Dumplings are a favorite of many fast food dishes, which is ideal for quickly satisfying a strong hunger. At present, this is perhaps one of the most popular semi-finished products, despite the fact that there are still only lovers of home-made dumplings. From this article you will find out what calorie dumplings are and how safe they are for the figure.
Calorie content of different types of dumplings per 100 grams
For those who follow the figure, but at the same time very fond of pelmeni, there is no consoling news: dieticians still believe that the combination of dough with meat is the most difficult for digestion. In addition, neither in the test of premium flour, nor in meat, there is no useful fiber , which creates difficulties for the intestines. In addition, the calorie content of almost any pelmeni is very high. This is clearly not the best choice for those who want to maintain harmony, and even less to lose weight.
A portion of dumplings is a concept for everyone. Someone does not eat more than 10 things, and someone - 25-30. The weight of one pelmeni, depending on the size - 12-15 g, and therefore 100 grams of dumplings - it's about 6 - 8 pieces. So, by simple calculations, you can find out the calorie content of your standard portion of dumplings.
The caloric content of beef ravioli is 275 kcal per 100 g. Thus, a serving of 12 to 16 dumplings will have 550 calories, which is about half the daily norm for a slender or slimming woman. Of all the popular types of dumplings, this is perhaps the easiest option.
Pork dumplings with caloric content around 285 kcal per 100 g are equally popular. Do not forget that each manufacturer adds different components to the product - fat, onion, soy, etc., so the information on the package will help to specify the data.
Less popular, but lighter chicken dumplings have a calorie content of 210 kcal. But even in a portion of such pelmeni from 12 to 16 pieces will be 420 kcal. Even this option is not suitable for a thin person's menu.
Consider the calorie content of boiled dumplings with rarer fillings:
- Dumplings with mushroom filling - 100 kcal;
- dumplings with chicken filling with the addition of cheese - 250 kcal;
- dumplings with lean fish - 252 kcal;
- dumplings with "home-made" stuffing (beef and pork) - 260 kcal;
- Dumplings with mutton ground meat - 290 kcal.
Caloric content of pelmeni must be calculated by yourself, taking into account the energy value of all used products and their quantity. Each mistress has her own secrets, so you can get the exact figure only if you calculate your prescription. Tentatively you can look at the indicators given above.
Caloric content of fried dumplings
And without that heavy pelmeni can be made even more high-calorie, if fry them in oil or deep-fried. This will add about 50 - 150 calories to the total calorie content of the ready meal. Accordingly, the fatter the filling, and the more oil used during frying, the higher will be the total nutritional value of the dish, and the less it will be suitable for those who watch the figure. Moreover, if you bake dumplings with cheese, or serve them with sour cream or butter, you will also increase their caloric content by at least 50 - 100 units.
Who can not eat dumplings?
Dumplings have a lot of fans ready to include this dish almost in the daily diet. However, there are several categories of people who should rarely eat dumplings, if not entirely excluded:
- patients with diabetes mellitus;
- people who are obese or just overweight;
- people of advanced age;
- people with diseases of the pancreas, kidneys or gallbladder;
- patients with ulcer;
- people experiencing an exacerbation of cardiovascular diseases.
In order not to provoke problems with health and excess weight, do not eat dumplings more than a few times a month. This is not a dietary dish, suitable for every day, but a serious strain on all internal organs.
