Vegetables are an integral part of the human diet. The indispensability of the product is explained by its excellent taste and nutritional properties, therapeutic and preventive effects on the body. The carbohydrates, amino acids, vitamins, and active elements contained in vegetables are easily digestible, so the product has a high nutritional value.
Analysis of the energy value of a product gives an understanding of how many calories are in vegetables. The low calorie content of most fresh vegetables allows them to be included in the diet of people who lead a healthy lifestyle and watch their figure.
Heat treatment of the product promotes the destruction of dietary fiber, which increases the rate of release of carbohydrate energy. Therefore, the calorie content of stewed vegetables increases.

Meat products contain practically no carbohydrate component; they are rich in proteins and fats.
Animal fat, if consumed in excess, can cause increased cholesterol levels and the development of atherosclerosis. However, you should not give up meat products - meat and eggs contain a full range of essential amino acids that the body requires to form muscle mass.
For a healthy diet, choose lean meats and egg whites. Calorie table for meat products:
