I have hyperlipidemia, so my doctor advised me to eat fewer high-calorie and high-fat foods. This has been troubling me a lot, and I think about it every day. Doctor, what are some examples of high-calorie and high-fat foods?

Dr. Shen Yonghua

High-calorie, high-fat foods mainly include the following categories:

1. Fried foods: such as fried chicken, French fries, and doughnuts. These foods absorb large amounts of oil during the cooking process, resulting in not only high calorie content but also high levels of saturated and trans fats.

2. Fast-food burgers: especially those containing large amounts of cheese and beef patties, which are high in both calories and fat.

3. Sweets and pastries: including chocolate cake, cream cake, doughnuts, and pies. These foods contain not only high amounts of fat but also significant quantities of sugar, both of which contribute to their high caloric content.

4. Processed meats: such as sausages, bacon, and hot dogs. These foods are high in fat and may also contain substantial amounts of sodium and additives.

5. Nuts: although nuts are considered a healthy snack option, they are also high in calories and fat—for example, almonds, walnuts, and peanuts.

It is recommended to moderate the intake of these foods in daily diet and choose low-fat, high-protein, and high-vitamin foods to maintain good health.
