The 3 most well known commonplaces about food
At the base of the eating behaviors of young people there are misconceptions and clichés, widespread even in the adult world.
Common place is classic: pasta makes you fat. The pasta is the first food that is avoided by those holding to the line and he doesn’t know, a dish of pasta, seasoned with tomato, Basil and a little olive oil, provides approximately 370 kcal and gives a greater feeling of satiety more than can make a caprese salad plate (150 g mozzarella more tomatoes) dressed with olive oil , which offers over 400 kcal.
More commonplace, the steak which, along with a plate of salad, is considered the ideal solution for fast weight loss. In fact, steak and salad, is an unbalanced meal, because it contains no trace of carbohydrates; you need a balanced diet.
Young people don’t eat properly: they eat little ammount of food every few hours; like burgers, fries and Coke, the cornerstones of the classic fast food that has made the fortune of several chains of restaurants, which, especially in big cities, have supplanted traditional trattorias and pizzerias. This attitude is related to the belief that by doing so, assumes a moderate amount of calories. In fact, fast food goers should know that that kind of power is heavily unbalanced because it provides a significant amount of fats, while it is quite inadequate intake of minerals, fiber, carbohydrates and vitamins (especially, as usual, vitamin A and vitamin C).
The classic hamburger bun, ketchup and cheese slices is almost a bomb: ~ 650 kcal, of which 34% from fat. Instead, a sandwich with sausage, bacon, mustard and fontina cheese is a real bomb: 800 kcal, 55% of which from fat!
Of course, you should not condemn no food: eat a burger every now and then and sometimes drinking a coke is not contraindicated. But every now and then; the problems arise when you overdo it and you use this type of power too often, without balancing it with vegetables during the day.
