Meat consumption overtakes grain consumption for first time in Taiwan
2023-10-20
Taiwan is becoming increasingly carnivorous, according to data from the Ministry of Agriculture. In 2022, people in Taiwan ate an average of 87.5 kilograms of meat. For the first time ever, meat intake overtook grain consumption, which stood at an average of 87.5 kilograms.
A surge of interest in fitness and weight loss has brought about significant changes to people’s diets, which now feature less rice and more animal protein. Nutritionists warn that, for people with high blood pressure and lipids, consuming only meat and forgoing whole grains and root vegetables can pose a significant health risk. A good way to boost protein intake without meat is to choose plant-based options like legumes. Or alternatively, eggs and fish. If you must eat meat, experts advise choosing white meat over red.

少澱粉、多肉促減肥? 營養師籲三高病友勿跟風

根據農業部最新統計，台灣人去年每人平均肉類攝取量達87.5公斤，超越每人平均穀類年攝取量的87.4公斤，是國人肉類攝取量首度超越穀類。
近年來健身風潮及減肥需求，帶動民眾飲食習慣大改變，有些人傾向少吃飯、多吃肉補充蛋白質。但營養師提醒，若高血壓、高血脂這些族只吃肉，不吃全穀根莖，對他們的健康危害是相當的大。若想多攝取蛋白質，應以植物性的蛋白質為主，豆類、蛋、魚類較肉類佳，至於肉類，白肉優於紅肉。
