Will women gain weight from eating lard?
I've been gaining weight recently, possibly because I especially enjoy eating hot lard-mixed rice, and I can eat two bowls each time. May I ask, will women gain weight from consuming lard?

Lard, as a high-fat food, has a certain association with weight changes depending on the amount consumed. However, whether it causes weight gain depends not only on the intake of a single food item but also on various factors such as overall dietary patterns, energy expenditure, and individual metabolic levels.
Lard is a high-calorie, high-fat food, containing approximately 890 calories and nearly 100 grams of fat per 100 grams, mostly in the form of saturated fatty acids. Excessive consumption of high-fat foods, including lard, can lead to weight gain if caloric expenditure is less than caloric intake. Moderate consumption of lard, combined with a balanced diet and appropriate exercise, generally does not lead to weight gain.
Women should maintain a balanced diet, consume adequate amounts of various nutrients, and incorporate appropriate exercise to maintain a healthy weight and physique. Additionally, intake of high-fat foods such as lard should be controlled and preferably consumed with foods rich in dietary fiber to promote digestion and metabolism.
