contains 22g saturated fat, and the upper limit of the daily intake of saturated fat is about 2 1-27g. Excessive intake will lead to high cholesterol, blocked blood vessels and increased risk of cardiovascular diseases. It is suggested to consider "occasional enjoyment".
