A very tasty, bright and interesting salad that will decorate any holiday table! The prepared salad must be mixed right at the table so that guests can appreciate all its beauty.

Cooking process

I first tried this salad while visiting my future mother-in-law. This was about 12 years ago. We didn't have the Internet back then. She looked for recipes in magazines and watched cooking shows. As Olga Ivanovna explained, this salad has a beautiful name “Lights of Paris”. With this name he took root in our family.

Now I see that on many sites it sounds like “Yeralash”, “kuchki” salad and something else. It doesn’t change the essence, with this composition the salad turns out very bright - a real decoration for the festive table. I love the Lights of Paris salad for its juiciness and lightness. In the ingredients I indicated that there were 1 vegetable each, but it took a little less. See for yourself, if they are a little smaller, then the whole ones will go away. Instead of sausage, you can use boiled meat.

First of all, pickle the onion. It must be cut in half and cut lengthwise.

Fill completely with water, add vinegar.

Cut the cucumber into strips.

Same with sausage.

Grate the carrots on a fine grater. I have a fine Korean carrot grater.

Calculation of daily calorie intake for weight loss

How many calories you can consume per day can be easily calculated. You just need to multiply the value of your weight in kg by 24 - the resulting number will be the rate of calorie consumption for the body at rest (due to this amount of energy, it will ensure the functioning of the processes necessary for human life). Even when calculating the daily calorie intake for weight loss, you need to take into account the recommended dose of BJU: the daily menu should consist of 20% fat, 40% carbohydrates and 40% protein.

Physical activity rate

The amount of daily calories depends on how active a person is. In this case, the number of acceptable norms must be multiplied by a coefficient expressing motor physical activity. This indicator has an average value:

1.2 – for people who are very overweight or lead a completely inactive lifestyle;
1.4 – for those who play sports at least 3 times/week;
1.6 – for people working in an office and those who rarely do physical labor;
1.5 – for those who train daily and do physical labor.

Basal metabolic rate

A calorie counting table will help you lose weight, but to calculate your daily calorie intake, you need to take other values into account. So, to maintain weight, your basal metabolic rate needs to be multiplied by your activity ratio. To lose weight, the daily norm needs to be reduced: for women to 1200 kcal, for men - to 1800 kcal. To lose weight, you need to either reduce your calorie intake by eating less or increase your physical activity. It is worth noting that before increasing the load when losing weight, you need to calculate how many calories you can eat before training.

Recipe for “Lights of Paris” salad:

1) Boil the meat.

2) Cabbage, carrots, beets - cut into strips and put on a plate.

3) Add chips, cut the meat into strips and add, season with mayonnaise, mix and decorate with herbs.

Bon appetit!

All products change volume

Due to any heat treatment during the cooking process, the products will be fried or evaporated, releasing a certain part of the nutrients and calorie content into the water. As a result, meat, vegetables, cereals, etc. will change in volume, but the calorie content will remain the same:

cereals, pasta - increase in volume due to moisture absorption;
poultry, meat, fish - lose moisture, decreasing in volume;
vegetables also lose moisture and become smaller in volume.

An example with a protein product: 200 g of chicken fillet contains 226 kcal, and after boiling, the result is 150 g of boiled meat, but its calorie content remains unchanged and is 226 kcal.

Example with complex carbohydrates: 100 g of buckwheat contains 329 kcal, boil it in 200 ml of water. The cereal absorbs liquid and increases in volume, but the calorie content remains the same - 329 kcal. By increasing the proportions of water, the volume of porridge will become even larger, but the calorie content will remain unchanged.

Therefore, any product must be weighed before cooking. As a last resort, you can calculate the percentage of the portion eaten. For example, out of 100 g of buckwheat porridge cooked in water, only a third of the finished dish was consumed. To calculate a portion, you need to divide the total calorie content by 3: 329 kcal: 3 = 109.7 kcal

In this case, there is no need to recalculate the finished dish, because you know the amount of energy consumed and remaining.

Growing resentment

From the very beginning, Emmanuel Macron positioned himself as a tough and principled reformer who intends to rapidly and dynamically modify the education and labor relations systems, railways, justice, as well as pension and migration legislation.

To most French people, who perceive Macron as a “president for the rich,” these changes seemed incomprehensible and unfair. In his first presidential term, the leader of the Fifth Republic faced massive protests, the concentration of which over a year and a half seems surprisingly high even by French standards.

French authorities have decided to announce a moratorium on rising fuel taxes

The first wave of discontent swept Paris in September 2017. Then the leader of the opposition party “Unconquered France” Jean-Luc Mélenchon led people to the Place de la République. The reason for the indignation then was changes in labor legislation, which were intended to reduce unemployment rates and make the labor market more flexible, facilitating relations between employer and employee. The points that provoked the protests were a simplified procedure for dismissing an employee and a reduction in the role of trade unions in concluding labor contracts.

The railway reform gave a new impetus to the development of the protest movement under Macron. The monopolist of railway transportation in France is the state corporation SNCF. Over the years, the quality of its services fell, losses grew, passengers became irritated, and SNCF workers enjoyed benefits in the form of early retirement and surcharges for hazardous work. The reform abolished all privileges for railway workers, transformed the company from a state corporation into a joint-stock company and deprived it of its monopoly. Trade unions, traditionally powerful in France, went on strike in March 2021, paralyzing train traffic. However, by July the protest fizzled out - only losses of more than €300 million remained as a reminder of it.

Calorie diet

For those who have problems with weight, nutritionists have developed a special system - calculating the calorie content of consumed foods according to a table. While on this diet, you don’t need to give up your favorite delicious foods, because the system’s design is as simple as possible - you just need to reduce the number of servings and their volume. Reviews of this diet suggest that you can easily lose 4 kg of excess weight in a month (depending on your initial weight). The diet is absolutely safe for health, provided that you do not reduce your daily caloric intake below the minimum threshold of 1200 kcal.

A calorie-counting diet won't make you hungry. You can see this by looking at its sample menu:

breakfast - 200 g of salad (fresh cabbage and carrots), seasoned with 0.5 tsp. vegetable oil, a piece of boiled sausage (50 g) or chicken cutlet, bread and unsweetened tea;
snack – 100 g of citrus jelly, a glass of lemon jelly;
lunch – 150 g of bean soup, 150 g of vegetable roast with pork, a cup of rowan tea, 100 g of potato cookies;
afternoon snack – a glass of kvass made from the extract, 2 loaves of bread covered with a thin layer of apricot jam;
dinner – 100 g of buckwheat, 100 g of boiled chicken fillet, a cup of tea with an apple;
at night - a glass of low-fat kefir.

How to choose calorie-rich diet recipes

A calorie table for weight loss may not help you achieve your goal if you systematically break the rules. So, when you are planning to count calories, you should:

Limit your fat intake. Animal fat has twice the calorie content of carbohydrates. If the menu contains no more than 30% fat, then the body does not require an increase in the dose of carbohydrates and protein, due to this the calorie content of the diet becomes 10% less.
Minimize your sugar intake. Any type of sugar or its substitute increases appetite, which causes a person to overeat, which is unacceptable when losing weight. A healthy menu should contain no more than 20 g of sugar/day.
Increase your consumption of fiber (found in cereals, fruits, vegetables) and pectins. This kind of food is the best for weight loss - it is digested more slowly and fills you up faster.

Calorie counting using services

There are a number of popular services that can calculate the calorie content and KBJU of ready-made dishes for you. And, unfortunately, each counter has a drawback: the program does an excellent job of taking into account the final weight, calories and nutrients, but does not take into account the thermal methods of processing foods. As a result, the data will be less accurate than manual calculations.

One way or another, a special application or program does an excellent job of counting KBJU products and all recipe ingredients; you can download it for free for any phone system.

FatSecret

There is another way to quickly and easily calculate the amount of proteins, fats and carbohydrates in a finished dish - this is the FatSecret application. The program also tracks achievements and teaches you how to create a balanced diet. It is possible to enter missing products and record recipes.

The daily menu is very conveniently divided into several meals: breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks. In the appropriate window, enter the data of the selected products:

The program does all the calculations for you, analyzing the number of calories and BJU not only in general, you will also see the amount of energy consumed for breakfast, lunch, dinner or snack. At the very bottom of the daily diet table you can see a summary diagram for the day, which is extremely convenient for building a nutrition plan for a specific goal, be it losing weight, gaining muscle mass, or maintaining weight.

Do not forget that the program calculates the calorie content of foods in a single quantity based on the approximate weight of the ingredient, but not the exact one. One cucumber can weigh 100 g or 150 g. Therefore, it is recommended to enter the data yourself after preliminary weighing.

Exactly the same principle must be followed when working with mobile applications, entering the amount of food in grams yourself.

Other mobile applications

Diary Nutrition is a free food diary with a simple interface. The main feature is the ability to specify the exact time of eating.

Lifesum – in the program you can specify a goal (losing weight or gaining muscle mass), after which the application can independently calculate the required amount of calories especially for you, and also recommend a diet in accordance with your tastes. There is a built-in water tracker and the ability to synchronize with other programs to track achievements. The program also evaluates your success using a special scale.

Yazio is a convenient calorie calculator that analyzes information about foods consumed and physical activity for the month, forming the data into a graph.

MyFitnessPal is a high-quality development that is popular all over the world. The database contains about 6 million products, which is updated daily. The program is considered the best calorie counter for Android.
