On average, if we consume three meals a day, our bodies will provide about 2000 calories per day, with each main meal consuming about 667 calories. Therefore, if you only consume Chinese sausage for a full meal, you would need about 10 links, equivalent to 1700 calories.
With a relatively high calorie content in Chinese sausage, it is safe to say that excessive consumption can lead to weight gain.
