Which is more nutritious, Western fast food or Chinese fast food? There will be no answer to this question. Because the nutritional value is not directly related to what kind of food it belongs to, it is only related to the specific ingredients selection, ratio and cooking method. No matter what kind of fast food, you can cook a balanced and unhealthy meal.
At present, people think that western-style fast food is harmful to health, mainly because its energy, fat and saturated fat content are too high and dietary fiber is seriously insufficient. The reason is that there is too much cooking meat and oil, but not enough vegetables, coarse grains and beans. Their snacks are fried French fries, desserts are varieties containing a lot of saturated fat, and drinks are sweet drinks, which do not meet the requirements of a healthy diet.
However, some Chinese fast foods have similar problems. For example, many fast food restaurants have braised pork rice, fat beef rice, bacon and egg yolk rice, Four Joy Meetballs rice, fried pork chop rice and so on. They also provide a lot of high-fat meat, but few vegetables. The staple food is only white rice, and there is no choice of coarse grains, beans and potatoes. According to the calculation of nutrients, it is found that the energy from fat in these diets exceeds 40%, and some even reach more than 50%. The ratio of saturated fat to total energy greatly exceeds the limit of 10%. Compared with western fast food, it has no advantage at all.
