The Health Benefits Of Eating Burgers

by

Cedric Loiselle

We ve all heard or read the dangers of eating too much fastfood. And although hamburgers have been unfairly categorized in that department, there is hardly anything disadvantageous to raise about consuming it on a regular basis, even in the form of burgers. In fact, a diet of beef has been found to be more beneficial than eating pork and chicken regularly. These are nutritional facts every hamburger restaurant should emphasize to make their clients feel at ease.

As far as calorie content goes, beef provides more per serving than chicken. At 219 calories per 100 grams, beef can be relied on to provide enough energy and sustenance to support muscle weight gain or rigorous physical activity. Sure, technically, more calories mean more weight gain. But getting fat is actually dependent on the fact that you are consuming more than what you need. A person s size, gender and activity level will affect how much calories they actually require per day. But with the World Health Organization estimate of 2300 calories for males and 2100 for females, you can safely assume that a diet of one cheeseburger a day, which should be around 367 calories, is acceptable.

And then we have conjugated linoleic acid which basically contributes 47 percent beef fat. In an article published in Medicine Science in Sports and Exercise, conjugated linoleic acid have actually been found to promote an increase in muscle strength and enhanced fat loss. And let s not look over the fact that a healthy level of fat in the body actually enables it to absorb fat soluble vitamins like A, D, E, and K, which are all essential.

Enthusiasts should also be glad to note that burgers are actually a rich source of potassium, offering about 355 mg per 100 grams of serving. Potassium is essential in digestion, heart function, muscle contraction, nutrient absorption and the conduction of electrical impulses in the nervous system. In addition, they also offer five times more zinc than chicken, an essential nutrient that is involved in your metabolism. Now, according to literature, an increased amount of zinc intake can actually enhance testosterone levels in the body. And as a result, enhance the performance of athletes during sports events.

And then finally, there s choline another essential nutrient found more abundantly in beef that plays a number of important roles such as fat metabolism, liver damage protection and cell membrane production and vitamin B12, which facilitates the normal functioning of the brain and nervous system as well as the formation of blood (along with iron, which beef is known to be one of the highest source).

Beef has been unfairly judged for so long now and people seem to blindly accommodate false accusations because of fear. What they do not know is that they are actually allowing themselves to miss nutritional opportunities every time they turn down going into a hamburger restaurant. Beef, like everything else, is only a health threat if you go beyond the recommended amount. But if your lifestyle more than compensates for your regular diet of burgers, you don t have to fear the stipulated consequences.

Bodybuilding is not just about lugging it to the gym and lifting weights. An effective body building program involves training, bodybuilding diet and proper rest and recuperation. Now, here are some bodybuilding tips that can help:

A. Training Tips

1. Every strength training exercise must be performed using the correct technique. Following incorrect techniques causes muscle injury and does not result in any benefit.

2. Understand the importance of warming up. A 10-minute warm up flexes your body up and makes your muscles supple enough for the main job. So, do not ever neglect to warm up, and when you start on the main course, always start with the small weights.

3. Free weights like dumbbells and barbells work the best. They stimulate muscles faster and more effectively and get them ready to take on a higher load.

4. Do not overtrain. Overtraining actually reduces muscles and body strength. It causes sleeplessness and fatigue, adversely impacts the appetite, and causes your immunity levels to fall.

5. Set realistic training goals that can be achieved within a reasonable timeframe.

6. Understand your somatic type. There are 3 types of bodies. Ectomorphs are skinny people with lean muscles and long thin limbs; Mesomorphs are naturally strong people with a large bone structure and a naturally athletic body; Endomorphs are folks who put on weight easily. They are soft, short and have thick arms and legs. Ectomorphs have to work very hard, endomorphs too have to work hard and take extra special care of their diet, and mesomorphs have the best body that is suited for training. So, the lesson is that you must follow an exercise program that is right for your body type.

7. Make training fun by changing your secondary exercises after every 2 months.

B. Bodybuilding diet tips

1. All bodybuilders must eat well and more often. Top bodybuilding tips from experts advise trainers to eat 5-6 times a day because it forces the body into an anabolic mode. Bodybuilders must not miss meals.

2. Stay hydrated by drinking more water. Water flushes out the body s toxins.

3. Ectomorphs must ideally eat 19 calories/pound, mesomorphs 15 calories/pound and endomorphs must consume 12 calories/pound.

4. Use a somanabolic muscle enhancer nutrition program like Muscle Maximizer. Somanabolic Muscle Maximizer works by reconciling anabolic nutrition and muscle build-up with the body type. Following such solid programs can help result in pure muscle build-up minus the fat. You choose the exercise program based on your body type and the Muscle Maximizer works by allocating calories and nutrients based on your exercise program.

5. Eat a carbohydrate-laden meal before and after your workout. All meals must be had at regular meal times.

6. You can use dietary supplements, but most likely these would be covered by the Muscle Maximizer program.

C. Rest and recuperation bodybuilding tips

1. Resting is as important as bodybuilding. The muscles repair themselves when the body is at rest. Therefore, every body builder must get his 8 hours of sleep and that s mandatory and final.

2. The pituitary gland in the brain produces HGH (Human Growth Hormone) during sleep. HGH is responsible for our growth. It communicates with the cells in our body and repairs and motivates them. This is another reason why every bodybuilder must get adequate rest and sleep.

About the Author: To conclude, a perfect weight training program, bodybuilding diet and adequate rest are the key factors that can help you build a great body. These are the top bodybuilding tips assembled after interviewing many experts on

A simple tomato sandwich has around 240 calories. A teaspoon of table sugar has only 15 calories. To use up this small amount of energy, all you need do is sleep for 20 minutes or take 10 minutes styling your hair. Or just reading this article should burn up a spoonful. Add playing the piano for 10 minutes and taking a quick shower and you will have used up most of the calories from the table sugar the average person consumes in a day.

Why then is obesity on the increase and reaching epidemic proportions? The main cause of weight gain is a lack of perspective. Weight gain is a result of eating more food than we can use up living, laughing, loving and working. Put quite simply, no particular food can be singled out as the culprit, although it probably helps to point out that a gram of fat has twice the calories of a gram of table sugar. But it gets more interesting. An ever increasing body of scientific research on table sugar shows that some of it in the diet actually helps to curb cravings, helps prevent bingeing sessions and aids adherence to healthier, low fat diets.

Table sugar is just a natural carbohydrate, nothing more, nothing less. It is natures own sweetener, made up equally of fructose, and glucose. It has been used to make good food more palatable and fun for hundreds of years in exactly the same form as today.

Build a Better Breakfast

Before your next well balanced breakfast of oats and fresh fruit, ask yourself this, wheres the protein and fat? After all, with the exception of eggs and sausage, typical breakfast foods cereal, fruit, toast, pastries and juice provide you with almost nothing but carbohydrates, often in the form of sugar. That means more morning meals are highly unbalanced.

Most bodybuilders already know they need high quality protein the kind found in meat, eggs and dairy to nourish and build muscle. But fat is important at your morning meal too. Thats because, along with the protein, it slows the absorption of carbohydrates into your bloodstream, providing you with a steady supply of energy instead of a quick sugar rush (often followed by a sugar crash). And by keeping you full longer, this protein/fat combo can also help shrink your midsection.

In a recent study, researches found that when people had eggs for breakfast, they ate 1050 fewer kilojoules during the rest of the day than when they had a bagel instead. Of course, you dont need a written article to tell you how to make scrambled eggs. So here are some new ways to fill your belly, feed your muscles and energize your body first thing in the morning.

Toast with Tuna

Think of it this way. Youre simply trading high sugar jam for high protein tuna salad. Its easy to make ahead of time, and by tweaking the conventional recipe to include cranberries, you get a hint of jam sweetness.

1170 can solid tuna, in brine

2tbsp dried cranberries, roughly chopped

onion, minced

1 tbsp mayonnaise

2 tsp balsamic vinegar

Salt & pepper to taste

Mix all the ingredients together. Serve a scoop on a piece of toasted wholegrain bread. Makes 2 servings.

Berry High Protein Yoghurt

With this recipe, you control the ingredients, the manufacturer doesnt. And that means you can ensure its free of hard to avoid added sugar, while nearly having triple the protein of most ready to eat yoghurts.

450g plain yoghurt

2 cups fresh or frozen unsweetened mixed berries

4 scoops (about 80g) vanilla or strawberry whey-protein powder

Sweetener to taste (optional)

Line a two cup mesh strainer with a paper coffee filter and place it over a mixing bowl. Fill the filter with the yoghurt, cover with a clean cloth or waxed paper, and set the bowl (with strainer inside) in the fridge for several hours. Much of the liquid from the yoghurt will drain into the bowl, resulting in thicker yoghurt. In a blender, puree the berries along with the whey-protein powder and sweetener. Once the yoghurt has drained, place it in a large bowl and stir in the berry puree. Serve in one cup portions and store for up to three days. Makes 4 cups.

Almond Pecan Waffles

These high protein waffles boost the protein and fat intake, while dialing back the carbs. You can make almond flower by chopping slivered almonds in a food processor.

1 cup almond flour

cup finely chopped pecans

cup whey protein powder

1 tsp baking powder

110g low fat plain cream cheese, softened

6 eggs

cup whipping or fresh cream

While your waffle iron preheats, combine the almond flour, pecans, whey protein powder and baking powder in a small bowl. In another bowl, whisk the cream cheese and two eggs until smooth. Add the remaining eggs one at a time and whisk thoroughly after each. Mix in the cream, then stir in the dry ingredients. Spoon about a third of the cup of batter onto the hot waffle iron and cook for about three minutes, until golden brown. Top with low sugar syrup (recipe below), peanut butter or fresh fruit. To let them cool, place in a zip lock bag and freeze. When you ready to eat one, just pop it into the toaster. Makes about 6 18cm waffles.

Cottage Cheese Pancakes

These pancakes are not only packed with high quality protein, but also lighter and fluffier

than the classic versions. Serve with a bit of butter and five milliliters of low sugar syrup and cinnamon for each pancake. Using sugarlite cuts the kilojoules by nearly two thirds.

Low Sugar Syrup

500ml Sugarlite (Hulletts)

2/3 cup fat free milk

Combine ingredients in a pot, stir occasionally, bringing it to the boil. Stir continuously till it reaches the thread stage, remove from stove and pour over pancakes.

Pancakes

1 cup cottage cheese

2 eggs

cup of butter

cup milk

cup whole wheat flour

1 tbsp baking powder

1 tbsp sugar

1 tsp salt

tsp nutmeg (optional)

In a large bowl, stir together the cheese, eggs, butter and milk. Add the flour, baking powder, sugar, salt and nutmeg, and blend lightly until just mixed. Grease a griddle with cooking spray and place over medium heat. Put a large scoop of batter on the griddle and use the back of a spoon to spread it out evenly. The pancake is ready to flip when you begin to see small air bubbles form, about three to four minutes. Flip and cook for another minute or two. Makes about 12 10cm pancakes.

Mocha Custard

A 350ml frappuccino contains 44g sugar and a hefty dose of caffeine, but hardly any nutrients. And really, should you ever spend R15 on a glorified cup of coffee? Instead, try this custard alternative. It will provide you with a jolt of java, a 21g infusion of protein and a hefty dose of coconut fat, which contains a healthy type of saturated fat (called lauric acid) that boosts immunity.

1 430ml can coconut milk

2 cups strong coffee (regular or decaf)

3 eggs, beaten

3 scoops (about 60g) chocolate whey protein powder

Sweetener to taste

Pinch of salt

In a saucepan, combine the coconut milk, coffee, beaten eggs, whey protein powder, sweetener and salt. Whisk to mix well. Gently cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture begins to thicken and lightly coats the back of a spoon. Remove from the heat, pour into a covered pitcher, and cool quickly by placing the pitcher into an ice water bath until its half submerged. Serve chilled in one cup portions for a quick breakfast. Or blend it with crushed ice until smooth and thick for a frozen mocha treat. Makes 4 cups.
