Some of the most cost-effective tips for eating buffet

Recently, a post called "Guide to Buffet" was popular on major websites. Among them, the most representative slogan "Help the wall in (legs are weak from hunger) and help the wall out (keep your waist straight)" made many people feel the same. In fact, there are many people who eat buffets with the mentality of "eating enough", but I'm afraid many people don't know how to eat and what to eat at buffets. To this end, the reporter of Life Times made a survey.

Half of the people eat buffet in order to "return to their roots"

In a buffet hot pot restaurant in Xidan Mingzhu Building, the reporter made a random survey. Among the 3 buffet customers interviewed, 19 were chosen because of the good price. The reporter found that although the warning slogan of "Take what you need, don't waste it" on the dining table is unusually eye-catching, many people still turn a blind eye. No matter whether they like to eat or not, they will still take a lot of plates in one breath. What's more, in order to avoid being punished, they will throw all the things they can't eat into the soup pot before leaving. The head waiter of the restaurant said helplessly: "Many customers would rather not finish the leftovers than underestimate their' strength' when picking up vegetables. Although the restaurant has a fine for waste, in the case that there is not a lot of leftover food, it is usually a' release' method for wasters. "

According to the online survey, the result shows that 3.22% people choose the buffet because they can eat many different things with a wide variety. 18.2% chose "you can eat as much as you like, and you don't have to pay more for eating more"; 46.4% chose "since you have spent money, you must try your best to eat it back"; At the same time, 18.34% chose "everyone around you is like this". To sum up, nearly 5% of buffet customers have the mentality of "eating enough". The survey results also show that the main consumers of buffets are 25-45 years old, accounting for more than 73%, and the monthly income between 2,5-4, yuan accounts for more than 63%.

regarding this phenomenon, Xiao Zhenyu, a doctor of psychology in Peking University, said that buffet is popular not only because of its rich dishes, but also because diners can take unlimited food and have the mentality of "eating enough". In psychology, this belongs to the theory of social exchange, and people will feel that if they pay so much money, they will get a return that exceeds their original value. But in fact, "the eyes are big and the stomach is small", and in the end, it eats the body. He reminded that when eating a buffet, you should have a correct attitude and have fun, and don't go against the original intention of enjoying food.

Several misunderstandings about eating buffet

"Many people's habit of eating buffet is not good for their health, but it will make people' take advantage of small things and suffer big losses'." Yu Kang, deputy director of the Nutrition Department of Peking Union Medical College Hospital, said.

only eat the expensive ones, not the right ones. When eating buffet, people often like to choose more expensive food such as meat or seafood. However, excessive protein and fatty food, on the one hand, have low nutrient content, and on the other hand, will inhibit the secretion of gastric juice and gastric peristalsis, and make the kidney overload, resulting in renal function damage. In addition, foods with high protein content, such as seafood, are dangerous for some people, such as patients with fever, inflammation and rash.

eat Ben back in one meal. Many people eat it until the end, but they can't absorb so much, which will not only increase the total energy intake, but also lead to an increase in stomach capacity, abdominal distension, food stagnation and indigestion.

be hungry before meals and save your stomach. Eating less at the first meal can easily lead to overeating, dizziness, mental trance, gastrointestinal discomfort, chest tightness, shortness of breath, diarrhea or constipation, and even acute gastroenteritis and even gastric bleeding.

drink less water, or even not. At the beginning of the meal, it is best to drink a few mouthfuls of soup to moisten the throat and esophagus, which is conducive to the smooth entry of food, and at the same time promote gastrointestinal peristalsis and start the secretion of digestive juices such as saliva and gastric juice. Otherwise, you will feel thirsty after eating, and then drinking water will dilute the gastric juice.

Eat less staple food and eat more vegetables

Fan Zhihong, an associate professor at the College of Food Science of China Agricultural University, pointed out that, in fact, if you eat the buffet correctly, you can also eat a balanced diet. Besides moderation, the scientific order of eating is small bowl of soup → vegetables → rice flour → fish and shrimp → meat birds → fruit after half an hour, which is most in line with the law of human digestion and absorption.

She said that drinking a little soup before meals and padding the intestines and stomach will not only help digestion, but also reduce the intake of a lot of fat and protein. In the buffet, there are many raw vegetables, fruits and cold dishes, which are rich in vitamins and easy to digest and absorb. In addition, the cellulose contained in vegetables can also promote intestinal peristalsis, so you can eat more appropriately. Don't eat too many staple foods and desserts. The staple foods served in the buffet, such as snacks, fried rice and fried noodles, are mostly greasy. Even if you want to eat them, you should also reduce the amount of other foods at the same time, otherwise you will consume too much oil, sugar and salt. For the sake of cost, operators will not choose too good raw materials when cooking meat and seafood, but will use condiments to flavor them, and will also put a lot of salt. Therefore, it is best not to eat more than 1 grams of meat, and they should also avoid choosing particularly oily ones.

in addition, when you pick up the dishes, you'd better walk around the whole venue first to get to know the situation, and then put them on the plate. If you pretend to eat indiscriminately, you will inevitably put the cart before the horse, and the salty and sweet will make you eat neither carefree nor comfortable. It's best to take only a little at a time, and after tasting it, I think it's ok, and then take it. Yu Kang also told you a tip when eating buffet. When eating meat dishes or oily dishes, you might as well dip in vinegar to relieve greasy and satiety.
