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).

Merchant-style buckwheat is one of the most popular one-pan home meals: grain and meat cook together. It works as a full lunch or dinner.
About this dish: Buckwheat with meat
Buckwheat with meat, also called merchant-style, is a one-pot dinner for evenings with no time for several dishes. Browned meat or mince with onion and carrot is covered with water, buckwheat is added and the pot simmers under a lid until the grain has taken up all the liquid. The result is fluffy porridge with a meaty flavour that reheats well for the next day's lunch.
Two things decide the calories: which meat and how much oil. Depending on the meat the dish gives 120 kcal per 100 g (chicken, turkey) up to 160 and more (fatty pork mince); the table shows a typical middle version of about 145 kcal. Buckwheat itself is fairly light, contributing carbohydrate and some protein. A 300 g portion is about 440 kcal and around 27 g of protein, a full meal rather than a side.
To lighten it, use lean meat, brown it in a non-stick pot with a minimum of oil and add more carrot and onion for volume. To raise protein, increase the meat to about half the weight of the portion or add a boiled egg. Serve the sour cream on the side, or use a spoon of yogurt with dill instead, which adds freshness without extra fat.
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.
Buckwheat with pork or beef mince, onion and carrot, braised with a little oil. 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 370 to 505 kcal. See the Method page for sources and calculations. These are general guides, not medical advice.
What changes the calories
The mince decides the result. Chicken mince gives about 120 kcal per 100 g, while fatty pork mince reaches 160 and above. More carrot and onion make it bulkier without extra calories.

Count your own portion
Portions differ for everyone. To avoid guessing, photograph your own plate: the free Calories from a photo tool estimates the dish, the portion weight, calories and macros in a few seconds, with no signup. One scan a day.
Without a photo: multiply 146 kcal by the weight of the cooked dish in grams and divide by 100. For example, 250 g is about 365 kcal.
