Leer el aviso completo
Cada número de esta página (objetivos de calorías, reparto de macros y cualquier plan de comidas sugerido) se obtiene con fórmulas (Mifflin-St Jeor para la tasa metabólica basal, multiplicadores de actividad estándar) o, en los planes de comidas generados por IA, con un modelo de lenguaje que aplica esas mismas fórmulas. En las páginas de planes de comidas, la cifra de carbohidratos de cada comida se calcula por diferencia: calorías totales menos las calorías de proteínas y grasas, dividido entre 4. No se mide ni se estima por separado, así que léela como un balance aritmético y no como un análisis nutricional independiente del plato. Nada de esto es asesoramiento médico o nutricional individualizado, y nada ha sido revisado por un dietista titulado, un médico u otro profesional sanitario con licencia.
Pregunta a tu médico o a un dietista titulado qué es lo adecuado para ti antes de empezar una dieta nueva, sobre todo si estás embarazada o en periodo de lactancia, tienes una enfermedad diagnosticada, tomas medicación con receta o has tenido trastornos de la conducta alimentaria. Si tienes una enfermedad renal u otra afección médica, consulta con tu profesional sanitario antes de aumentar la proteína.
Mealyno nunca recomienda un objetivo de calorías por debajo de tu tasa metabólica basal (BMR) calculada, la energía mínima que necesita tu cuerpo en reposo completo. Incluso el ajuste de pérdida de peso más agresivo se limita a ese mínimo.
Las estimaciones de calorías y de BMR usan la ecuación de Mifflin-St Jeor (Mifflin MD, St Jeor ST, et al. Am J Clin Nutr. 1990).

Banosh is a Hutsul dish of cornmeal cooked in sour cream with cracklings, sheep cheese and mushrooms.
About this dish: Banosh
Banosh is a Hutsul dish of cornmeal cooked in sour cream or cream until it turns into a thick, creamy porridge. It is served with cracklings, sheep cheese, mushrooms and sometimes a piece of sausage. In the Carpathians banosh is often cooked in a cauldron over an open fire and eaten hot while the porridge is still steaming. There are many recipes, and each has its own ratio of cream, fat and cheese.
The table uses a typical version with sour cream, cracklings and sheep cheese: about 153 kcal per 100 g and roughly 383 kcal and 10 g of protein for a 250 g portion. It is an estimate with a wide spread. A portion rich in cream and cheese passes 450 kcal, while a lighter milk-based one is around 250. Cracklings (15 g is 105 kcal) and sour cream (30 g is 48 kcal) make the difference between plates.
To make banosh lighter, use a mix of milk and water or low-fat sour cream, and replace the cracklings with fried onion or mushrooms in a drop of oil. To raise the protein, add more sheep cheese, an egg, or serve it with a piece of baked chicken. Cook the cornmeal on a low heat and stir so it does not catch. A ladle can measure the usual portion, but it is better to weigh it at least once.
