How to order cold dishes:

1, cold dishes usually choose starchy foods.

Traditional cold dishes are mainly fish and eggs. Drinking and eating meat on an empty stomach is actually not conducive to the health of the gastrointestinal tract and the balance of nutrition. It is more reasonable to use staple food as a side dish. However, if it is for entertaining friends or business banquets, it is against the rules and humiliating to give the staple food as soon as it comes up. The solution is to work hard on the choice of cold dishes.

For example, you can order some cold dishes with starch, including fruits and vegetables and cold meat. Eating starchy food and vegetables at the beginning of a meal, then eating a few mouthfuls of fish with protein, and then drinking, so that part of the starch can enter the stomach first, can reduce the problem of protein's waste later, and can also quickly relieve hunger, slow down the speed of eating and reduce the harm of drinking on an empty stomach.

Moreover, the dietary fiber contained in these cold dishes can also make up for the shortcomings in the hot dishes behind.

Recommended cold dishes: cold dishes are mainly vegetarian dishes, and greasy dishes are as few as possible. Order whatever you want, such as rotten fish and braised pork, with some cold dishes containing starch, such as buckwheat noodles, fern root powder, bean jelly rice skin, mashed potatoes, glutinous rice lotus root, lily red dates, spiced kidney beans and so on. You can also order one or two raw vegetables and cold fruit with little oil.

2. How to order hot dishes for dinner:

Diversification of food types. Many times, people think that their dishes are rich enough, but when they look closely, they are a combination of a few ingredients such as braised pork, fried pork and pork balls.

Food can be divided into meat, aquatic products, eggs, vegetables, bean products, staple foods and so on. When ordering food, all kinds of food should be included. In meat, try to choose multiple varieties, such as pork, beef, chickens and ducks, and try not to repeat the ingredients.

3. The ratio of meat to vegetables should be reasonable.

Although eating out can't completely achieve the ratio of one meat to three dishes, you can still achieve the ratio of 1: 1 even 1: 2 as long as you order wisely. Vegetables are also divided into green leafy vegetables, orange-yellow vegetables, light-colored vegetables, fungus vegetables and so on. And try a variety of combinations in collocation.

The principle is that vegetarian ingredients should be diverse and animal ingredients should be exquisite, so that a meal can leave a good and deep impression.

Cuisine recommendation: In addition to vegetarian dishes, you may wish to choose those dishes with vegetarian ingredients, such as meat with nuts and vegetables, chicken soup with vegetables and fungi, and aquatic products with green vegetables. It can not only achieve a sense of food, but also increase the proportion of various ingredients. ?

4, cooking methods should be less oil.

When ordering food, ask the chef to put as little oil and salt as possible when cooking. You can also ask the waiter to serve soup and vegetarian dishes early, especially when cooking, so that you can eat a lot less oil and salt. If possible, order more steamed, boiled and stewed dishes.

How to order staple food varieties:

1. Serve the staple food as soon as possible.

Most banquets are full of fish before considering whether to serve the staple food, which is not conducive to the use of protein, but also brings a burden to the body, which is not conducive to controlling blood lipids.

In order not to affect people's interest, in addition to adding some varieties containing starch to cold dishes, you can also choose varieties containing potatoes, sweet potatoes, taro, miscellaneous grains, miscellaneous beans and other ingredients in hot dishes, such as stewed chicken with taro, stewed lotus root with ribs, beef with red kidney beans, Pleurotus nebrodensis, etc., or you can serve the staple food early after two or three times of hot dishes.

2. Choose coarse grains, beans and potatoes.

The staple foods in most restaurants are crisp, steamed stuffed bun, jiaozi, fried rice and so on, except white rice and soft noodles. White rice and white flour steamed bread have low nutritional value and fast blood sugar rise, although there is not much fat. It is worth noting that other staple foods include oil, salt or sugar, and there are no coarse grains in them.

Pay special attention to eating less crispy snacks, which usually contain a lot of saturated fat, which is not good for your health. After eating so many high-fat vegetables at the party, there is still a considerable surplus of oil and salt. Isn't it worse to add oil and salt to the staple food? So it is better to choose more coarse grains.

Recommended staple food: Some cold dishes contain coarse grains, such as buckwheat flour, naked oats noodles and kidney beans. It's best to order some coarse grain potato combinations such as "farmhouse music".

Now many restaurants have a combination of steamed corn, sweet potato, taro and pumpkin, which not only has a happy atmosphere, but also can get nutritional value that polished rice and white flour do not have. In addition, some tortillas, steamed bread, purple rice porridge and mung bean porridge are also good staple food choices.

How to order fruit with food?

1, the fruit might as well be served earlier.

If you don't deliberately control your appetite, your stomach will be full after a meal. Supplementing fruit at this time will increase your energy supply, which is not conducive to weight control. If fruit can be included in a meal and served as a cold dish early, the problem of excess energy in a meal can be avoided.

Especially for people with hypertension, hyperlipidemia and obesity, it is not uncomfortable to eat fruit on an empty stomach. If fruit can be served first to fill the stomach bag, it can make up for the shortage of vegetables and fiber when eating, which may help prevent excessive food and improve the nutritional balance.

In addition, it is not suitable to provide preserved fruit or ice cream before and after meals. Especially for people with weak gastrointestinal function, eating greasy food and cold fruit after meals may affect digestion and absorption and cause discomfort. Therefore, it is best to serve fruit with food at room temperature instead of ice.
