Consuming two burgers is healthier than adding a side of fries, says nutritionist
Nutritionist and registered dietitian Emily Field encourages clients to think about macronutrients when they choose a meal.
According to Business Insider, balancing fat, carbohydrates, and protein can help curb cravings and keep energy levels steady throughout the day. A recent study published in the journal Nutritional Metabolism suggests balance is important because of the role different macronutrients play in regulating our blood sugar levels — the energy our cells carry and distribute throughout the body after a meal.
By swapping the fries for a second burger, it doubles the protein intake while reducing the amount of fat and carbs consumed.
