The ability to count the caloric content of dishes will allow not to exceed standard daily rate of the consumed energy. Thanks to it it is possible to control the weight or to lose extra kilos without diets.
It is required to you
- Calculator, notebook, handle, table of caloric content, electronic kitchen scales.
Instruction
1. Calculation of calories is a good way not to gather extra kilos or to dump them if they already are. But for this purpose it is necessary to undertake every time before food the handle and a notebook. On packing of products the caloric content is always written. If you aren't sure of caloric content, don't buy such products. For the woman the minimum daily caloric content – 1200 kcal, and for men - 1800 kcal. If daily to consume no more this value, then weight will gradually leave. As a matter of fact, this first and basic rule for those who want to reduce the weight of the body without application of sports exercises.
2. At first it is necessary to learn to count the caloric content of simple dishes. Candies, dumplings, cookies – what can be counted on pieces belong to simple dishes. For example, having bought 100 grams of candies, read their caloric content on packing. Then it is necessary to count candies in packing and to divide the caloric content of 100 grams into amount of candies. So you learn the caloric content of each candy. It is also possible to calculate the caloric content of dumplings and any other products. Count the caloric content of often used products and write down them in a notebook on the future.
3. It isn't so simple to count the caloric content of difficult dishes. In a notebook write down the name of a dish (for example, chicken soup) and all ingredients which will be present at soup or hot. Then all products need to be weighed on scales and to increase by their quantity in a dish. Don't forget to write the caloric content of vegetable oil, sour cream, mayonnaise and other ingredients which serve as gas station or additive.
4. Caloric content of a ready portion is measured as follows: at first weigh an empty plate and write down its weight. Then put food in it and again weigh. Subtract plate weight, and the net weight of food as a result will turn out. So you will be able to learn the caloric content of one portion. Always count and write down the caloric content of dishes which often you cook. All dishes will be written down soon, and it isn't necessary to consider, will be to look in a notebook enough.
5. To learn how many calories in one spoon, shift a dish from one pan in another and count the number of spoons. Put one spoon of a ready-to-eat meal in a plastic bag and weigh it. Divide the caloric content of all dish into the number of spoons. So you can consider dish caloric content without plate or, being in restaurant or on a visit, you will know approximate caloric content.
