Still Eating Chicken Breast for Weight Loss and Fitness? Try This Low-Fat Meat!
Hello everyone! I am Dad Fu, a practicing physician, focusing on weight management and disease nutrition therapy for over 20 years. I hope my articles are helpful to you.
Everyone knows that weight loss must control calories, including reducing fine carbohydrates and fats, especially saturated fats. Therefore, chicken breast has always been a favorite of dieters and fitness enthusiasts. This is not because chicken breast tastes good, but because chicken breast is rich in high-quality protein while having a low fat content compared to other meats.
But chicken breast doesn't taste very good, and eating it every day can get boring. So what should we do? Today, Dad Fu recommends a very nutritious meat food: duck.Whenever we hear about duck, we immediately think of Peking duck, braised old duck, and duck stew. All of these are oily, so how can we eat duck for weight loss? Don't rush, listen to Dad Fu explain.
Ducks are birds that like to live in the water. For any waterfowl, to keep warm, their skin and subcutaneous fat are relatively thick. Ducks are no exception, and their skin has a high fat content, which is why various duck dishes are oily. However, since we want to lose weight, we cannot eat so much fat. Therefore, it is necessary to remove the skin from the duck, and the duck meat after removing the skin will have a lower fat content.
Duck meat has a lower fat content than meats such as pork, with fat content around 20-30%, with pork belly and tenderloin reaching 50-70%. Duck meat's overall fat content is only 13-15%, with duck breast having a fat content similar to chicken breast, around 5%, and duck legs around 10%, lower than chicken legs. As for protein content, don't worry, duck meat is no less than chicken, between 16-20%, even more than beef and lamb.
However, today we mainly talk about duck fat. Among all poultry and livestock meats, it is quite exceptional.
Everyone knows that olive oil is a relatively healthy oil with mainly unsaturated fatty acids. But in fact, the most beneficial fat for the human body is not one type of fat, but a combination of several types of fats in the right proportion. Many friends may have heard of the 1:1:1 fat ratio, which refers to the ratio of saturated fat, monounsaturated fat, and polyunsaturated fat. If it is around 1:1:1, it is best for the human body. From this perspective, olive oil is not the most ideal oil, and it is also expensive, and some people still prefer the taste of olive oil.
But the fat in duck meat is very close to the ideal state.
