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).

Stuffed peppers are a summer dish for when vegetables are at their best. They are lighter than cabbage rolls as the filling carries less fat.
About this dish: Stuffed peppers
Stuffed peppers are bell peppers filled with a mixture of mince, rice, onion and carrot and braised in tomato sauce or juice. It is a dish of late summer and autumn, when peppers ripen in the garden, and many people make a batch and freeze it. The peppers are served hot with sour cream and fresh herbs, often alongside mashed potato.
By the table 100 g is about 94 kcal, and a 300 g portion (two peppers) is 282 kcal with 16.5 g of protein. The calories depend on the mince: pork carries more fat than chicken or turkey. Rice adds carbohydrate, and the tomato sauce adds little. A spoon of sour cream costs 30 kcal and is what most often makes a portion heavier than it looks.
To make a portion lighter, use turkey or chicken mince and more vegetables in the filling: this can bring a portion down to 230-250 kcal. Replace the sour cream with yogurt and herbs or with tomato sauce. To raise the protein, increase the share of meat and use less rice. The peppers can be baked in the oven instead of braised, but add a little water or juice to the dish so the filling does not dry out.
