As for northern rice dumplings or southern rice dumplings, which one has more calories? What precautions should be taken when eating? Dietitian Gao Minmin said that “Northern Zong” is made by frying glutinous rice with oil in advance. Although it is full of aroma, it is also high in calories, especially the filling ingredients such as egg yolks, pork belly, etc., which are the key to affecting the calories; a salty one Egg yolk alone has about 125 calories, so you are more likely to eat too many calories than southern rice dumplings.
The cooking method of “Southern Zong” is mainly boiling, which has lower calories. However, if high-calorie or high-fat ingredients such as braised pork and peanut powder are added, the calories will increase. Also calculated based on 210 grams, the calories of northern rice dumplings are about 518 calories; the calories of southern rice dumplings are 477 calories. Although the calories of northern rice dumplings are slightly higher, there is not much difference between the two. They are both types of rice dumplings that need to be tasted briefly and should not be eaten too much.
“Vegetarian rice dumplings” are not actually lower in calories? 1 flavor contains dietary fiber and is “less bloating”
“Vegetarian rice dumplings” specially designed for vegetarians, are they actually lower in calories? Nutritionist Gao Minmin pointed out that soy protein is often used to replace meat in vegetarian rice dumplings, but 210 grams of vegetarian rice dumplings have 480 calories, which is almost the same as southern rice dumplings, so vegetarians should not take it lightly. Hakka rice dumplings (80 grams) contain 172 calories and are relatively low in calories. However, due to the small portion, it is easy to eat one after another, and the calories increase accordingly.

Alkaline rice dumplings (100g) 136 calories: This is a favorite of many gourmets. Although it seems to be quite low in calories, most of them add honey or fructose, and a tablespoon of sugar adds about 47 calories.
Crystal rice dumplings (145g) 175 calories: The calories of various crystal rice dumplings on the market range from about 150-250 calories due to different fillings. The sweet filling contains about 25g of refined sugar (5 sugar cubes). Those who are worried about getting a “puff figure” or are in the weight loss stage should just taste it lightly.

Dietitian Gao Minmin adds that the Taiwan Ministry of Health and Welfare recommends that the intake of added sugars in the daily diet should not exceed 10% of the total calories, and it is better if it can be controlled below 5%. Based on an adult’s daily intake of 2,000 calories, the daily intake of added sugar should be less than 25-50 grams. One bean paste rice dumpling is more than half of the intake.
