The Two-Chipolata ​Rule: Nutritionist Reveals ⁤Barbecue ‍pitfall

Summer barbecues are synonymous wiht good times and good food, but indulging ⁢in ​seemingly harmless treats like chipolatas can quickly derail your health goals. According to renowned nutritionist Dr. ⁣Jean-Michel Cohen,exceeding a modest portion of these popular sausages ​can ⁤effectively‌ negate any slimming ⁢efforts.

Chipolatas consistently appear on summer tables, frequently enough disappearing ‍quickly from the grill. But despite their ubiquity,their nutritional profile remains largely unknown. Are they as fatty as other barbecue⁣ staples like merguez? Dr. Cohen recently addressed this ⁢question in a video shared on‌ his social media channels,‍ debunking a common misconception.

“I ‍was quite surprised by the chipolatas during ⁣barbecues,” Dr. ‍Cohen confessed. “I tended to think ⁣that chipolata‍ was a more fatty product than merguez. In reality, this is‌ not true.”

He explained that the​ composition of chipolatas – ⁣a blend of meat and⁢ pork ham – is‌ “arranged in such a ‍way not‌ to be richer than merguez.”⁤ However, ‌this ⁢doesn’t ​mean⁤ they ​are a health ‌food. While formulated ‌to avoid‌ excessive fat content, chipolatas⁤ still ‌contain additives, reminding us that barbecue ⁢fare often ‍represents a notable departure from‍ consuming raw, unprocessed meat.

The critical ⁢number to remember, according to Dr. ​Cohen, ‌is two. ‍Consuming more ​than⁣ two ⁢chipolatas per person can​ quickly add up. A single chipolata ⁣averages 120 calories, translating to​ 240 calories⁣ per​ 100 grams. ‍A ​barbecue featuring these sausages can ⁢easily equate ⁤to ‍the caloric intake of a full ‌meal, but without providing comparable nutritional ⁢benefits.

Dr.Cohen‍ is unequivocal: chipolatas are a⁣ “rich product, not vrey engaging in terms of protein.” With only 16 ⁤grams of ‍protein ‍per 100​ grams, ⁢they ‌pale in comparison to a​ standard cut⁣ of meat, ​which ​offers a considerably higher protein density for a similar portion. This means more empty ‍calories and less sustained ‍satiety.

Does this‍ mean chipolatas should be banished from barbecues altogether? Not necessarily.dr. Cohen emphasizes that the pleasure of eating is significant, ⁣but it ‍must be ‌balanced with awareness and‌ moderation. ⁣His proposal is ⁢clear: ⁣limit consumption to a⁣ maximum of two⁣ chipolatas⁤ per person, per‍ barbecue.

So, the next ⁢time you’re gathered around the grill with friends​ and‍ family, ​remember‌ the two-chipolata rule. Overindulging could undo all your hard work towards maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
