Every number on this page (calorie targets, macro splits and any suggested meal plan) is produced by formulas (Mifflin-St Jeor for basal metabolic rate, standard activity multipliers) or, for AI-generated meal plans, by a language model applying those same formulas. On meal-plan pages the carbohydrate figure for each meal is calculated by difference: total calories minus protein and fat calories, divided by 4. It is not measured or estimated on its own, so read it as an arithmetic balance and not as an independent nutritional analysis of the dish. None of it is individualized medical or nutritional advice, and none of it has been reviewed by a registered dietitian, physician or other licensed healthcare professional.
Ask your doctor or a registered dietitian what is right for you before starting a new diet, especially if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, have a diagnosed medical condition, take prescription medication, or have a history of disordered eating. If you have kidney disease or another medical condition, ask your clinician before raising protein.
Mealyno never recommends a calorie target below your calculated Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR), the minimum energy your body needs at complete rest. Even the most aggressive weight-loss setting is clamped at that floor.
Calorie and BMR estimates use the Mifflin-St Jeor equation (Mifflin MD, St Jeor ST, et al. Am J Clin Nutr. 1990).

Olivier is the festive salad of the New Year table. The mayonnaise makes it one of the most caloric salads.
About this dish: Olivier salad
For many Ukrainian families olivier is a must on the New Year table: a big bowl of diced potato, carrot, eggs, peas, pickles and sausage. The salad itself goes back to the nineteenth century, while the familiar version with boiled sausage and shop mayonnaise took shape in Soviet times. Every family has its own twist, from adding an apple to using chicken instead of sausage.
Mayonnaise is the main calorie driver. A 15 g spoon of shop mayonnaise is about 95 kcal, and the salad usually gets a generous amount, so it supplies roughly half the energy of a portion. Boiled sausage adds fat, while potato, carrot and peas add carbohydrate. By the table 150 g of olivier is about 270 kcal, and a heaped plate picked at over the evening pushes the number up fast.
To lighten olivier, replace half the mayonnaise with thick yogurt and mustard and use boiled chicken breast instead of sausage. That makes a portion roughly a third lighter and raises the protein. Add more pickles and peas, and less potato. Dress the salad just before serving rather than the night before: it stays crisp instead of going watery, and there is less temptation to add more mayonnaise.
Where the numbers come from
This dish has no single entry in the reference databases, so the values are calculated for a typical home recipe: ingredient shares multiplied by their composition in USDA and Ukrainian tables, including the fat that goes into the pan.
Classic olivier with boiled vegetables, eggs, cooked sausage, peas, pickles and mayonnaise. Calories are derived from protein, fat and carbohydrate at 4, 9 and 4 kcal per gram, so the numbers on the page never contradict each other.
Your kitchen will differ: real calories for a dish like this are usually within ±15%, which for this portion means 230 to 310 kcal. See the Method page for sources and calculations. These are general guides, not medical advice.
