What are some high-calorie foods?
Disease description:
I'm quite overweight, and my doctor told me to avoid high-calorie foods, saying that if I gain more weight, I could develop fatty liver disease. That really scared me. Doctor, what are examples of high-calorie foods?
Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Shen Yonghua
Typical high-calorie foods:
1. Fried foods: such as fried chicken and French fries, because oils and fats are very high in calories.
2. Nuts and seeds: such as almonds, walnuts, peanuts, and sunflower seeds. They are rich in healthy fats and proteins, but also high in calories.
3. Full-fat dairy products: such as whole milk, cheese, and butter, which contain higher levels of fat and calories.
4. Chocolate and candies: especially dark chocolate and high-sugar candies. They are not only high in calories but also contain large amounts of sugar.
5. Baked goods: such as cakes, cookies, and bread, which often contain significant amounts of sugar and fat.
6. Red meat and processed meats: such as beef, pork, sausages, and bacon. Although they provide high-quality protein, they are also high in calories and saturated fat.
7. Sugar-sweetened beverages: such as carbonated drinks, fruit juices, and energy drinks. The sugar content in these beverages rapidly increases caloric intake.
Therefore, in daily diets, it is important to maintain balance, consume various nutrients in appropriate amounts, and avoid excessive reliance on high-calorie foods.
