What are some foods that are high in fat?

Excessive intake of foods with high fat content can easily cause obesity, but in life many people do not know which foods are high in fat content. Common foods such as pizza, hamburgers, and meat products have relatively high fat content.

1. Pizza: Pizza is pure junk food that is both delicious and filling. A medium slice of pizza has 350 to 500 calories. Pizza dough is made of white flour, which is a refined flour that only contains calories and no other nutrients. The large amount of cheese on pizza is a milk product that is high in saturated fat, and the rich protein only provides more calories. In addition, the pancakes are often topped with extra garnishes such as curd, chicken or cheese, which increases the saturated fat content.

2. Hamburgers: In India, hamburgers usually contain vegetables and chicken patties or fried potato patties. The patties stuffed into burgers are deep-fried and generally high in saturated and trans fats. Another version of the Indian vegetarian burger is called the vada burger, which is also made of deep-fried potato cakes dipped in batter.

3. Meat and meat products: There are many varieties of meat, such as beef, mutton, pork, lamb, chicken, fish and eggs. All of these meats contain a lot of fat, but fish and chicken are relatively healthier. Any pork and beef product contains at least 20-30% saturated fat (bad fat).

4. Milk chocolate: Chocolate is a high-calorie substance, containing about 2,200 calories per 100 grams. About 60% of the fat in chocolate is saturated fat, and a typical chocolate bar contains 8 grams of saturated fat.

5. Fried foods: The fats produced by these foods during the cooking process are directly stored in the human body and cause obesity. These fried snacks contain at least 13-19% saturated fat.

6. Sweets: The general ingredients of sweets are ghee, Indian cheese, cream, whole milk, maida (white flour), dalda (margarine) and butter. These are very rich in saturated fat. Sugar is an essential ingredient in many sweetened foods or processed foods. Sugar can increase the blood sugar level in the human body, be stored in the body in the form of glycogen, and then converted into fat. Sugar is more or less fried during its cooking process, and absorbs a lot of oil during the frying process. In addition, sugar itself is rich in milk fat, so sugar contains higher saturated fat after frying.
