How can I make a green salad?
A small spoon of salad dressing, about 10 grams, energy up to 38 kcal, higher than 100 grams of 25 kinds of vegetables. Therefore, it is recommended to use vinaigrette as a base, and the oil should be dripped less.
When you go to a restaurant, try to avoid these dishes like Di San Xian, Dry-Fried Yardlong Beans, Oil-stew Eggplant, Gong Bao Chicken, etc. Those ingredients have been fried first and then stir-fried. If you eat vegetables which are full of oil, losing fat is impractical.
