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.

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.

Millet porridge with pumpkin is an autumn breakfast: soft, golden and gluten-free.
About this dish: Millet porridge with pumpkin
Millet porridge with pumpkin is an autumn and winter breakfast that Ukrainians make when pumpkin is in season. The millet is rinsed thoroughly and cooked in water or milk, and the pumpkin is cut into cubes and added to the porridge so that it softens and gives it a yellow colour and a light sweetness. The porridge is eaten for breakfast and also as a side with meat.
The table shows porridge on water with pumpkin and a little butter, no sugar: about 92 kcal per 100 g, so a 250 g portion is roughly 230 kcal with 6.5 g of protein. On water it is light, while on milk with sugar and butter it becomes 40-60% more caloric. A spoon of honey adds another 61 kcal, and each 10 g of butter 72. That is why the extras should be counted separately.
To keep the dish light, cook the porridge on water or a mix of water and milk and add cinnamon instead of sugar. The pumpkin already gives natural sweetness, so you need less honey. To add protein, serve the porridge with an egg, curd cheese or yogurt, or stir in a spoon of protein powder. Pour boiling water over the millet before cooking, and the porridge comes out softer, without bitterness.
