The first rule is very nice and touches things caloric which equates to zero. This green and black tea (note that fruit teas in this category do not fall, unless it drinks perfumed), mineral water, salt, most of the spices. Do not forget that sugar is not one of them.
Counting calories does not have to turn into a manic calculation. In fact, from what you are rejected in one way or another on the desired calorie diet, nothing will change. But only on one condition: You must remember this and know. All embedded in your subconscious mind, and if you worry about once allowing yourself to a cup of natural yogurt, you get better with him.
But allow yourself to indulge occasionally cake and "let go" is not confined to the experience, you will not feel weight gain. With regard to counting calories, this pattern is as follows: counting calories, fix and this figure is used to calculate in the future, and not only for re-prepared, but also for when you try this dish at a party.
Note that the calorie products heat treated differs from the raw state. This is because in the process of frying and cooking food volume changes. Thus, on average during cooking meat loses 20% of its caloric content. But if you want to know exactly the number of calories you must first weigh the product in raw form, and then after treatment. The same amount of calories will come from a different mass.
This only applies to meat and fish products. Thus, when baked, they lose mass apples through its juice and, therefore, lose the caloric content. Thus, the number of calories per 100 gram is the same, changing only the weight of the finished product.
For proper counting calories required to consider that 20% of the oil used for frying, the product is absorbed, with the consequent effect on the final digit. The remaining 80% evaporate, burn up and remain in the initial state in the pan. However, this does not apply to cases where you prepare dishes with sauce, then it is necessary to take into account all the added calorie oil.
An important rule concerns the measurement of calorie cereals. The packages are usually (if not serving size is negotiated separately), give the number corresponding to the weight of the product in dry form. When cooking grits swells. Accordingly, 30 grams of dried pasta you get about 100 grams of cooked, and caloric this portion of the order of 110 Kc. Munk swell to 10 times, Fig - somewhere in the three times.
Calorie complex dishes better to count with the help of special computer programs. If you can not take advantage of them, the following Steps: If you cook the soup, first count the total caloric value of all the ingredients that enter into it. After the end of the cooking process weigh the resulting product. To learn caloric 100 grams, divide the weight of the original calorie soup. Pre-weigh pan to know her weight without soup. This same method can be used for other complex dishes with the already mentioned properties of the products: changes in the volume of products, boiling water, oil absorption, etc.
