As a Dietitian, the most common question I get asked during this season is: “Will eating Eid meat increase my cholesterol or weight?” The short answer: The problem isn’t the meat itself—it’s the portion sizes and the way we cook it! Qurbani meat is incredibly rich in high-quality protein, iron, and Vitamin B12, which are essential for your energy levels and muscle health. However, overindulging or deep-frying it in heavy ghee can lead to digestive issues, weight gain, and high cholesterol spikes.
Here is your quick clinical guide to eating smart this Eid:
✅ Portion Control: Stick to 80-100g for women and 100-120g for men per meal.
✅ Trim the Fat: Always remove visible white fat before cooking.
✅ The 50% Rule: Fill half your plate with fresh, colorful salad to aid digestion.
✅ Stay Hydrated: Swap the fizzy cold drinks for mint, cucumber, or lemon-infused water.
عید الاضحیٰ پر سب سے بڑا سوال: کیا قربانی کا گوشت صحت کے لیے نقصان دہ ہے؟
حقیقت یہ ہے کہ گوشت خود نقصان دہ نہیں ہے، بلکہ ہمارے پکانے کا طریقہ اور ضرورت سے زیادہ کھانا مسائل پیدا کرتا ہے۔ اس عید پر اعتدال برقرار رکھیں، چربی اتار کر پکائیں، اور اپنے کھانے میں سلاد کا استعمال لازمی کریں!
