It will be delicious and juicy if you take in equal parts pork and beef. But the minced chicken will also turn out appetizing and not dry. Then wash thoroughly and chop the greens. I used dill and spring onions. But other types of greenery can be used.
2. Mix all prepared ingredients. Beat 1 large chicken egg or two small ones. Add salt, pepper and garlic to taste. If there is no dried, you can use fresh, finely chopped it with a knife or passed through a special press.
3. Stir the minced meat for buckwheat cutlets. It should turn out homogeneous. Stir until it becomes more dense, and will not disintegrate when forming cutlets.
4. Form small balls and flatten them. But you can make a traditional elongated shape of cutlets. Bread them in breadcrumbs. Instead, you can use wheat flour or chopped oatmeal.
5. Cover a baking sheet or baking dish with parchment. Lubricate it with a little vegetable oil. Put the meatballs with buckwheat. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees. Cook cutlets in the oven for about half an hour (maybe a little longer).

If you follow the figure, finding the right side dish is a very important task. Judge for yourself: even boiled chicken breast ceases to be a dietary dish if it is adjacent to a plate, for example, with a portion of fried potatoes. We tell you what combinations of products will not harm the waist. And, of course, share recipes.

Some losing weight go to extremes: they either lean exclusively on vegetable side dishes, or refuse them altogether (in fear of “going over” with calories or carbohydrates). The disadvantages of both approaches are obvious: a week or two of such nutrition can lead to a breakdown (do you think what usually ends with thoughts like “I can’t look at vegetables anymore?”), Provoke an uncontrollable craving for sweets and make the diet unbalanced.

To avoid this, nutritionists recommend alternating in their diet three types of side dishes - vegetables, legumes and cereals. In addition to the fact that it is psychologically easier to follow a varied menu, a “complete set” of side dishes will help maintain a balance of important nutrients and even accelerate the weight loss process. “Cereal side dishes are the main source of complex carbohydrates and, accordingly, energy, as well as B vitamins, so with prolonged exclusion of cereals from the diet, you can harm your health and slow down metabolic processes in the body. Legumes are also important, they are rich in vegetable protein and contain a large amount of fiber, which improves digestion and accelerates the process of cleansing the body, "   - explains Nadezhda Suslina, endocrinologist-nutritionist, consultant of the company "DietArt".

And also some legumes - for example - help reduce cravings for sweets. “Masha’s taste is very pleasant and vaguely familiar, similar to mashed potatoes and lobio at the same time, and it also has nutty and grassy notes. They are satisfying and texture close to buns, so they drown out the passion for her. In addition, mung bean contains a lot of potassium, "   - explains Ksenia Tatarnikova, the author of the blog on the proper nutrition smart-cookie.ru.

It is true, however, to make a reservation: all of the above is not a reason to make dinner as a rule cutlets with buckwheat or pasta “in a navy style”. The right strategy is to mix three types of side dishes in your menu, guided by simple rules:

1. Watch the serving size and time of use. "If you are losing weight, it is recommended to eat about 150-300 g of cooked cereals per day,"   - recalls Nadezhda Suslina. That is, if you had breakfast with a portion of oatmeal, then for lunch you can afford about 150 grams of cereal garnish. But supper with them, like with any other carbohydrate dishes, is not worth it: in the evening the body will not have time to spend the energy from them and store them in the form of fat.

With beans, the situation is different: the daily norm for losing weight is 200-250 g in the finished form. “Those who reduce weight, it is better to choose green beans, lentils, green peas - they are less high-calorie. But it’s better not to get carried away with chickpeas and soy, ”   - advises Anna Karshieva, gastroenterologist at Atlas Medical Center. True, experts do not recommend dinner with legumes: they contain quite a lot of starch and hard-to-digest protein, which the body does not need in the evening.

But nutritionists are allowed to get involved in vegetable side dishes for lunch and dinner: there are relatively few carbohydrates in them, and they are absorbed quite easily. The daily dose is 300-400 g.

2. Properly prepare each type of side dish. With cereals and vegetables, everything is quite simple: an ideal option for losing weight is not to boil the first and cook the second with a crunch. This will help not only to store more nutrients in the products, but also slow down the absorption of carbohydrates from them (which will provide smoother fluctuations in blood sugar). Therefore, by the way, nutritionists do not recommend losing weight to use mashed potatoes as a side dish.

For beans, other rules. " If you have difficulties with digestion, give preference to mashed potatoes or semi-liquid porridge from them, these dishes will be easier to digest than whole foods. And gas formation in this case will be less ”- comments Anna Karshieva. To ease the digestion of legumes and such a trick: before cooking, soak them in plain water for a day. “This simple trick neutralizes phytic acid in their composition, which interferes with the normal absorption of calcium, and also facilitates the breakdown of a special type of legume fiber - galactomannans. "These complex sugars often remain undigested in the small intestine and can seriously impair the functioning of the digestive tract."“, explains Nadezhda Andreeva, a certified wellness coach and author of Happy Tummy.

3. Remember the most successful combinations of side dishes. We are not talking about the favorite rule of adherents of separate nutrition - carbohydrates and proteins have no place on one plate - nutritionists are skeptical about it. “With healthy digestion, both cereal and vegetable side dishes can be used together with meat dishes, this does not contradict the physiology of digestion”- explains Nadezhda Suslina.

Nutritionists do not recommend mixing legumes, cereals and animal proteins in one plate

Experts recommend paying attention to another aspect of food compatibility: it is not necessary to mix proteins of different types (animal and vegetable), as well as combine legumes with other hard-to-digest foods - bread, nuts. There is a special rule for pastas: pasta (even hard varieties) are well integrated into the diet of losing weight as an independent dish 1-2 times a week, but cannot be a side dish.

A real find for losing weight is mixed garnishes: those where legumes or cereals are combined with vegetables. Such dishes, as a rule, significantly reduce the calorie content of the diet and increase the amount of fiber in it.
