Summer nutritional dietary advice

Overview

Nutrition experts have provided guidance on selecting healthier food options for summer meals and appetizers. To avoid high caloric content, excessive sugar, and low-quality fats found in industrial sauces, experts recommend homemade alternatives.

Dietitian Sergio Frutos advises caution with commercial sauces that may use refined oils instead of extra virgin olive oil or contain high levels of salt and sugar. For lighter textures, using ingredients like yogurt, Greek yogurt, or blended cheese is suggested as a lower-calorie substitute for heavy oils. If a sauce requires thinning, adding water, broth, or juice is preferable to adding more fat.

Regarding appetizers, the ‘gilda’—a combination of stuffed olives, piparra peppers, and anchovies—is highlighted as a nutritious choice. Nutritionist Victoria Belda notes that this snack provides high-quality proteins from anchovies and healthy fats from olives, while remaining low in carbohydrates and offering a satiating effect.

Expanding on summer dietary management, nutritionist and pharmacist Amil López Viéitez suggests that while vacations do not inherently require poor eating habits, the loss of routine often leads to less healthy choices. He identifies common issues such as altered meal schedules, increased dining out, and higher consumption of alcohol, snacks, and ice cream. Viéitez emphasizes that the primary concern is the cumulative effect of these excesses over several weeks rather than individual special meals. He notes that while heat can influence appetite, high temperatures may actually decrease the desire for fatty foods, recommending refreshing options like water and fruit to maintain nutritional balance.
