Dietary properties:
How many calories are in Philadelphia rolls, what dietary properties they have, all this is of great interest to those who lead a healthy lifestyle and watch their figure. So we will try to answer these questions in the next article.
So here it is:
Recently, a dish such as rolls has begun to gain increasing popularity among consumers. This product is not to everyone's taste.
You need to feel and understand its unique taste qualities.
Rolls are a type of sushi rolled into sausages. The filling is rice with pressed seaweed, then cut into slices. These slices are called rolls. The dish is prepared using a bamboo mat, or makisu.
For many of us, they still remain a “mystery dish”. Some people don’t like the ingredients they include, others don’t like the way they are prepared. Some people just don't like seafood. But, in any case, this dish is becoming more and more popular.
So, it’s no secret that many dishes of Chinese (and oriental) cuisine in general are very healthy and low in calories. True, the birthplace of this dish is the USA, but it comes from an oriental dish - sushi. Philadelphia rolls get their name from the cheese of the same name, which is part of this product.
One serving of rolls – 6 pieces. And for many this is enough to feel full. The nutritional value of this dish is largely due to the rice, which is added during their preparation.
If you eat 3-4 rolls a day, this will not affect your body weight. If you eat more without reducing the amount of flour and fatty foods in your diet, your body weight may increase.
This dish will be useful for those who suffer from a lack of animal fats, proteins, vitamins and minerals in their food, and with low nutrition. Cheese is a rich source of calcium and phosphorus, so this product is recommended for people susceptible to osteoporosis, fractures, as well as for children with rachitic conditions. Rice contains a number of useful minerals, especially potassium, phosphorus, and magnesium. It is also rich in vitamins - B2 and PP.
However, we should not forget that the beneficial properties and relatively low calorie content of this dish do not deprive this product of some contraindications. For example, it is not recommended for people with diabetes, atherosclerosis, kidney and liver diseases and diseases of the pancreas, stomach and bile ducts.
This dish contains fat-soluble vitamins, chemical elements, cholesterol, vegetable and animal fats, proteins, and carbohydrates. It is recommended for children over 5 years old (but in limited quantities).

What determines the calorie content of Philadelphia rolls?
Calorie content depends on the cooking method. For example, the most high-calorie foods are baked rolls and tempura. The latter are deep-fried in batter with a lot of oil. A 100 g serving of such rolls can contain about 200 kcal, baked – 270 kcal.
A dish with brown rice would be healthier. Despite the fact that the calorie content of the products is identical, brown rice contains more fiber (3.5 g, white - 2.8 g) and protein (7.6 g, white - 6.8 g).
The main component of rolls, white polished rice, can be the main reason for weight gain.
Brown rice undergoes minimal processing, as a result of which the beneficial substances are preserved in almost complete volume. In the process of grinding white rice, the husk, a source of valuable substances, is removed. The calorie content of a serving will increase if you add sauce to it. One of the most high-calorie sauces is Unagi, which is high in sugar.
100 g of Philadelphia cream cheese will add up to 342 kcal to the dish. To reduce the energy value of rolls, you can replace this cheese with less calories, for example, Creme Bonjour (270 kcal) or curd Almette (216 kcal). It is important to consider that the fat content in 100 g of these cheeses reaches 44-45%.
The most dietary option would be to use low-fat soft cottage cheese (37 kcal), to which greens are added to improve taste. Including fresh vegetables and herbs in the rolls will help reduce calories and increase the amount of fiber. Rolls with vegetables and herbs without adding rice will bring more benefits.
