And give others more flour and a loaf in cutlets. In general, in reality, meat dishes are easy to cook for those who love minimalism in food. Not in terms of portions, but in terms of culinary manipulations. mimic the taste of foods such as fried cutlets, baked under cheese and mayonnaise roast almost fails. Another thing, you can learn to cook and relatively low calorie meals yummy.

How to cook diet meat dishes

Most general rule- do not fry. By immersing food in hot oil, we get something not very useful and 200 kcal “heavier” than the original version. Most doctors do not approve of eating fatty pork and lamb cooked in their own fat. Dishes from such meat can be tasty, but they are not very useful. They can raise blood cholesterol levels, contribute to hypertension, and are not very useful even for healthy people.

Frying in oil is replaced by baking:

in foil for soft meat, as if steamed;
in a baking bag - gives a delicate texture;
in parchment, special baking paper, to get a slightly drier crust;
on the grill - for almost complete imitation fried meat without frying.

Most quick ways cooking meat for a diet is stewing with a small amount water, steam cooking.

For goulash and fillets, almost any recipe is suitable. The main thing is that there should not be:

frying in bread crumbs, breading, flour;
marinade from mayonnaise or sauces such as "Thousand Islands" or "Cheese";
lots of oil in vegetable side dish to meat;
"cheese pillows" and other heritage of the Soviet catering with mayonnaise, cheese and butter on meat.

Long-term dieters don't usually bother themselves too much with cooking. A piece of meat with seasonings in foil and some vegetables and cereals as a side dish appear in their diet more often than cutlets and other minced meat products.
