Proper nutrition is impossible without calculating the energy value of the diet. For example, an adult needs from 2000 to 3000 kcal per day, depending on his type of activity. In fact, working in an office and working in a coal mine involve different physical efforts. In order not to exceed the recommended daily allowance of 2000 kcal and thereby not gain excess weight, it is recommended to know the calorie content of meals. The calorie table of soups, main courses, fast food and desserts is presented in our article.

How much does borscht “weigh”

So, a full meal is not complete without a first course. As a rule, housewives cook soups with meat or fish broth, with the addition of vegetables, cereals and other ingredients. Their energy value is low, most importantly, make sure that too much sour cream or mayonnaise is not added to the dish when serving. Here is the first calorie tabledishes:

First courses, calories

Borscht	49

Soup "Kharcho"	75

Lean cabbage soup from fresh cabbage	31
Ear	46
Vegetable soup with meat broth	43
Rassolnik	42

The above is the exact calorie content of the dishes. The calorie table includes the most popular soups. The only thing is that the energy value is given per 100 grams of the finished product, and if you consider that there are 300 or even 400 grams in one serving, feel free to multiply the number of calories by 3 or 4. Therefore, it is best to eat first courses at lunch or dinner, but in very small quantities. This does not apply to soups with vegetable broth or, for example, okroshka without meat or sausage.

Calorie table of cooked meals: what do we eat for the "second"

For lunch, the second dish is most often served by housewives as a side dish - rice, buckwheat, other cereals - and something meat or fish. It can also be a salad or sauce.

Here, count the calorie content of dishes. The calorie table, we repeat, is calculated for 100 grams of the product. That is, your full-fledged second course with a side dish will “pull” at least 500 kcal. Therefore, for those who are on a diet or simply do not want to dine so tightly, it is better to limit the main meal to soup and salad. Because most of the calories in our diet come from meat dishes, which, of course, are very difficult to refuse - they are painfully tasty.

How to reduce the calorie content of meals: useful tips

So, you have decided to adhere to the principles of proper nutrition and do not exceed the calorie content of your diet. Here are some tips on how to make the dish a little “lighter” in terms of energy value. First, cook soups in chicken or beef broth. Also suitable for fish. Of course, soup cooked on a pork bone is tasty, but very high in calories. Second courses are best cooked in a double boiler or on the grill, baked or, in extreme cases, fried with a minimum amount of oil. Instead of pork, offer lamb or veal for the second, you can also chicken or turkey - there are not too many calories, and again the taste is excellent. And do not season salads with mayonnaise! For vegetables, low-fat sour cream or natural yogurt, dressing with lemon juice or balsamic vinegar are perfect. But it is better to refuse fast food altogether.
