Calorie content of mushrooms

Today, on the shelves of stores, despite the time of the year, you can always find a variety of mushrooms. However, many girls who are dieting or watching a figure are wondering whether it is possible to eat mushrooms while eating, if so, what kind of preparation they should prefer. Let's figure it out.

Composition and calorie content of mushrooms

It is worth noting that not all mushrooms are equally useful. So, nutritionists usually subdivide all forest mushrooms into 4 groups according to the degree of nutritional value.

  1. The first include mushrooms, redheads, and white mushrooms. They contain the greatest amount of all useful trace elements and the most balanced are fats, proteins and carbohydrates .
  2. The second type includes podberozoviki, oily, oak, podsinoviki, freckles, Polish mushroom, aspen mushrooms.
  3. To the third - goat, serushki, russula, chanterelles, mushrooms, morels, mosses.
  4. To the fourth - krasnushki, svinushki, oyster mushrooms, ryadoviki and so on.

Of course, this classification is conditional, since the composition depends not only on the species of the fungus, but also on the method of its preparation. The main mineral substances that are contained in the fungi are calcium, potassium and phosphorus, the content of the latter in this product roughly equal to the fish. The maximum amount of all useful substances is contained in white mushrooms, a little less in gingerbread. If we talk about the calorific value of forest fungi, then the minimum energy value contains a line and honey agarics (22 and 29 kcal per 100 g respectively). The maximum caloric content is white fungus, poderezozovik and boletus (40, 36 and 35 kcal per 100 g respectively). Caloric content of salted mushrooms does not differ significantly from fresh ones, however, when dried, it changes.

Caloric content of dried mushrooms

The caloric content of dry mushrooms is significantly different from the fresh analogue. So, for example, in fresh chanterelles the energy value is 30 kcal per 100 g, while in the dried form it is already 261 kcal. And so it is with all the mushrooms: a fresh podberezovik contains 36 calories per 100 grams, dried - 231 kcal. That's why nutritionists are advised to use any mushrooms in boiled or marinated. For those who sit watching their figurative it is completely unacceptable to eat fried mushrooms . Despite the fact that the content of useful substances in such mushrooms is slightly different from the fresh variant, they absorb too much oil, which certainly leads to weight gain.
