Jamal added that pastrami may cause an imaginary increase in body weight when consumed in large quantities, and the reason is due to its high salt content, which makes it a prohibited food for patients with high blood pressure.
The clinical nutritionist explained that the excess salts that a person gets when eating excessive pastrami leads to a rise in sodium in the blood, and thus fluid retention in the body.

Calories in pastrami
It is worth noting that the calories in pastrami are about 174 calories per 100 grams, according to the US Department of Agriculture.
According to the “Nutritionix” website, pastrami is characterized by its high protein content, which helps to feel full for long hours, build and strengthen muscles, and raise the body fat burning rate.
However, one must be careful not to waste too much processed meat, especially pastrami, not only because of its high salt content, but also because it contains saturated fats, which lead to high cholesterol, which poses a great risk to cardiovascular health, according to Livestrong.
