i think it's impossible not to gain any weight during the chinese new year festivities. the chinese new year goodies are literally health hazards! apart from them being too 'heaty', they're also remarkably calorie-dense. check out the numbers published in the 'mind your body' supplement from the straits times.
peanuts (a handful, 20g) contains 10g of fats, 0.8g of sugar and 113 calories.
yusheng (1 serving, 387g) contains 42.6g of fats, 15.5g of sugar and 561 calories.
love letters (2 pieces, 26g) contains 2.1g of fats, 9.9g of sugar and 112 calories.
dried shrimp rolls (1 packet, 45g) contains 14g of fats, 2g of sugar and 228 calories.
kueh bangkit (2 pieces, 12g) contains 2g of fats, 2g of sugar and 46 calories.
pineapple tarts (2 pieces, 40g) contains 8g of fats, 12g of sugar and 164 calories.
bak kwa (1 slice, 57g) contains 7.8g of fats, 24.5g of sugar and 229 calories.
nian gao (1 slice, 20g) contains 0.1g of fats, 7g of sugar and 46 calories.
imagine you ate all of the above in between 3 meals during the chinese new year period. that will be a total of 86.6g of fats, 73.7g of sugar and 1,499 calories extra for the day. gosh!
scary, right? but i still can't resist the next piece of pineapple tart... lol... :P
