Food enthusiasts often hear dire warnings about unhealthy eats, with junk food taking the brunt. This week, however, American nutritionist Dr. Emily Field offers a game-changing tip to Business Insider: opt for two burgers instead of one burger with fries for better health.
The reason boils down to nutritional balance—lipids, carbohydrates, and proteins. Burgers deliver all three essentials: carbs for energy, proteins for fullness and bodily functions, and fats for energy storage plus vitamin and mineral absorption. Fries, by contrast, are carb-dominant with negligible protein, spiking blood sugar and leaving you hungry soon after. If one burger isn't satisfying, a second burger trumps fries every time.
Moderation and balance remain key to smart eating!
