Wday.ru found out from a nutritionist why the main delicacy of the week is useful and unhelpful.
Shrovetide is sweeping across Russia and gaining momentum: the largest-scale eating of pancakes will take place, of course, on the weekend, when no work can be distracted from this activity. But is such a wild week useful? Great Lent, in which you need to give up a lot of high-calorie things, will not harm your figure, but you can easily get better from a slide of pancakes. Wday.ru learned from a nutritionist how not to overeat in order to come up slim and beautiful by the beginning of spring.
– Pancakes, of course, cannot be called a diet food, but they can be included in the diet of a healthy diet. They, as a rule, consist of flour, eggs, water or milk, and their calorie content depends solely on us, on how much oil we add – to the dough or when frying in a frying pan. And, of course, it depends on which filling we choose. If we choose low-fat cottage cheese or minced meat, then such pancakes can even become a healthy breakfast, because they will contain both protein (cottage cheese or meat) and carbohydrate components. Protein will provide us with building materials, carbohydrates – energy. It’s another matter if we gorge on pancakes at night, it will be harmful for the figure, – the expert continues. – As for the Maslenitsa week itself, then it is appropriate to recall the traditions: these days it is customary to move actively, to participate in various activities that contribute to burning calories. And all this in the cold – that is, in the old days, people that they absorbed, then in terms of calories and spent. If you follow the measure, then pancakes can be included in your diet. With the filling, you can eat two or three pancakes at a time, without the filling, three to four are quite acceptable.
