5 ways salads make you fat
Eating a salad is a bit like going to the gym: you feel better about yourself after doing it, but finding the motivation for this to happen can be a challenge. And unlike the gym, there are no personal trainers with spandy to flirt with the bar of salad.
But the motivation may not be the biggest challenge; Often he chooses the right ingredients. Here are 5 ways the salads making you big who do not leave you any other choice than to hit the gym after all if you want to meet theseweightloss Goals.
You will chart with dried fruits
Dry fruits can certainly add texture and fiber to a salad, but in many cases it could be both candy. Just a quarter cup of dried cranberries - a handle can have up to 29 grams of sugar. And all does not all come from naturally sweet fruit; A cup of fresh cranberries has only 4 grams of natural sugar.
Eating this! Check the lists of ingredients on dried fruits for sugar and its aliases, or opt for a small part of fresh fruit.
You drown it in the vinaigrette
Much a healthy salad has died while dressing the drowning. It's a shame, because a little fat is actually a good thing. As little as 3 grams of monounsaturated fat can help the body's ability to absorb the nutrients of vegetables, according to a university study of Purdue. But your average spoon of 2 tablespoons serving much more fat than it: about 12 grams and 120 calories.
Eating this! Always ask for an olive oil vinaigrette on the side when restoring and measuring a safer soup spoon for your greens.
You are not easy on the cheesey
Cheese can add hollow and salty bites to a bowl of blaze greens, as well as calcium and protein to start. But most varieties of full fat are high in saturated fat. A standard portion of cheese, about 1.5 ounces, is about the size of a pair of dice (I know, lowercase) and add about 150 calories and 15 fat of grease to your salad.
Eating this! Glue on an ounce or less sang cheese that you can handle. Although more and more fat, strong varieties like goat cheese and blue cheese will place more with a punch to flavor than, for example, pizza cheese, which means you need less.
You are crunchy with croutons
Crunchy, airy, delicious and, more often, devoid of any fiber or kindness of whole grains, the croutons are an easy way to add empty calories to your vegetable plate. Six other cubes pack about 30 calories and 75 milligrams of sodium. And who is only six years old? More than 16 years, which gave you about 80 calories and 200 milligrams of sodium.
Eating this! If you are serious about adding the crunch to your salad, and do not bother a bit of a calorie bump, opt for a spoonful spoonful of almonds or sunflower seeds.
You have fry your protein
I do not think it's a bad idea to add skinny, filling protein with a meal. But while a portion of 4 ounces of skinless chicken breast provides more than 20 grams of protein and less than 5 grams of fat, the same game, breaded, carries a big grams of fat, mainly saturated. You can also have ordered a cheeseburger.
Eating this! Go grilled, always. Vegetarian? The low fat cottage cheese or varied hard egg can be large sources of protein.
