As U.S. President Trump returned to the White House, the Oval Office desk had a red button again. It's "Colla button". Trump is famous for being a cola lover. Trump, who doesn't drink, toasts with cola instead of alcohol at a state dinner.

During the previous administration, he reportedly drank about 12 cups of cola a day. Of course, it's zero cola, but you're drinking soda like water at the age of your late 70s.

Trump's "childish taste" doesn't stop there. Many people remember the moment when U.S. President Trump worked as a McDonald's part-timer during the last presidential campaign.

At the time, Trump is known to like fast food to the extent that he said, "I wanted to do this all my life." I often eat hamburgers, chicken nuggets, and pizza, and I also like chips such as potato chips and pretzels.

The same goes for his rival, former President Biden. Biden also often ate ice cream and snacks. The two figures, who were opposite in career and politics, were in one mind in front of the snack.

But their bodies are very different. Biden is 182 centimeters tall and Trump is 190 centimeters tall. They look similar when they stand side by side, but the weight difference is not small. Biden is about 80kg, but Trump is about 110kg. The difference is striking when you look at the picture of the two characters together. Biden looks like a slender grandfather, Trump feels like a 'big man'.

Trump was actually declared obese in 2019. At the time, the White House doctor said Trump's body mass index (BMI) was 30.4. Usually, the body mass index is judged to be overweight from 25 and obese from 30. Both love snacking, why is Trump the only one obese.

The answer lies in the diet. What you usually eat has a greater impact on your body and health than snacks. Biden was introduced to like a salad with grilled chicken for lunch during his presidency.

Grilled chicken, which is eaten a lot by Koreans on a diet, is 190 kcal per 100g, which is considered a representative food of low-calorie high-protein.

On the other hand, Trump's usual diet was also ultra-calorie. The hamburgers and pizzas he enjoyed for his meals exceed 1,000 kcal per meal. In addition, Trump ate a lot of chocolate cakes or ice cream with chocolate chips for dessert, which are also typical of gaining weight.

If you ate a hamburger set and then a chocolate cake, you ate a total of 1,300 kcal per meal. It is half of the recommended daily adult calories.

What is as important as calories are the ingredients of food. Even if you eat the same amount of calories, you gain weight depending on whether you eat carbohydrates, protein, or fat. Protein, the main component of muscles, does not gain weight even if you eat a lot, but carbohydrates and fats, which are used to store energy, are stored in the body one by one.

"Fast food has nearly 40% fat compared to calories, making it easy for triglycerides to accumulate in the body, which can lead to obesity," said Lee Seon-ho, director of the 365mc Global Daejeon Hospital. "Especially if you eat a lot of desserts with a high proportion of carbohydrates, you can build up visceral fat and cause diseases such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and angina."

No matter how hard-working the US president is, it seems that he has not been able to burn this much carbohydrates and fat. If you work less than the president of the United States, you'd better cut back on fast food.
