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).

Cottage cheese varenyky are one of the highest-protein kinds of varenyky. They work as breakfast or as a sweet lunch.
About this dish: Varenyky with cottage cheese
Cottage cheese varenyky sit somewhere between breakfast and dessert. They are eaten savoury, with butter and dill, and sweet, with sour cream, sugar or honey. The filling of curd cheese and egg makes them noticeably richer in protein than the potato kind, so they suit anyone counting protein who still wants something familiar and homely.
Two levers drive the calories here: the fat in the cheese and the sugar. Swapping a 9% curd for a 2% one in the filling saves a few dozen calories per portion, and the dough, about 40% of the weight, is nearly all carbohydrate. By the table seven varenyky (200 g) with nothing added come to about 405 kcal and 19 g of protein. The biggest surprises come on the plate: butter, sour cream and honey together can add as much as the filling itself, especially when poured generously.
To lighten them, choose a 2-5% curd, keep the sugar in the filling to a minimum, and top with yogurt or a berry sauce instead of butter. To push protein higher, raise the share of cheese in the filling or serve with a portion of Greek yogurt. If you want a crust, brown the boiled varenyky in the oven with a light brush of oil; that uses less fat than a frying pan.
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.
Boiled varenyky with 5% cottage cheese, egg and a little sugar, served without sour cream. 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.
