【Diet Part】

Recommend 3 quick low-calorie meals that can be prepared in 15 minutes. The ingredients are easy to purchase and the production steps are simple, suitable for preparing in advance in the morning or making quickly after work in the evening: 1. Whole wheat sandwich (2 slices of whole wheat bread + 1 serving of lettuce + 1 fried egg + 50g chicken breast, about 350 kcal): The chicken breast can be marinated in advance and refrigerated. In the morning, you just need to fry it, and match it with whole wheat bread and fresh vegetables, which is nutritionally balanced and highly filling; 2. Mixed grain rice + steamed fish + stir-fried vegetables (100g mixed grain rice + 100g fish + 200g vegetables, about 420 kcal): Mixed grain rice can be cooked in advance on weekends, divided into portions and refrigerated, and heated when eating. The steamed fish only needs to be marinated for 10 minutes and then steamed for 8-10 minutes. Choose high-fiber varieties for stir-fried vegetables, and stir-fry quickly with a small amount of olive oil to retain nutrition and taste; 3. Vegetable tofu soup + 1 corn (100g tofu + 200g vegetables + 1 corn, about 280 kcal): Suitable for evening consumption, light and easy to digest. Tofu provides high-quality protein, vegetables supplement vitamins and dietary fiber, and corn serves as a staple food to provide carbohydrates, avoiding hunger at night.

Ingredient selection skills: Replace refined carbohydrates such as white rice and white noodles with complex carbohydrates such as mixed grain rice, corn, sweet potatoes, and oats. Complex carbohydrates are digested slowly, provide longer satiety, and can stabilize blood sugar; Replace fatty meat and processed meat with high-quality proteins such as chicken breast, fish and shrimp, lean beef, tofu, and eggs. High-quality protein can maintain muscle mass and enhance satiety; Prioritize high-fiber, low-calorie vegetables such as spinach, broccoli, celery, cucumber, and tomatoes. They can not only increase satiety but also promote intestinal peristalsis. When eating out, prioritize steamed, stir-fried, and boiled dishes, and avoid high-oil and high-sugar dishes such as fried, braised in soy sauce, and sweet and sour dishes. When ordering, you can ask for “less salt, less sugar, less oil”.
