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).

Squash caviar is a vegetable spread put on bread, made for winter and served cold.
About this dish: Squash caviar
Squash caviar is a vegetable spread that Ukrainians make in summer, when the garden has plenty of courgettes, and seal in jars for winter. Courgette, carrot, onion and tomato paste are fried or stewed, chopped, and simmered for a long time until thick. It is spread on bread, eaten as a starter with potato or buckwheat, or added to sandwiches. Shop-bought and home-made caviar differ clearly in taste and composition.
The table shows a home-made version at 93 kcal per 100 g, so an 80 g portion, two large spoons, gives only 74 kcal and about 1 g of protein. The calories hide in the oil the courgette is fried in: home-made caviar can be lighter or heavier than a shop jar, so for a bought one check the fat per 100 g on the label. A slice of bread with the caviar is already about 130 kcal, so the bread gives nearly as much as the spread.
To make the caviar lighter, bake the courgette and vegetables in the oven instead of frying them in oil, and add a spoon of oil only at the end. Tomato paste can be replaced with fresh tomatoes, and the sugar left out. To raise the protein, serve the caviar with an egg, sheep cheese or a piece of chicken breast rather than on bread alone. A portion is easier to control if you put it on a plate and do not eat it straight from the jar.
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.

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.
