Your diet and caloric content of sweets

Compliance with a strict diet sometimes worsens your mood. You yearn for the usual and favorite foods, for the usual volume of food and, of course, for sweets. Alas, the calorie content of sweets and most other delicacies is such that for the sake of a beautiful figure they have to be forgotten. Or hard to limit yourself, because after a long abstinence you want to arrange a "feast" for the stomach.

But if only you do not observe a particularly hard diet, you can afford a chocolate bar even on diet days. Sometimes this is stipulated in the schedule of meals. But the whole chocolate bar is a lot. The pure product contains 550 kCal per 100 g. Bitter or dark only a little less - 544, white - 580, and popular varieties with peanuts and raisins contain 580 and 520 respectively.

Caloric content of chocolate candies depends on the filling, but on average they are not inferior to tiles. So, in 100 g of "Squirrel" you will get 518 kilocalories, in "Swallow" there will be 400 of them, and in "Red Poppy" - 560. There are fewer calories in wafers and jelly sweets with chocolate. Do not forget about weight. To get 100 g, you have to eat 5 to 8 pieces.

It can often be heard that pure dark or even milk chocolate is useful. It is digested in a way that helps burn fat. It's not just rumors. Thanks to the presence of caffeine, sweetness is really not so damaging to the figure. But to hope that the "sweet" calories will replace vegetables or cereals, do not. In the case of losing weight, it is important not only the caloric content of sweets, but also the content of proteins, fats, carbohydrates in them .

As we recall, it is more useful for an organism if the product has more proteins and fewer fats and carbohydrates. And carbohydrates are better to receive the so-called slow, they last longer maintain a sense of satiety. Here lies the main problem. In terms of content, carbohydrates in almost all sweets are tens of times higher than proteins.

But let's pay attention to the caloricity of other kinds of sweets. Perhaps, so you can "cheaper" to cheer yourself up. The fewest calories you will find in jelly and marmalade. Fruit grades not sprinkled with sugar contain about 160 calories per 100 g. They are usually sold in wrappers as candy. In a solid marmalade, 290 cc.

The comparatively small nutritional value of fruit and mint caramel is about 240 calories, while in "Rachki", "Grasshoppers" and similar caramels, there will already be 370-420 (depends on the manufacturer).

Do not confuse chocolate with confectionery fondant based on cocoa. The caloric content of sweets with it is also much less, and you can meet fondant mainly in inexpensive varieties of sweets. 430 kcal has peanuts in cocoa-sweet, and about the same will be in various inexpensive candies like "pebbles."

Caloric content of the "Korovka" candy dairy is 365 kCl (in chocolate with melted milk it will already be 530). In other types of iris an average of 395 kcal per 100 g.

As we see, the more delicious the sweetness, the more caloric. Our body likes to receive energy quickly, but in order to maintain a healthy lifestyle it is necessary that it be consumed correctly. You can not resist a vase with a treat - do not eat much at a time. If you stretch a few sweets or a piece of tile for a day, your diet will be more successful.
