Will eating cake at night make you fat

As we all know, cake is actually a high-calorie food. If we are losing weight, then cake is definitely not a food we can eat. But some friends will eat some small cakes to satisfy their appetite. In fact, if we exercise after eating cake, we can consume the effects of the cake. But many people ask, will eating cake at night make you fat? Then the answer is yes.

1. Buy the smallest but most beautiful cake

If sharing is carried out, with the same number of people, by buying a smaller and more expensive cake, the average amount eaten by each person will be reduced, and there is no need to force yourself and your relatives and friends to eat more for fear of waste.

If you are eating it alone, set a special day, go to a particularly high-end bakery, choose the expensive items that you normally wouldn't buy, buy the smallest portion, and then enjoy it slowly.

Don't always eat poor quality cakes, eat a big piece at a time, or eat it frequently, that would be boring. Only the enjoyment that you cannot get on weekdays can add to the happiness of the festival and is worth savoring for a long time.

2. Always eat cake before meals

Many people eat the holiday meal first and then eat the cake, which is not appropriate.

Firstly, after eating a big meal, the mood to enjoy cake has been reduced a lot; secondly, the stomach is already full of food, and eating cake again will only result in overeating. It is better to eat your favorite cake first at a buffet or banquet, and then reduce the amount of other foods.

3. Eat cake with sugar-free tea or lemonade

The cake itself is too high in fat and has a very low satiety index. After eating it, you will feel that it is not very big and you can still eat other things. Take a bite of cake, chew it carefully and then take two sips of tea or lemonade and swallow it slowly. This will allow the cake to expand in size in the stomach and increase your sense of fullness.

At the same time, these calorie-free drinks can also cleanse the taste buds and restore the tongue's ability to perceive the deliciousness of the cake. Appreciating the cake slowly like this will make you feel more happy and satisfied than eating it bite by bite in a hurry.

4. Eat a large piece of cake over two days

If you can't finish the cake, transfer it to a container and store it in the refrigerator. If the cake is baked on the same day, it can be refrigerated for more than 24 hours. Never eat too much for fear of waste.

5. When eating cake, adjust the amount of other foods

If the cake contains flour and sugar, then reduce the staple food as compensation; if the cake contains a lot of fat, then choose dishes cooked with less oil as compensation. For example, instead of eating braised fish, we now choose steamed fish; instead of eating grilled lamb chops, we now choose boiled shrimps; instead of eating stir-fried vegetables with garlic, we now choose cold dishes. In this way, the calories in one meal will not be too much, and the fattening effect of the cake can be minimized. Of course, don’t eat other snacks after the meal.

6. After eating cake, balance it with low-fat fiber food

The ingredients of cakes are sugar, saturated fat, eggs, flour or cheese, etc. Obviously, they can easily cause increased blood lipids and blood sugar. Therefore, a large amount of dietary fiber must be used to eliminate their adverse effects on health. In order to metabolize large amounts of sugar and fat, B vitamins are also needed.

So, at your next meal or the next day, eat more vegetables, fruits, whole grains and beans, and less greasy food.

7. Increase exercise to burn calories

If you really can't follow the above advice, you can only make up for it by increasing exercise. A 100-gram cake contains 348 kcal of energy. To burn it off, you need to jog for 50 minutes or brisk walk for 87 minutes. If you do housework instead, it will take even longer, about 105 minutes of housework to burn it off.

Dr. Fan’s favorite food is cheesecake. It's one of those rich cakes that really has a lot of cheese but doesn't have a biscuit base. This kind of cake is best eaten before a meal when your appetite is strong, because you won’t be able to fully appreciate its beauty after eating.

In this way, you can feel full and satisfied by eating a small piece of cheesecake, and you can skip a meal by just adding some fruits and vegetables. Eat it once and you will lose interest in it for at least three months. Because of this, my love for cheesecake has never been related to my weight.

Tips for buying cakes:

1. Try to buy cakes made with pure cream. The so-called "fresh milk" is vegetable cream, and the puff pastry below may also contain vegetable shortening. However, many bakeries now have products that add real whipping cream, butter, and cheese, but they are more expensive, need to be refrigerated, and have a shelf life of only one day. However, they are more worth enjoying. As high-energy foods, at least butter contains vitamin A and vitamin D, and cheese also contains a lot of calcium, vitamin AD, B vitamins and protein, while shortening and paper butter contain nothing but some bad fats.

2. When buying a chocolate cake, check whether it is real chocolate. Nowadays, many so-called chocolate cakes, especially the "chocolate" decorations on the cakes, are made with cocoa butter substitute chocolate, which does not contain the polyphenols in chocolate at all. They also use hydrogenated vegetable oil instead of cocoa butter, which has a high melting point and is easier to preserve, but is more unhealthy.

3. When buying a cake, don’t look for a lot of sugar cards, sugar beans, powdered sugar and other decorations. These things are neither as delicious as cakes, and they are high-calorie "dry goods" and are not worth spending a high price on. The cake should have a mild and natural taste. The pungent smell usually means a lot of cheap flavors have been added.

4. When buying a cake, don’t be attracted by the so-called “healthy” effects of fruit garnishes. The amount of fruit in a fruit cake is limited, and its freshness decreases after a day. It mainly serves an aesthetic purpose and has a low cost-effectiveness ratio. If the price is high because of added fruits, it is better to buy fresh fruits directly.
