The festive season is a time for reunion dinners, laughter, and an abundance of delicious snacks. However, as we indulge in the treats that make Chinese New Year special, many of us also worry about the calories that come along with them. Don’t fret—we’ve got you covered! With the right bike and some pedaling, you can enjoy your favorite snacks guilt-free. Let’s dive into how you can balance festive indulgence with fun and fitness.
Top 3 High-Calorie Chinese New Year Snacks
Here’s a quick look at some beloved Chinese New Year treats that pack quite a calorie punch:
Bak Kwa
This barbecued delight is a favorite among Chinese families. Its sweet, smoky flavor is renowned, but it’s also calorie-heavy. Just 100 grams of bak kwa contains a whopping 370 calories. To burn that off, you’d need to cycle for approximately 1 hour at a moderate pace. So, enjoy it sparingly and pedal away those calories afterward!
Pineapple Tarts
Small but full of flavor and calories, these buttery treats are a staple at every Chinese New Year gathering. Each tart contains about 93 calories, which can add up quickly if you’re not careful. Remember, moderation is key—or be prepared to spend extra time on your bike seat!
Pineapple Cakes
Similar to tarts but slightly larger, these sweet delights come in at 82 calories per piece. If you indulge in two, that’s 30 minutes of cycling to burn them off. Keep your rides steady and enjoy these cakes guilt-free!
