If you want to recover faster, then you must follow all the doctor’s instructions, including diets, if necessary. In this article we will talk about diet No. 5. The recipe for a protein omelet - a very tasty and acceptable dish - will be the main topic. But first, I would like to talk in general about diet number 5: for what diseases is it prescribed, what dishes can be eaten, and which are strictly prohibited.

Diet goal No. 5

The fifth diet (like the other 14 in the whole series) was developed by the scientific nutritionist Mikhail Povzner. This diet is intended to alleviate the condition of people with diseases of the gallbladder, liver, and biliary tract. It is not lifelong. The protein omelet included in diet No. 5, the recipes for which you will see below, will not become a constant companion on the dinner table. You can stick to the diet for one and a half to two years, and there are a huge variety of dishes on the menu.

The diet will be useful:

• with urolithiasis;
• gout;
• people with certain liver diseases (in particular, hepatitis);
• with cholelithiasis;
• pancreatitis;
• cholecystitis;
• cirrhosis of the liver.

For active gastrointestinal diseases, the fifth diet is contraindicated.

Its goal is to minimize the load on the liver and gall bladder during illness and recovery, by introducing gentle nutrition into the diet. Patients note an improvement in their condition from the first days of the diet.

Cooking tips

How to prepare food while following this diet? You need to boil the food, bake it in the oven, or steam it (we will consider the protein omelet recipes of diet No. 5 in all variations). It is not allowed to fry or bake food until a crust forms.

You need to eat at least 4-6 times a day, but only in small portions. It is recommended to chop food well before eating and drink plenty of fluids throughout the day.

The temperature of food consumed should be between 20-60 °C. You should not eat cold or hot foods, as they irritate the gastric mucosa.

Nutritional value and calorie content

Even the most dietary product has a certain calorie content, which should be taken into account during the preparation process. 100 grams of this dish contains 195.4 kcal. It also cannot be done without fats; their content reaches 17 g with 8.9 g of protein. The product contains calcium, iron, vitamins C, B1, B2. If you cook without oil, steam or in a water bath, you can reduce the nutritional value to 72-76 kcal.

The dietary status of the dish involves the use of low-calorie foods. For example, milk can be replaced with plain water or a low-fat equivalent. For a diet that ensures compliance with medical prescriptions, the use of fats is excluded.

In all other cases, you can use oil to coat the molds and containers used in cooking.

What can you eat

So that you understand that the protein omelette recipes of diet No. 5 will comply with all the rules, we suggest you understand the list of permitted and prohibited items. Let's start with what you can eat:

• pasta;
• yesterday's bread (any type);
• black caviar;
• crackers;
• vegetable oils and butter;
• salt - minimum amount;
• fruits and vegetables;
• dairy products;
• cinnamon, dill, cloves, parsley, bay leaf;
• cheese;
• chicken fillet;
• premium ham.

Why is an omelet so useful for the fifth diet?

It is not known exactly when the omelet was invented, but we know that it was prepared in the Roman Empire for royalty. The dish got its name in the capital of world cuisine - in France, and in translation it simply sounds like “scrambled eggs”. For Italians, an omelette is a “fritatta”, for the Spaniards it is a “tortilla”, and in these countries the omelette we are familiar with is more like a casserole; it is a more satisfying and high-calorie dish. Cheese, vegetables, meat, sausages are added to it, and ordinary beaten eggs turn into a very tasty and satisfying dish.

The diet version of the protein omelet recipe suggests using only whites for cooking. This is a real storehouse of vitamins, and in terms of the amount of vitamin D it contains, this product is second only to fish oil. There are amino acids, minerals, and per hundred grams of product contains only 4-5 calories and 11 g of protein.

Choline and lecithin, which are part of egg whites, prevent the deposition of bad cholesterol, and this is so important in a healthy diet. The product contains antioxidants, thanks to which toxins are removed from the body, the body literally becomes younger.

The benefits of egg whites are not lost during heat treatment, since the product is cooked quickly, with short-term heating, and this time is not enough for the vitamins and nutrients to die.

The protein from eggs is absorbed by our body by almost 94%, and the absorption rate of fish and meat is no more than 76%.

As for the calorie content of an omelet, it directly depends on how you prepare the dish and what ingredients you add.

Next, we suggest going directly to the review of protein omelette recipes for diet No. 5. Steamed, in the oven, in the microwave, in a water bath - we will cook in a variety of ways, which are only allowed.

Oven diet recipe No. 5: white omelette with turkey

A healthy diet does not involve a complete abstinence from meat. You just need to stop eating fatty meat (pork, lamb), stringy meat (beef, game), and eat tasty, dietary meat. It could be chicken, turkey, rabbit. We suggest preparing an omelet with turkey. This meat is light, tastes not like poultry, but like a young pig, and everyone really likes it because of its tenderness. Turkey does not take long to cook, so a white omelette in the oven with the meat of this bird can be classified as an express dish.

Ingredients for cooking:

• 50-100 grams of turkey fillet;
• 4 eggs;
• half a glass of milk;
• a little salt;
• optionally, add greens and ground paprika;
• a little vegetable oil.

The preparation is very simple:

1. Place the fillet in water after boiling, this way it will remain juicier than if the meat is immersed directly in cold water.
2. Cook the meat for 10-15 minutes, then remove and cool. The broth can be used in the future, because with diet No. 5 soups are recommended for consumption.
3. Separate the eggs, as in all other recipes, mix with milk, salt, herbs and paprika, beat with a whisk until thick foam.
4. Cut the fillet into small cubes and place in a baking dish. Pour omelette mixture on top.
5. You need to place the baking dish in an already preheated oven. The eggs will not have time to settle, and the dish will turn out fluffy, which creates an additional mood at the table, as it looks more appetizing than a flattened flatbread.

Don't forget to serve it warm.

Secrets of preparing a diet omelet

Protein omelet is often mentioned as dietary element No. 5. It is prescribed for cholelithiasis, improves the secretion of bile, and stimulates liver function. The main feature of the diet is the almost complete exclusion of fats. Proteins and carbohydrates are consumed in normal amounts.

Food is prepared steamed or boiled. Accordingly, its calorie content remains minimal.

To prepare a steam omelette correctly, you should consider the following important points.

1. Freshness of ingredients. To create a high-quality, tasty and healthy dish, it is worth taking ingredients that will be safe for both children and adults with disabilities.

3. Proportions. When combining egg whites with milk, you must make sure that the volumes of all products used are equal. Only precise adherence to proportions ensures the excellent taste of the dish.
4. Consistency. It is worth paying attention to the thoroughness of mixing proteins and milk.

Only by following the recommendations can you achieve a homogeneous mass and make the omelette strong enough.

If you are preparing a dietary dish, it is better to do without the use of additional components. But when you include a protein omelet in your diet just to diversify your diet, it is quite possible to flavor it with fillers - vegetables, cheese, and your favorite spices.
