Eating out in a restaurant and a caloric reality that you often don't want to perceive. Mc Donald may even be more calorically beneficial

We live fast and there is a change in our eating habits. The frequency of consumption of meals prepared outside the house is increasing worldwide. An ordinary American eats and drinks about one-third of his calories outside the house. Eating, especially in fast food establishments, is considered to be one of the factors in the rise of global obesity, although not all research confirms this. The main reason is simply excessive consumption of calories, which on the other hand are not used in any way. In other words, people have little movement. Almost everyone under the term fast food will usually imagine something nutritionally of minimal value, or if you want, unhealthy or high-calorie. But what about such "ordinary" food in a restaurant? Doesn't that also sabotage our efforts?

Recently, the survey has seen the light of day and provides really interesting data to think about. Its goal was to find out how many calories the most frequently eaten foods contain, whether in a restaurant or fast food. The data come from five selected countries and are compared with the USA. A total of 223 dishes were included from 111 randomly selected establishments in Brazil, China, Finland, Ghana and India. I would not even call the findings shocking, they simply confirm the cruel caloric reality that many of us still refuse to perceive. As much as 94% of meals from regular restaurants and 72% of fast food meals contained at least 600 calories per serving.

Interestingly, fast food contained 33% less energy than restaurant food. However, it should be noted here that its total weight was often lower, but the researchers were interested in one common portion. In terms of portion comparisons, fast food was "better" (880 kcal vs. 1166 kcal). The subject of a similar observational study was to examine the energy content of main courses served in restaurants in the United Kingdom and to compare their energy content with fast food. Such a normal course in the restaurant was on average 268 kcal more than in fast food. The total average of 13,000 meals was 977 kcal, but 47% of them contained more than 1000 kcal per serving and only 9% had less than 600 kcal!

This way of eating represents from 70 to 120% of a woman's daily (inactive) energy intake. Remember, we're talking about one meal. That is, without taking into account additional meals, drinks, snacks, appetizers or desserts in both surveys. Therefore, it is more than likely that many will consume even more calories to sit on. We have simply learned to prefer highly-concentrated versions of food, which of course the market responds to and we see the result.

Food establishments in general, and not just fast food restaurants, provide high-calorie meals. Think about how much unnecessary oil is used in the preparation of the meal. Because an identical portion can easily have 10 g less oil, and we are talking about exchanging a tablespoon for tea. Sometimes try to take two napkins, squeeze the grilled chicken steak and you will see how much oil you have left in them. You will probably be surprised. Of course, due to the higher palatability of the food (ie the overall palatability), other ingredients are added, which increases the overall caloric density of the food. Even some dishes (3%) from the survey in question climbed up to 2000 kcal per serving!

Consider the only difference between using 2 dcl of 1.5% milk vs. 2 dcl 10% cream in soup. You do not know? 100 vs. 272 kcal. The restaurant we eat in certainly plays a role. The researchers also pointed to this fact, because in China, for example, the same food had 1386 kcal in one roast, and 657 kcal in the other. Therefore, notice what you get on the plate and whether it shines like polished Christmas balls. If so, add + 15 g of oil to the myfitness stick. Be a tactician and prefer to overestimate the food calories rather than underestimate it. At least during the diet period. And don't think that the salad has no calories (the average came out somewhere around 300 kcal), if you put a dressing on it, then you are at even higher values ​​(eg KFC - 663 kcal, McDonald’s - 248 kcal, SUBWAY - 416 kcal).

Although researchers found a link between the weight of food and its energy content, the weight of food itself was a very inaccurate indicator of its energy content. Again, we can think about a high concentration of calories even with relatively small meals. If you look at the mentioned survey, you will see a nice graph right at the beginning, where you can click through it all. For example, fried meatballs from China at 270 grams reached over 1300 kcal, 230 g of Americana chicken pizza in India almost 700 kcal, a double quarter pounder with cheese (burger) and medium fries in America at a total weight of 360 g climbed to 1250 kcal .

If you're wondering how researchers have figured out exactly how many calories this or that food contains, check out the video below. Briefly, the dishes were mixed into a smooth puree, dried and then made into small tablets under pressure. These were then analyzed for gross energy content using the so-called calorimeter bombs. Energy density was calculated as gross energy per gram of food weight.

In an ideal world without social life and the influence of our surroundings on what we eat, we would be able to solve the problem of unnecessary excessive consumption more easily. We just won't eat outside. Of course, under the utopian assumption that at home it does not compensate for what we did not eat outside the house. In reality, it probably wouldn't work. Going out once in a while and giving yourself something even more caloric with the current form of some compensation within a given day - no problem. With daily consumption and several times a day? This is another song.

A possible solution would be in the form of mandatory indication of the calorific value of individual foods next to their name, as recommended by the latest (finally) FDA. It is more than clear to me that even this will not convince an ordinary person not to have his favorite fried steak with french fries and mayonnaise. However, it would give many a better overview and, together with a basic knowledge of calories, paved the way for more optimal food choices.

Of course, you can dine in the restaurant. We also wrote an article about it. But if you do not have the basics, practice and relevant experience in weighing and solving calories and macronutrients, eating in a restaurant can make you wrinkle your forehead and body fat. Frequent unnecessary portions and orders when we have lunch with others, or very overstated calories, which we would be able to cut in half with the same meal, just prepared at home. Not only is this a classic scenario that we often see. Next time, especially if you are a beginner and have no experience with tracking food, think carefully about how many calories you probably had.
