Sur les pages de plans repas, la quantité de glucides de chaque repas est calculée par différence : calories totales moins les calories des protéines et des lipides, divisées par 4. Elle n'est ni mesurée ni estimée séparément ; lisez-la comme un bilan arithmétique et non comme une analyse nutritionnelle indépendante du plat.

Demandez à votre médecin ou à un diététicien diplômé ce qui vous convient avant de commencer un nouveau régime, surtout si vous êtes enceinte ou allaitez, si vous avez une maladie diagnostiquée, si vous prenez un médicament sur ordonnance ou si vous avez des antécédents de troubles du comportement alimentaire. Si vous avez une maladie rénale ou une autre affection médicale, demandez conseil à votre médecin avant d'augmenter les protéines.
Mealyno ne recommande jamais un objectif de calories inférieur à votre métabolisme de base (BMR) calculé, l'énergie minimale dont votre corps a besoin au repos complet. Même le réglage de perte de poids le plus agressif est plafonné à ce seuil.

Lenten borscht is made without meat or animal fat, traditionally during fasts. It is one of the lightest hot dishes in Ukrainian cuisine.
About this dish: Lenten borscht (meatless)
Lenten borscht is not just borscht with the meat left out: it is traditionally cooked during fasts and for Christmas Eve supper, when there are no meat or dairy dishes on the table. Without meat broth the flavour rests on well-browned vegetables, beans and dried mushrooms, so a good meatless borscht has a deeper base than a plain borscht on water.
It is low in calories: by the table a 350 g bowl is about 130 kcal. The main sources are potato, beet and the oil for the fried base. A tablespoon of oil (about 13 g) is roughly 120 kcal, so if a pot for six gets two or three spoons, each bowl takes 40-60 kcal from the oil alone. Beans add calories, but also protein and fibre, so a bowl with beans is more filling.
The weak spot of this dish is protein: without beans a bowl has only 3-4 g, so the fullness may not last long. The fix is easy: add red beans or chickpeas, and serve a slice of wholegrain bread and a handful of seeds alongside. If the aim is the fewest calories, soften the vegetables for the base with tomato paste and a few spoons of water and only a drop of oil, and go easy on the potato.
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.
Vegetable borscht on water with a little frying oil, with or without beans, without sour cream. 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 110 to 150 kcal. See the Method page for sources and calculations. These are general guides, not medical advice.
What changes the calories
Almost all calories come from the potato and the frying oil. Adding beans raises protein and fullness, and takes the soup to about 50 kcal per 100 g.

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 37 kcal by the weight of the cooked dish in grams and divide by 100. For example, 250 g is about 93 kcal.
