Comedian Kim Shin-young recommends alternatives to chicken breast

Comedian Kim Shin-young recommended squid as an alternative protein source while discussing actor Cha Woo-min’s chicken-breast routine on MBC’s I Live Alone on Oct. 23. Kim said she had lost 44 kilograms and claimed squid has more protein than chicken breast. Nutrition figures cited in the article show that raw chicken breast has more protein per 100 grams, while squid is low in calories and fat. The article also advises limiting cheese portions and using cooking oil and seasonings sparingly when managing weight.

A 28-gram serving of hard cheese contains approximately 120 calories and 8 grams of protein.

Raw, skinless, boneless chicken breast contains about 22.5 grams of protein per 100 grams, compared with about 15.6 grams in raw squid.

A 100-gram serving of raw squid contains about 92 calories, 1.4 grams of fat and 233 milligrams of cholesterol.

The article says protein figures can vary by species and product, and that drying or cooking changes protein per unit of weight by reducing moisture.

Comedian Kim Shin-young shared an unexpected protein source as one of her dieting tips.

On the Oct. 23 episode of MBC’s “I Live Alone,” actor Cha Woo-min, who has lived alone for seven years, appeared on the show and shared a glimpse of his daily routine. To bulk up, Cha prepares chicken breast with olive oil and seasoned salt and roasted it in an oven. “I eat only chicken breast like this for breakfast almost every day,” he said.

After watching him, Kim advised, “You can sprinkle cheese on that, too. Even if cheese contains fat, eating cheese alone won’t make you gain weight. It’s really good for bulking up.”

Kian84 responded with a laugh, saying, “Of course you’ll gain weight. You’re talking nonsense.” Kim countered, “I’m someone who has lost 44 kilograms myself.”

She went on to recommend squid, saying, “Squid has more protein than chicken breast. You should eat squid.”

Kian84 questioned the suggestion, saying, “Why would you eat squid? I’ve never heard of anyone bulking up with squid.” Kim stood her ground, replying, “It’s just expensive, but I’m telling you, it’s true.”

Kim previously made headlines after losing weight f and maintaining her weight loss for 14 years.

Cheese provides protein and calcium, but it is also calorie-dense, even in small portions. Just 28 grams of hard cheese contains approximately 120 calories and 8 grams of protein. Adding cheese to chicken breast increases the meal’s calorie content accordingly.

There is no need to eliminate cheese entirely while dieting. Instead, pay attention to the type and amount consumed. Choose protein sources that are lower in fat and calories, such as low-fat or fat-free cheese. When adding cheese to other dishes, check the nutrition label and use only a small amount to enhance the flavor. Reducing the amount of cooking oil or high-calorie sauces can also help offset the additional calories.

For adding flavor without using cheese, try seasonings such as black pepper or basil. A little lemon juice is another option.

Whether squid contains more protein than chicken breast depends on the conditions of the comparison. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s food and nutrition database, 100 grams of raw, skinless, boneless chicken breast contains approximately 22.5 grams of protein. Raw squid contains about 15.6 grams per 100 grams, meaning chicken breast provides roughly 7 grams more protein by weight under these conditions.

The figures may vary depending on the species and product. Drying or cooking also reduces moisture content, changing the amount of protein per unit of weight. Therefore, comparing dried squid with raw chicken breast has limitations.

Squid is still a good protein source for weight management. A 100-gram serving of raw squid contains about 92 calories and 1.4 grams of fat. It also provides vitamin B12 and selenium. Chicken breast is a convenient way to obtain more protein from the same weight of food, while squid offers variety and is low in fat.

However, squid is not necessarily low in cholesterol. It contains approximately 233 milligrams of cholesterol per 100 grams.

Cooking methods matter regardless of which protein source you choose. Deep-frying or adding large amounts of butter and sweet sauces can significantly increase calorie content. For weight management, it is best to use oil and seasonings sparingly.

10月23日，在MBC综艺节目《我独自生活》中，喜剧演员金信英在讨论演员车宇民的“鸡胸肉减肥法”时，推荐鱿鱼作为蛋白质的替代来源。金信英表示自己已经减重44公斤，并声称鱿鱼的蛋白质含量比鸡胸肉更高。文章引用的营养数据显示，每100克生鸡胸肉的蛋白质含量更高，而鱿鱼的热量和脂肪含量都很低。文章还建议，减肥时应限制奶酪的摄入量，并少用食用油和调味料。

28克硬质奶酪约含120卡路里和8克蛋白质。

生的去皮去骨鸡胸肉每 100 克含有约 22.5 克蛋白质，而生鱿鱼每 100 克含有约 15.6 克蛋白质。

100克生鱿鱼含有约92卡路里、1.4克脂肪和233毫克胆固醇。

文章指出，蛋白质含量会因物种和产品而异，干燥或烹饪会通过减少水分来改变单位重量的蛋白质含量。

喜剧演员金申英分享了一种意想不到的蛋白质来源，作为她的减肥秘诀之一。

在10月23日播出的MBC综艺节目《我独自生活》中，独居七年的演员车宇民做客节目，分享了他的日常生活。为了补充能量，车宇民会用橄榄油和调味盐腌制鸡胸肉，然后放入烤箱烤制。“我几乎每天早餐都只吃这样的鸡胸肉。”他说道。

看完他的做法后，金建议道：“你也可以在上面撒些奶酪。即使奶酪含有脂肪，单独吃奶酪也不会让你长胖。它对增肌真的很有好处。”

Kian84笑着回应道：“你当然会胖，你在胡说八道。” Kim反驳道：“我自己就减掉了44公斤。”

她接着推荐了鱿鱼，说：“鱿鱼的蛋白质含量比鸡胸肉高。你应该吃鱿鱼。”

Kian84质疑这个说法，说道：“为什么要吃鱿鱼？我从没听说过有人靠吃鱿鱼增肌。” Kim坚持己见，回答说：“只是贵而已，但我告诉你，这是真的。”

金·卡戴珊此前曾因减肥成功并保持减肥成果长达14年而成为新闻头条。

奶酪富含蛋白质和钙，但即使少量食用，其热量也很高。仅28克硬质奶酪就含有约120卡路里和8克蛋白质。因此，在鸡胸肉中加入奶酪会相应地增加这道菜的热量。

减肥期间无需完全戒掉奶酪。相反，应该注意奶酪的种类和摄入量。选择低脂肪、低热量的蛋白质来源，例如低脂或脱脂奶酪。在其他菜肴中添加奶酪时，请查看营养标签，并少量添加以提升风味。减少食用油或高热量酱汁的用量也有助于抵消额外的热量。

如果不想用奶酪来增添风味，可以试试黑胡椒或罗勒等调味料。加一点柠檬汁也是个不错的选择。

鱿鱼的蛋白质含量是否高于鸡胸肉，取决于比较条件。根据美国农业部食品营养数据库，100克生的去皮去骨鸡胸肉约含22.5克蛋白质。生鱿鱼每100克约含15.6克蛋白质，这意味着在上述条件下，鸡胸肉的蛋白质含量（按重量计）比鱿鱼高出约7克。

不同品种和产品的具体数值可能有所不同。干燥或烹饪也会降低水分含量，从而改变单位重量的蛋白质含量。因此，将干鱿鱼与生鸡胸肉进行比较存在局限性。

鱿鱼仍然是体重管理中优质的蛋白质来源。100克生鱿鱼含有约92卡路里和1.4克脂肪，还富含维生素B12和硒。鸡胸肉是获取相同重量食物中更多蛋白质的便捷方式，而鱿鱼则提供了多样化的选择，且脂肪含量低。

然而，鱿鱼的胆固醇含量并不一定低。每100克鱿鱼大约含有233毫克胆固醇。

无论选择哪种蛋白质来源，烹饪方法都至关重要。油炸或添加大量黄油和甜酱汁会显著增加热量。为了控制体重，最好少量使用油和调味料。
