How much do you gain weight?
Total we are on vacation and we have spent the year 'curing'. Total, for a day, nothing happens. But the day becomes a fortnight and, when returning home, there is no one who enters the jeans. So that this year we remember the beach bar only to miss its smell of 'pescaítos', its fresh rods and its sunsets over the sea, it is best to be aware of what there is.
For example, the squid is not the most fattening, but the glasses. "The worst we can drink is alcohol and then fried foods, processed products and extra sauces," says María Amaro, a nutrition expert at the Feel Good Clinic (Madrid).
It is estimated that this crystalline gin & tonic that "so well enters" provides about 200 empty calories . What does this mean? Basically, they charge us with energy without any nutrients. In other words, they gain weight without feeding , which is a real nutritional disaster.
And the beers? A 200 ml cane of 'blonde' has about 84 kcal . If it's alcohol-free, about 52. The latter, by the way, would be a good option for healthy soda to hydrate in summer.
The topic doesn't end here. As or more 'dangerous' that drinks are the snacks that accompany them. A small bag of chips (30gr) has 159 kcal. A large one, about 887 kcal. Dramatic. What would be the alternatives? Pickles to power! Gherkins, olives and anchovies in vinegar (provided they are legit!).
RICH AND HEALTHY ALTERNATIVES
They can not know better, especially if they eat in front of the sea, but the chopitos are quite close to the gin & tonic in calories. "A ration of 100gr is 195 kcal of which 42% is fat. Taking into account, in addition, that the quality of the oils are not taken care of in the beach bars, I would clearly opt for a grilled cuttlefish or a good octopus that are equally rich and not so greasy, "Amaro explains.
Summer and, above all, vacations, are here to enjoy. Therefore, this nutritionist continues with her list of healthy and delicious alternatives to enjoy without getting fat. "For starters, cheese or pate tables, hummus; first, salads, salmorejo, gazpacho or seasoned tomatoes and second, fish ceviches, paella, molluscs, sardine or grilled fish."
What do we do with dessert? Trying to avoid the temptation of ice cream is silly so, better to fall into it sensibly. The healthiest choices will always be sorbets or fruit poles, but, if we are more creamy, it is best to look for the handmade ones because they contain more natural ingredients.
