Therefore, it is useful to add it to meat dishes, potatoes, pasta, pizza instead of delicious multi-ingredient ketchup.
A task force from the World Union Against Cancer examined large groups of people in Mediterranean countries. She came to the conclusion: men here get prostate cancer much less often - precisely because they eat spaghetti and pizza, popular in these parts, with tomato paste.
The preventive effect of tomato paste will be even more noticeable if you fry it in vegetable oil. Fry until the oil turns red. In this case, the total mass of the product is approximately halved: the water evaporates, and red tomato oil takes its place.
By the way, this is exactly what they do when preparing Ukrainian borscht. The Greeks and Spaniards add fried tomatoes to their national dishes. This means that people have long intuitively felt how to correctly extract the most valuable substance, probably without even knowing about its existence.
Tomatoes can be harmful for people with high stomach acidity and allergies, as tomatoes can cause allergies. Symptoms include hives, itching, skin rash, headache, abdominal pain, insomnia, hyperactivity, runny nose.
Conclusion: tomatoes are useful in any form, but fried, tomato oil is an excellent and affordable means of preventing cardiovascular diseases and cancer. The harm of tomatoes is mostly exaggerated and depends on the amount of consumption. published by econet. ru

Among the most common dishes that we prefer at breakfast is an omelet. This egg dish has a number of significant advantages, which explain its popularity. Omelette is easy to prepare, but at the same time tasty and healthy. Preparing an omelet is very easy - all you need to do is beat the eggs with salted milk, and pour the finished mixture into a frying pan with sunflower oil. To give the omelette an even richer taste, the ingredients include grated cheese, various meat products (for example, sausage, ham, etc.), as well as vegetables - onions, tomatoes, peppers, in general, whatever your imagination tells you.
Naturally, due to the popularity of the dish, many, especially adherents of a healthy diet and those who monitor their body weight, are interested in such simple questions as: what is the calorie content of an omelette, what are the benefits of an omelette and whether this dish has any dietary properties.

Omelette, benefits and dietary properties:
Omelette has a number of useful properties. And among all the dishes made from eggs, omelet is probably the most healthy. This dish, if, of course, it was prepared correctly, retains all the beneficial properties of eggs.
Chicken eggs are a good source of biologically active components necessary for humans. Vitamins include vitamins A, B, B6, D and E, and folic acid (vitamin B9). The mineral composition is represented by iron, potassium, calcium, phosphorus, copper. They also contain essential amino acids and complete protein. At the same time, all of the listed substances are contained in the egg in an ideal balance, due to which they are absorbed by the body entirely.
One egg covers 25% of the daily amount of substances required by the body. Therefore, it is recommended to eat 2 eggs per day - in the form of an omelet and boiled.
But it is better not to eat raw eggs - they contain substances that interfere with the absorption of certain vitamins. Egg yolk contains vitamins B2, B12, A, D, lutein, iron, lecithin, and selenium in sufficient quantities. In addition, eggs can become a substitute for the best varieties of fish due to the presence of polyunsaturated fats and amino acids in them.

Nutritional value of omelet
To prepare a traditional omelette, all you need is 1 egg and a little milk. But you can find out the calorie content of an omelet made from 1 egg with milk only by knowing exactly what the nutritional value of each product is. The calorie content of eggs depends on their size.
The weight of an average product ranges from 30 to 70 g, but for ease of calculation, nutritionists take an egg weighing 40-50 g as a basis. Its nutritional value is 60 kcal. The fat content of milk plays an important role, but for preparing a dietary dish it is better to take the minimum - 1.5%. Therefore, the calorie content of an omelet made from 2 eggs with milk will be about 140-160 kcal. If you are making an omelet with other ingredients, you should add their calorie content to the nutritional value of eggs. If you cannot tolerate milk, you can dilute it half and half with water. Due to this, the nutritional value of the dish will decrease slightly. The calorie content of an omelet made from 3 eggs with milk is 200-230 kcal.
If you add only 10 g of butter to an omelet, the nutritional value of the dish will increase by 90 kcal. This happens if the dish is prepared by frying. But its calorie content can be reduced if you cook the omelette in the oven or microwave, only by greasing the pan with fat.
Several arguments in defense of the "poor man's dish"
In the old days, scrambled eggs were considered too simple a food; they were served in low-income families. In the “biography” of this food there were periods when it was stigmatized due to the presence of cholesterol. Now nutritionists are vying with each other to praise its dietary properties and declare that it must be present in the diet. After all, it turned out that the cholesterol in it is not harmful, but is full of valuable microelements. It is impossible to gain weight from eggs, but improving your mental abilities is quite possible!
For those losing weight, the following information will be useful:
- scrambled eggs themselves do not belong to the category of high-calorie dishes (167 energy units is a mere trifle!);
- when using it, you need to know when to stop;
- if the calorie problem is very acute, stop eating the yolk;
- When deciding whether to include it in the menu, remember that one of the most high-calorie food components is oil. In creamy - 748 kcal, in vegetable - up to 899. Therefore, by preparing fried eggs using them, you automatically add 90 kcal to yourself. And the daily calorie limit for a lady of average height who has decided to lose weight is 700-1400 kcal. So take the Teflon-coated frying pan out of the cupboard.
Omelet for diets: five ways to reduce its nutritional value
If you approach this issue radically, then you need to cook it in a slow cooker or oven and exclusively from proteins. The calorie content of the dish will be reduced by 3-4 times, but the taste of such a “culinary masterpiece” can only curb your appetite for a long time.
Here are some gentler methods you can use to reduce the number of calories in your favorite foods:
- take milk with a fat content of 2.5% (abstain from cream, sour cream and homemade milk completely);
- use low-fat hard cheese;
- Stew the vegetables a little first;
- fry completely without fat in a non-stick frying pan.
The history of the word “omelet” goes back to France. But, nevertheless, dishes that are omelettes belong to the national dishes of many countries. Every cuisine has its own version of omelet. In Italy, for example, they prepare tortilla, which consists of seventy percent eggs, and in Japan - omu-rice, whose calorie content is 200 kcal.
There is also an opinion that the omelet was invented by the Austrian poor, who used black stale bread to make this dish. Another version of preparing an omelet says that it was invented by a simple Viennese chef. Even then, medieval beauties were interested in: what is the calorie content of an omelet? In fact, omelet is not only healthy, but also has high energy value.
Before talking about the calorie content of an omelet, it’s probably worth saying a few words about the products from which it is prepared, more precisely about eggs and their beneficial properties.
Calories for breakfast
Determining the calorie content of scrambled eggs from 2 eggs is quite simple, because unlike multi-component dishes, it only has one or two ingredients. Energy value indicators depend on the mass of eggs. They can be small or large. It is generally accepted that the weight of a medium-sized one is 58 g. Thus, two will weigh 116 g. 100 g of protein-yolk mass contains 157 kcal, that is, one medium-sized raw egg has about 91 kcal, and two, respectively, 182. If its mass is slightly less - 47 g, then it will contain 73.8 units of energy.
Two-thirds of this reserve is contained in the yolk, the rest is in the white. This distribution of calories will become clear if you look at what is inside the white and yolk. The first is 90% water, 10% is protein, the second includes fat (11.6 g) and cholesterol (139 mg).
Today, thanks to non-stick cookware, you can fry without a drop of fat. A standard scrambled egg of 2 eggs, cooked without oil, will have a calorie content of 148-182 kcal. The average is 167 kcal. This is almost 10% of the safe daily value, which is quite a bit. That is, it can be called dietary - unless, of course, it is included in the menu for breakfast, lunch and dinner. If you take small eggs, which contain 61 kcal, you will be able to reduce the number of calories in the fried egg to 122.
