Peas - traditional leguminous culture forour country. It can be said that the pea may well replace meat, because it contains as much protein in it. In addition, this product contains vitamins, sugar, fats, starch, carotene, phosphorus, and more. The caloric content of peas is quite high, in one hundred grams of dry product contains 336 Kcal.
In ancient times, peas were called meat forpoor, in addition to the fact that its composition is similar to the composition of meat, vegetable proteins are absorbed by the body much faster and more fully than meat proteins. People who eat legumes at least once a week, can boast of the normal functioning of the digestive system, that is, the absence of constipation, due to fiber, which is part of the pea. Therefore, we can safely say that the benefits of pea puree are not exaggerated. True peas are not recommended for children under two - three years old, and especially for children prone to flatulence and disorders of the gastrointestinal tract. The nutritional value of fresh peas, as well as dried peas, is two times higher than that of other vegetables.
That the calorie peas в сухом виде очень высока, мы поняли, а как же be with canned peas or fresh? Here, everything is just different, in a hundred grams of fresh, just picked green peas from the garden, there are only 72 calories, and in canned peas there are even less - 55 calories. So you can use green peas with complete confidence as a side dish for any dish, without fear of getting stout. And how many calories in pea soup? Here it is difficult to give a definite answer. It all depends on what ingredients and in what quantity are included in the soup. For example, let's calculate with you the calorie content of pea soup cooked in chicken broth, with potatoes, carrots, onions, naturally, peas, sour cream and fresh greens:
- one liter chicken broth - 310 calories;
- potato three hundred grams - 249 calories;
- carrots one hundred grams - 33 calories and onions one hundred grams - 43 calories plus sunflower oil for roasting one tablespoon - 270 calories;
- caloric content of peeled peas in the amount of one hundred and fifty grams is 485 calories;
- Sour cream tablespoon - 35 calories;
- fresh green thirty grams - 16 calories.
So we got the soup pot, that is,for four portions of 1441 calories, and per serving, respectively, a little less - this is 360 calories. And how many calories you need to consume per day? To determine the required number of calories per day for all people is quite problematic, since it must be calculated individually and take into account such factors as lifestyle, physical activity, level and condition of hormones and hormonal levels, the level of physical fitness of a person and many others. For people who want to lose weight, the number of calories they consume per day, of course, should not be more than the amount they spend, otherwise the body will begin to gain weight, that is, to accumulate unused energy in the form of fat deposits - “reserves”. Physical activity while losing weight is an important factor. In addition, it is not how much food we eat, but what kind of food it is. For example, if you can eat a couple of kilograms of fresh vegetables for the whole day, then you are unlikely to recover, but if you eat the same amount of sandwiches with sausage, mayonnaise and other similar delicacies, then weight gain is guaranteed. It is proved that a person who consumes at least a hundred extra calories a day, in a year will gain weight by five kilograms. Therefore, it is best to eat healthy foods, such as peas, because the calories of peas are low, and it brings much more benefit than, for example, smoked and fried chicken, fish, jerky, mayonnaise, buns and so on.
