Beef cutlets (1 piece - 85 gr) rich in vitamins and minerals such as: vitamin B6 - 15.5%, vitamin B12 - 55.9%, vitamin PP - 19.8%, potassium - 12.1%, phosphorus - 21.4%, iron - 14, 6%, selenium - 24.2%, zinc - 34.9%

Benefits of Beef cutlets (1 piece - 85 gr)

• Vitamin B6 participates in the maintenance of the immune response, the processes of inhibition and excitation in the central nervous system, in the transformation of amino acids, the metabolism of tryptophan, lipids and nucleic acids, contributes to the normal formation of red blood cells, maintaining a normal level of homocysteine ​​in the blood. Inadequate intake of vitamin B6 is accompanied by a decrease in appetite, a violation of the condition of the skin, the development of homocysteinemia, anemia.
• Vitamin B12 plays an important role in the metabolism and transformations of amino acids. Folate and vitamin B12 are interrelated vitamins involved in hematopoiesis. A lack of vitamin B12 leads to the development of partial or secondary folate deficiency, as well as anemia, leukopenia, and thrombocytopenia.
• Vitamin PP participates in redox reactions of energy metabolism. Inadequate vitamin intake is accompanied by a violation of the normal state of the skin, gastrointestinal tract and nervous system.
• Potassium is the main intracellular ion involved in the regulation of water, acid and electrolyte balance, is involved in the processes of nerve impulses, pressure regulation.
• Phosphorus takes part in many physiological processes, including energy metabolism, regulates acid-base balance, is part of phospholipids, nucleotides and nucleic acids, is necessary for the mineralization of bones and teeth. Deficiency leads to anorexia, anemia, rickets.
• Iron is a part of proteins of various functions, including enzymes. Participates in the transport of electrons, oxygen, ensures the occurrence of redox reactions and activation of peroxidation. Insufficient consumption leads to hypochromic anemia, myoglobin deficiency atony of skeletal muscles, increased fatigue, myocardiopathy, atrophic gastritis.
• Selenium- an essential element of the antioxidant defense system of the human body, has an immunomodulatory effect, is involved in the regulation of the action of thyroid hormones. Deficiency leads to Kashin-Bek's disease (osteoarthritis with multiple deformities of the joints, spine and limbs), Keshan's disease (endemic myocardiopathy), and hereditary thrombasthenia.
• Zinc is part of more than 300 enzymes, is involved in the synthesis and breakdown of carbohydrates, proteins, fats, nucleic acids and in the regulation of the expression of a number of genes. Insufficient intake leads to anemia, secondary immunodeficiency, liver cirrhosis, sexual dysfunction, and fetal malformations. Recent studies have revealed the ability of high doses of zinc to disrupt the absorption of copper and thereby contribute to the development of anemia.

A complete guide to the most useful products you can see in the application

For those people who are forced to constantly monitor their weight and control the energy value of each product, it is important to know how many calories are in a cutlet. After all, sometimes you really want to give yourself the opportunity to deviate from the principles of the diet.

Meatball calorie content

It is no secret that the content of fats in it will depend on the type of meat. You can cook them from pork, veal, chicken, etc. So, pork is a rather heavy meat for the body, and therefore cutlets from it will be more high-calorie than from veal. One hundred grams of pork cutlets contains 335 kcal. the product is: fat - 28.4 g, proteins - 14.52, carbohydrates - 8.4 g. But veal will be somewhat "lighter" and its indicator is equal to 234 kilocalories. At the same time, fats in cutlets will be 22.38 g, and proteins - 18.11 g.

Many people prefer to treat themselves to liver cutlets, which have a special taste and do not contain as much fat. If you use the recipe without adding fat, then liver cutlets have a calorie content of no more than 199 kcal per hundred grams of the finished dish. The energy value of the product: fats - 7.39 g, proteins - 16.76 g, and carbohydrates - 7.56 g. It is worth paying attention to the fact that using a minimum amount of oil or fat for frying will significantly reduce these figures.

Calorie cabbage cutlets

Those girls who are very scrupulous about their figure should pay attention to diet cutlets from white cabbage. They contain a minimum amount of kilocalories, but at the same time they have excellent taste. 100 grams of cutlet contains 130 kcal. Fats are reduced in them to 8.54 g per hundred grams of product, proteins - 3.94 g, and carbohydrates - 12.34 g.

Cooking method

I must say that not only the type of meat depends on its calorie content, but also on the method of preparation. Steam cooking is the best. This will significantly reduce the fat content in the product, and also not affect the waist too much. steamed cutlets is approximately 189 kcal. And if you use minced chicken, then in 100 grams of the dish there will be no more than 119 kcal. If we talk about how many calories are in a fried cutlet, then here the fat content is already significantly increased due to an additional ingredient - the oil on which they are fried. In this form, cutlets become “heavier” and 100 grams account for 245 - 335 kcal. Again, all indicators are affected by the type of meat.

Initially, this was the name of a piece of meat on the bone, but in the 19th century, juicy "chopped cutlets" began to be served in taverns, which came to everyone's taste. So, for example, even A. S. Pushkin recommended in poetic form to try "Pozharsky cutlets" from an innkeeper in Torzhok to one of his friends.

The dish, although borrowed from Europeans, is considered Russian, since its cooking recipe has been completely changed with us over time.

The benefits and harms of cutlets

The benefits and harms of cutlets are determined by the type of meat that is used to prepare them.

• Beef is a source of complete iron and protein, which is very useful for blood formation and saturation of the body with oxygen. In addition, vitamin B12 present in it contributes to the complete and rapid absorption of iron. Collagen contained in beef is involved in the "building" of interarticular ligaments, and zinc helps to improve immunity. At the same time, all fried foods contain carcinogens that cause oncology, beef contains cholesterol which can lead to the development of cardiovascular disease.
• Pork is rich in magnesium and zinc, which help the work of blood vessels and the heart., fats restore strength, lysine forms bone tissue. Selenium and arachidonic acid "treat" depression and improve the process of cell renewal in the body. At the same time, pork should be avoided in the presence of vascular and heart diseases, since meat contains a huge amount of cholesterol. Histamines can cause allergies and various inflammatory processes of the skin. Thermally poorly processed pork may contain helminths.
• Chicken meat is good for the nervous system, heart, immunity, helps regulate cholesterol levels, nourishes the body with easily digestible vitamins, amino acids and trace elements. It is indicated for the elderly, children, weakened by prolonged illnesses. Helps to reduce acidity, thereby alleviating the pain of gastritis and stomach ulcers. Do not overeat chicken meat, otherwise activation of putrefactive processes in the intestines is possible. And people with individual protein intolerance should refrain from chicken.

And, of course, the most useful cutlets are homemade steam cutlets made from fresh meat. In addition, the calorie content of homemade cutlets is much lower than "store" ones.

In general, the ratio of BJU in cutlets is presented in the following proportions:

BJU in cutlets

Type of meat	Composition, benefits and harms of individual elements
Beef	Beef contains a large amount of high-grade protein and iron in its composition, due to which the human body is saturated with oxygen, this has a beneficial effect on the functioning of the hematopoietic system. Vitamin B12 helps to quickly and fully absorb iron. The considered type of meat contains a lot of collagen, which is one of the "building" materials for interarticular ligaments. A high level of zinc helps to improve the functioning of the human immune system and strengthen the defenses. But beef meat contains cholesterol, which is the cause of the development of cardiovascular pathologies.
Pork	Pork contains a large amount of magnesium and zinc, which are necessary for the normal functioning of the heart. A high level of lysine ensures the formation of bone tissue. Thanks to selenium and arachidonic acid, a person gets rid of depression, the cells of the body are renewed. However, this type of meat, like beef, contains a lot of cholesterol and is characterized by a high level of histamine. It causes various allergic reactions and inflammatory processes of the skin.
Chicken	Chicken meat has a beneficial effect on the functioning of the nervous system, normalizes cholesterol levels, saturates the body with vitamins and microelements. Chicken helps reduce stomach acid levels
Mutton	Lamb contains much more iron than other types of meat. Therefore, it is recommended to use it for those who suffer from anemia. In addition, meat contains a large amount of vitamins PP, B1, E, B2, B9, B5, B6. Lamb is rich in macronutrients such as calcium, potassium, sodium, phosphorus. Lamb's fluoride helps fight cavities and keep teeth healthy
Turkey	Turkey meat protein is 95% digestible and contains little cholesterol.

And some secrets...

The story of one of our readers, Inga Eremina:

My weight was especially depressing for me, at 41 I weighed like 3 sumo wrestlers combined, namely 92kg. How to lose weight completely? How to deal with hormonal changes and obesity? But nothing disfigures or rejuvenates a person as much as his figure.

But what can you do to lose weight? Laser liposuction surgery? Learned - not less than 5 thousand dollars. Hardware procedures - LPG massage, cavitation, RF lifting, myostimulation? A little more affordable - the course costs from 80 thousand rubles with a consultant nutritionist. You can of course try to run on a treadmill, to the point of insanity.

Love for meatballs arises in childhood and continues throughout life.

Pieces of tender, melting meat on the tongue give great pleasure. Happy people who do not need to constantly worry about maintaining weight can eat cutlets cooked in any way and from any meat.

Those who constantly track the calorie content of food need to know exactly: how many calories are in a cutlet of chicken, pork, beef, minced fish.

How many calories in chicken cutlet

There are several ways to prepare ready-made cutlets: frying, baking and steaming. If the meat is fried in oil, the calorie content of the dish increases by almost 30%. Not only very slender, but also very healthy people can afford unlimited fried cutlets. For those who suffer from high cholesterol, heart and vascular diseases, have problems with the stomach and pancreas, this dish will not work.

Steaming cutlets is the healthiest way, besides, it practically does not change the calorie content of raw minced meat. In turn, cutlets made from any meat or fish can also have different calorie content. It depends on what kind of meat was used (fatty or lean), what additional ingredients the hostess added to the minced meat.

Take, for example, valuable, tasty and low-calorie chicken meat. This is a real gift for people who are losing weight: it is dietary, that is, not at all fatty, easy to digest, and it turns out delicious in almost any form. But if you make cutlets from different parts of chicken meat, then their calorie content initially (that is, before cooking) will be different:

Meat cut from all parts of the carcass (together with the skin) will give 190 kcal;

Cutlet only from chicken breast without skin - 115 kcal.

How many calories in a cutlet will depend on the composition of the minced meat. If we add additional ingredients to the meat (white bread, semolina, onion, flour), then the calorie content will change. Moreover, sometimes it can be changed both upwards (for example, by adding high-calorie semolina) and downwards. In the latter case, minced meat can be diluted with low-calorie vegetables, such as onions and carrots, and water or milk can also be added.

The highest calorie content in meat fried in oil. To somehow reduce it, you can fry the cutlets over low heat, under a tightly closed lid, adding literally a teaspoon of oil to the pan. Of course, if the frying is normal, then the cutlet should sizzle deliciously on a generous portion of oil. Very tasty, but high in calories.

Steam cooking is the ideal solution for people who care about their health and weight. Formed cutlets will remain sent to a double boiler or slow cooker. No oil or flour is required for frying. Of course, a crispy crust will not work, but there will be no blow to the liver and blood vessels either.

So how many calories are in a chicken patty? Depending on the composition of minced meat and the method of preparation, the data will vary slightly:

A fried cutlet contains from 120 to 250 kcal per 100 g;

Steamed cutlet contains from 85 to 130 kcal per 100 g.

Dietary chicken meat is very good for the heart and nervous system. It gives the body strength, normalizes cholesterol levels, provides the most important amino acids, trace elements and vitamins, reduces the acidity of gastric juice, alleviating the condition of patients with gastritis and ulcers.

Irreplaceable chicken meat for losing weight people. It gives the body a complete protein without overloading with calories. Steamed chicken cutlets are good for babies and debilitated or elderly people. For best results, serve them with fresh or grilled vegetables. For those who are not afraid of extra calories, mashed potatoes, rice, buckwheat can become a side dish for a fried chicken cutlet.

How many calories in pork cutlet

Pork is one of the most controversial types of meat of all that are included in the constant diet of a modern person. Some consider it tasty and healthy, despite the fat content, others try in every possible way to avoid eating pork meat.

It is absolutely unwise to refuse it. Pork meat and lard contain a lot of useful substances, the most valuable of which are arachidonic acid and selenium. The first regulates hormonal balance, has a beneficial effect on the brain, and has a positive effect on blood clotting. As for selenium, it is a powerful substance in its healing properties. It prolongs the youth of the body, renewing cells, increases efficiency, relieves depression, strengthens nerves.

In addition, pork meat, like chicken, contains many vitamins (the presence of all B vitamins is especially valuable) and a powerful mineral complex. Pork is very good for pregnant and lactating women, as it helps to saturate the body with proteins and nutrients, and also enhances lactation.

Most nutritionists do not see anything wrong with eating pork, if its amount does not exceed 200 grams per day. Contrary to popular belief, pork meat is perfectly absorbed by the body, especially if you eat it not in the form of a barbecue paired with strong drinks, but in the form of a tender cutlet.

Another question is that you can cook pork in different ways. If, in addition to the calorie content (rather high) that a piece of brisket has, add the calorie content of oil when frying in a pan, then under the guise of a fried cutlet flowing with juices, you can get a real calorie bomb.

How many calories in a pork cutlet also depends on three factors: what part of the carcass the minced meat is made of, what additional ingredients it contains, and what method of cooking the cutlets. Average calorie values ​​are as follows:

A cutlet fried in oil “weighs” in calories from 345 to 360 kcal;

A steamed cutlet has approximately 290 kcal per 100 g of the finished dish.

Considering that more than 200 g of pork meat is not recommended, then one cutlet weighing 80 g is enough to get the right amount of zinc, magnesium, selenium, arachidonic acid, vitamins PP, B and other useful substances.

How many calories in beef patty

It is believed that beef is healthier and safer than pork meat, as it has less fat, and therefore calories. This is partly true: beef is actually a leaner product compared to pink and white fatty pork. Before finding out how many calories are in a beef cutlet, you need to make sure that this product is useful.

Red beef meat contains a complete protein, it has a lot of iron, so beef cutlets should be included in the diet of people with reduced hemoglobin. In addition, beef contains a lot of collagen, which is most valuable for the human body, which prolongs the health of ligaments, as well as zinc, a trace element that is very useful for the immune system. Young beef is easily absorbed by the body. Beef cutlet contains amino acids, B vitamins, as well as pork meat, it perfectly satisfies hunger and gives long-term saturation.

We must not forget that any fried meat contains carcinogens, therefore it has a potential oncological hazard. The high content of cholesterol in beef threatens the development of cardiovascular diseases. In addition, frying increases the calorie content of beef patties, despite their undeniable dietary benefits.

It is no coincidence that in order to prepare minced meat that is ideal in taste and calorie content, most often pork and beef are mixed in the proportion that seems most delicious.

How many calories are in a pure beef patty? If we take the average figures without taking into account additional ingredients, the approximate numbers are as follows:

beef cutlet fried in oil - 240-250 kcal;

steamed cutlet - from 140 to 170 kcal.

Quite short compared to pork and quite comparable to chicken. This means that beef cutlets are preferred when dieting, especially steam ones. One cutlet will not harm the figure, but will saturate for a long time. You can serve beef with a salad of fresh vegetables (this is the most healthy option for the body) or any other side dish.

How many calories in a fish cake

Fish meat is a valuable food product. It contains a lot of complete, and most importantly, easily digestible protein, as well as trace elements (phosphorus, iodine, magnesium, zinc), vitamins (D, B12, B6), unsaturated omega acids. Eating fish cakes, you can saturate the body with useful substances, strengthen bones, improve the functioning of the nervous system. Fish meat can lower cholesterol levels, and most importantly, prevent aging of the body.

How many calories in a fish cutlet depends on its (fish) variety. The calorie content of different varieties varies from 68 (navaga) to 150 (salmon, salmon) calories. An egg, bread soaked in milk, onions and other components are added to the fish fillet, which changes the calorie content up or down.

It is clear that cutlets made from pollock will be less fat and high-calorie than pink salmon cutlets, for example. And yet they will remain an easy, well-digested, healthy dish.

How many calories are in a cutlet fried in vegetable oil? From 110 to 190 kcal on average:

Pollock - 105-110 kcal;

Cod - 115 kcal;

Pike - 275 kcal;

Hake - 145 kcal;

Pink salmon - 188 kcal.

A steamed fish cutlet will compare favorably with a fried one in terms of calories: it will contain only 90 to 130 kcal.

Of course, a fried cutlet is tastier (mainly due to the fried crust). But if we take into account the great benefits of steam dishes, you can also enjoy the taste of a steam cutlet.

Thus, it is necessary to include meat cutlets in the diet; it is unreasonable to refuse them. However, it should be borne in mind that the method of processing and the composition of minced meat significantly affect the calorie content of the finished dish.
