Calorie content of kefir: types and beneficial properties

Product calorie analysis

SHARE OF BZHU IN CALORIES

Ratio of proteins, fats and carbohydrates:

Knowing the contribution of proteins, fats and carbohydrates to calorie content, you can understand how well a product or diet meets the standards of a healthy diet or the requirements of a certain diet. For example, the US and Russian Departments of Health recommend 10-12% of calories come from protein, 30% from fat and 58-60% from carbohydrates. The Atkins diet recommends low carbohydrate intake, although other diets focus on low fat intake.

Rich in vitamins and minerals such as: calcium - 12%, phosphorus - 11.3%

• Calcium
  is the main component of our bones, acts as a regulator of the nervous system, and is involved in muscle contraction. Calcium deficiency leads to demineralization of the spine, pelvic bones and lower extremities, increasing the risk of developing osteoporosis.
• Phosphorus
  takes part in many physiological processes, including energy metabolism, regulates acid-base balance, is part of phospholipids, nucleotides and nucleic acids, and is necessary for the mineralization of bones and teeth. Deficiency leads to anorexia, anemia, and rickets.

Energy value, or calorie content

- this is the amount of energy released in the human body from food during the digestion process. The energy value of the product is measured in kilocalories (kcal) or kilojoules (kJ) per 100 grams. product. The kilocalorie used to measure the energy value of food is also called a food calorie, so when caloric content is reported in (kilo)calories, the prefix kilo is often omitted. You can see detailed energy value tables for Russian products.

The nutritional value

— content of carbohydrates, fats and proteins in the product.

Nutritional value of food product

- a set of properties of a food product, in the presence of which the physiological needs of a person for the necessary substances and energy are satisfied.

Vitamins

, organic substances required in small quantities in the diet of both humans and most vertebrates. Vitamin synthesis is usually carried out by plants, not animals. A person's daily requirement for vitamins is only a few milligrams or micrograms. Unlike inorganic substances, vitamins are destroyed by strong heat. Many vitamins are unstable and are “lost” during cooking or food processing.

Kefir has been used as food since the time humans first discovered milk. It was first used as a tasty, nutritious drink, and later its positive effects on the body became known. Kefir is obtained by fermenting milk. Depending on the fat content of milk, kefir is produced in two types: full-fat and low-fat. One percent kefir

refers to the fatty type. Its use is recommended as a dietary product. The color of kefir should be white without any shades, the smell should be slightly sour, with a pronounced milky taste without bitterness or an unpleasant aftertaste. The density of kefir should be homogeneous, without lumps. Kefir is prepared from pasteurized milk using special starter cultures. Kefir is also used in cosmetic procedures.

Kefir 1 percent for weight loss

Kefir is considered one of the best products for weight loss, not without reason: there are many known kefir diets, and any of them, if followed correctly, can bring many health benefits.

Why is kefir so effective in helping you lose excess weight?

Live bacteria - probiotics, which form the healthy flora of our intestines, are contained in kefir in huge quantities. Nowadays, healthy and complete intestinal flora has become a rarity, and it is not surprising that most people have a digestive tract filled with waste, toxins, excess fluid and fecal stones. All these “deposits” often make up a considerable part of the body weight: even in people who are not too fat, 10-12 kg of such ballast can be “stored” in the intestines, and regular consumption of kefir allows you to quickly and gently cleanse everything. If you have chronic constipation, they go away quickly - you only need to drink kefir for one or two days, and this already contributes to weight loss.

The proteins contained in kefir allow you not to feel hungry for quite a long time - that is, the kefir diet is not so difficult to “maintain” - and they also speed up the process of burning fat. There are few carbohydrates in kefir - approximately 5% per 100 g of product. And calcium, which kefir is also rich in, prevents the accumulation of fat deposits - or rather, helps the body burn calories faster; at least, this is the conclusion that American researchers recently came to.

Kefir can be easily incorporated into any low-calorie diet. For example, when we eat raw vegetables and fruits, we may suffer from increased gas formation in the intestines, and kefir probiotics suppress these processes and promote faster digestion of food.

Even if you do without diets and simply include kefir in your diet as often as possible, your weight will tend to normal. A glass of kefir with fresh fruits or berries can be a complete and healthy breakfast, but you don’t need to choose a low-fat product: this way you will get hungry faster, and at lunch you will want to eat something “substantial” - your efforts will be in vain.

By the way, you can drink kefir at lunch, instead of dessert, sweet tea or coffee. Many women, whose work involves mental stress, really want sweets by the time the lunch break comes around. Drink a glass of kefir with 1 tsp. honey and 1/2 tsp. cinnamon is delicious. With the help of cinnamon, you can improve metabolism, slightly lower blood glucose levels, slow down the process of digesting food - this also helps you eat less than usual.

Both options will do, or you can use them at the same time.

The most common recommendation is to combine kefir with buckwheat in the morning, but you can eat this way for no longer than 7-14 days. Otherwise, headaches may begin, a feeling of weakness and overwork will appear.

A breakfast of buckwheat with kefir allows you to avoid overeating and rids the body of many accumulated “clogs.” Since the gastrointestinal tract begins to function normally, metabolic processes and the burning of subcutaneous fat accelerate, the level of “bad” cholesterol decreases, and excess weight disappears. At the same time, blood pressure is normalized, the immune system is strengthened, and the condition of blood vessels and heart function improves. In about a week, the result will be noticeable not only from the inside, but also from the outside: your health will improve, your weight will decrease, you will move easier and more freely. Of course, during the day you should not eat fatty, salty, spicy foods, soft pastries, sweets and smoked foods, otherwise kefir-buckwheat breakfasts are unlikely to help you lose weight.

You can prepare this breakfast in different ways. In the evening, a portion of buckwheat (3-4 tbsp) is sorted out, washed, poured boiling water into a thermos and left until the morning. In the morning, pour a glass of kefir and eat. There is no need to add salt, butter and sugar.

You can also pour kefir over buckwheat in the evening. You need about twice as much as cereal. It is better to leave the kefir-buckwheat mixture in a cool place, covered with a lid. If desired, you can add some herbs and raw non-starchy vegetables to the resulting dish - for example, cucumbers. After breakfast, at least 4 hours should pass before the next meal.

Why is kefir combined with buckwheat? In this case, “two benefits” come together. Buckwheat contains a lot of fiber: the stomach takes a long time to digest it, and the appetite is “silent” during this time. There are also a lot of carbohydrates in buckwheat, and they are complex, or slow: glucose enters the blood gradually, and not in spurts, and adipose tissue does not increase. Buckwheat is also very rich in vitamins and minerals, and in the process of losing weight, when the body lacks nutrients, this is very important.

You can also prepare something like a kefir cocktail with fruits and berries in the morning. A glass of kefir is mixed in a blender with 1/2 banana (pear, apple, peach) and 100-150 grams of berries - an excellent breakfast.

Kefir, drunk at night, helps to lose weight during sleep, and also rejuvenates cells and tissues, thanks to the “work” of calcium and milk protein; In addition, you will fall asleep faster and sleep more peacefully. You shouldn’t drink full-fat kefir at night, but low-fat kefir is also not an option. It is better to choose a product with a fat content of 1%, and eat it slowly, with a spoon, adding some fiber with milk thistle or other cleansing plants.

However, there are different recipes.

For example, mix 200-250 ml of kefir with rosehip syrup or honey (1 tsp), 1/2 tsp. cinnamon and 1 tbsp. any bran.

Another cocktail: to 250 ml of kefir add 100-150 g of mashed melon pulp and 1 tsp. cinnamon.

Here are a few more simple and inexpensive recipes for cocktails and smoothies with kefir that will help bring your weight back to normal. You can follow a diet on them - no longer than 7 days, or simply include them in the menu from time to time.

A kefir-beetroot smoothie is a good way to lose weight - something like a cold soup. For a liter of kefir - 500 g of boiled beets, grated. You can also add grated fresh cucumber and dill (parsley, celery) to the mixture and eat it all throughout the day. Cucumbers with dill can also be eaten as an addition, in the form of a salad - of course, without oil and salt. You can lose 5 extra kg in a week.

You can make smoothies not with beets, but with apples. Per liter of kefir - 7-8 medium-sized apples and 1.5-2 tsp. cinnamon. Beat in a blender. Option: do not eat all day, but only for breakfast and/or dinner.

A cocktail with cinnamon (1 tsp per 500 ml of kefir), a pinch of ginger and hot pepper speeds up metabolism and cleansing processes - this helps remove the “folded” stomach. You can drink it after breakfast - low-calorie, of course - or instead of dinner (or an hour after). If you have gastrointestinal diseases, you should not drink this cocktail.

A cocktail with fresh ginger (100 g per 500 ml), grated on a coarse grater, and honey (1 tbsp), also perfectly replaces dinner and helps strengthen the immune system.

Losing weight with kefir is easy because it is low in calories, improves digestion and prevents you from getting hungry quickly. However, this most useful product should be used wisely: on average, an adult (excluding diet options) should preferably drink no more than 2 glasses of kefir per day.

Drinks, smoothies and cocktails should be at room temperature.

Return to the beginning of the Healthy body section Return to the beginning of the Beauty and Health section

Such a popular fermented milk drink in our country, kefir, first appeared in ancient times in Ossetia. And it came to our region at the beginning of the 20th century. Even in ancient times it was considered an elixir of beauty, youth and long life.

Nowadays, it is known that it is very beneficial for health and helps to get rid of extra pounds. Today we will tell you what is included in this drink, how many calories are in a glass of kefir, and what kefir-based diets should be tried by those who want to lose weight.

The product is classified according to criteria such as the percentage of fat content, the degree of accumulation of alcohol and carbon dioxide and acidity.

Depending on the fat content, it comes in three types:

low-fat – 0.5 -1 percent fat content; medium fat content - .2 5 percent; with a high fat content - 8-9 percent fat content, respectively.

In terms of the number of lactic acid bacteria, a product is considered normal if this indicator is at the level of 10 7 .

There is also a classification of the drink according to the level of ripening:

one-day - a weak product with a minimum amount of lactic acid and a minimum of alcohol. It is recommended for use by those who suffer from constipation, as it has a laxative effect; two-day - medium strength drink; three-day - has a fixing property and contains alcohol and acid in large quantities.

Below you will find out how many calories are contained in 100 grams of the drink, as well as how much protein, fat and carbohydrates are present in it.

So, 100 grams of full-fat kefir includes:

86 calories; 2.8 g protein; 3.2 g fat; 4.7 g carbohydrates.

And the calorie content and other indicators of a low-fat product are as follows:

53 calories; 3 g proteins; 2.5 g fat; 3.8 carbohydrates

In addition to protein and calorie content, other components are also important. So, 100 grams of drinks contain:

calcium (120 mg); sodium (50 g); potassium (146 mg); phosphorus (95 mg).

Kefir also contains vitamins of such groups as B1, B2, B 12 and C.

As you can see, the calorie content of the product is quite low, so this fermented milk drink is included in most weight loss diets.

Very often, a person’s excess weight is caused by a large amount of carbohydrates consumed. Kefir contains up to 20 times less of them than cookies, marmalade or waffles, not to mention chocolate. Naturally, drinking it is much better for your figure than a cup of tea with cookies.

Kefir also contains little fat and is easily digestible. The least amount of them is found in low-fat kefir, and most of them are present in the most fatty kefir. To lose weight, in most cases it is recommended to choose a low-fat product – 1 percent or lower. Low-fat calorie content is only 31 kcal per 100 grams of product. Low-fat kefir is also good because it is excellent for cleansing the body of toxins. A 1 percent drink contains 40 kcal per 100 grams of product. A glass of low-fat drink (200 g) contains about 60-80 kcal.

Naturally, not everyone likes fat-free and low-fat kefir, so many choose a drink with a fat content of 2.5 percent. Nutritionists say that this kind of kefir is the most balanced in terms of its content of carbohydrates, fats and proteins. The calorie content of 100 g is 53 kcal , and a glass of drink is 106 kcal, respectively.

Buyers also often prefer a drink with a fat content of 3.2 percent. It has a rich and delicate taste compared to less fatty options. And calcium from dairy products is best absorbed with the maximum amount of fat, so for children and the elderly it is better to choose this kind of kefir. Its calorie content is 56 kcal per 100 grams, that is, 113 kcal per glass.

It is produced by fermentation, as a result of which it receives a large number of useful properties. The milk molecules in it are destroyed by lactic acid bacteria , which promotes better absorption of the product by the body. The drink contains substances such as:

vitamins; amino acids; enzymes; antibacterial components.

2. Next, the milk is normalized to the required fat content. If there is less fat in the original milk than needed, then cream is added to it, and if there is more fat, then skim milk is added to the original milk or separated.
3. At this stage of the kefir production process, milk undergoes homogenization, that is, under strong external pressure, the fat globules in the milk are crushed into smaller ones, passing through a narrow valve gap.
4. Then the milk is pasteurized and heated to 85 - 92 degrees Celsius in order to destroy pathogenic microflora. Pasteurization provides the necessary taste, density and viscosity of kefir.
5. Next, the milk is cooled to the temperature required for ripening - 23-25 ​​degrees Celsius.
6. At this stage, kefir grains are fermented. Kefir grains are kept for 24 hours in water heated to 25-30 degrees Celsius, the water is changed 2-3 times a day. After which the water is drained and the fungi are poured with warm milk in a volume 10 times the volume of the fungi and kept at a temperature of 10-12 degrees Celsius for 12-24 hours.
7. Next, the starter, with a volume of 5% of the fermented mixture and cooled to the temperature of the fermented mixture, is placed in the mixture and fermented at a temperature of 23-25 ​​degrees Celsius until a milk-protein clot with an acidity of pH 4.5-4.65 is formed. During ripening, the microflora of the starter multiplies, coagulates casein, increases acidity, and forms a clot.
8. Then the curd is mixed and cooled to a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius for 10-30 minutes.
9. At this stage, the curd is left to mature for 6-10 hours. During this time, yeast begins to ferment, alcohol and carbon dioxide are formed, which gives kefir a special taste.

The benefits of homemade kefir

Most often, kefir prepared at home contains more beneficial bacteria, vitamins, as well as micro- and macroelements and polyunsaturated fatty acids. However, homemade fermented milk drink has a shorter shelf life.

The benefits of homemade kefir for humans are as follows:

1. The one-day drink has laxative properties, so it is recommended to drink it for bowel problems such as constipation. It removes waste and toxins from the body.
2. The two-day drink is recommended for people with diseases such as gastritis, diabetes, hypertension, kidney and liver diseases, colitis, heart disease, and bronchitis. Recommended for those who have suffered a stroke and myocardial infarction.
3. Three-day kefir has the opposite properties to one-day kefir. It strengthens, so it is recommended to drink the drink to treat indigestion.

Also, one-day homemade kefir helps with flatulence, bloating and heaviness in the stomach. To eliminate discomfort, it is recommended to drink the drink in the morning or at night before bed.

Benefits of buckwheat and cinnamon

To improve digestion, it is recommended to start the morning with kefir, but not in its pure form, but together with other products, such as buckwheat, oatmeal, cereals, flax and cinnamon, to enhance the positive effect on the body.

It is useful to eat raw buckwheat soaked/brewed with kefir on an empty stomach, since buckwheat contains a large amount of dietary fiber, and kefir contains bifidobacteria. Eating the dish speeds up the process of cleansing the intestines of toxins, after which it fills it with beneficial flora.

Kefir with the addition of cinnamon helps you lose weight and quickly satisfies your hunger. Cinnamon reduces appetite and helps speed up metabolism, while kefir cleanses the intestines, making cinnamon components better absorbed into the blood.

Kefir with the addition of flax and grains helps you feel full faster, cleanse your intestines and maintain a feeling of fullness for a longer period.

Kefir as a means for weight loss

During a fasting day, the daily dose of kefir consumption should not exceed 2 liters. It is recommended to take it with a higher fat content, for example, 2.5%, to satisfy the feeling of hunger and maintain satiety for a longer period.

Harm of kefir:

Kefir has mostly beneficial properties, but in some cases it can be harmful to human health. People with individual intolerance to it and some aggravated diseases should avoid kefir. Kefir can cause harm to the body during exacerbation of gastritis and pancreatitis. You should not use kefir if your stomach ulcer has worsened.

Kefir should be given to children with extreme caution, as it can overload the child’s kidneys due to its high protein and mineral content. Alcohol can enter the child’s body with kefir and have a negative effect on the fragile body. A child's digestive system may not be able to digest casein and fatty acids, which can lead to tummy upset and bloating. Kefir can increase hemoglobin levels, which will lead to a general disorder in the child’s body. The amount of kefir that can be given to a child depends on the individual characteristics of the baby, so before including kefir in the child’s diet, you should consult with a pediatrician.

Regardless of its calorie content, kefir is one of the most useful products both when losing weight and when trying to normalize the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract. Enriched with beneficial bifidobacteria and fungi, especially valuable for the intestinal microflora, it is part of the group of products that are not harmful even when consumed at night. You shouldn’t look at the calorie value of kefir: not a single gram will be deposited in the wrong places.

What else is worth noting among the useful points - besides the calorie content - of 1% kefir is its ability to accelerate metabolism. After all, in the process of losing weight, it is important not just to lose a certain number of kilograms, but to make sure that they do not gain again. And it is fast metabolism that should help in this matter.

Dependence of calorie content of kefir on fat content and additives

In fact, the difference between the calorie content of 1% kefir and, for example, completely low-fat kefir is small. Just like the difference between the number of calories in 1% kefir and 3.2%. The dependence will come from the chemical composition and additives, since kefir and kefir drink are not the same thing. And, naturally, the latter will be higher in calories.

The lightest, of course, is low-fat kefir, the calorie content of which can vary from 27 to 32 kcal, and most people losing weight prefer it. From the point of view of benefits for the body, this is also the right choice: low-fat kefir removes waste and toxins better than others, leaving a feeling of lightness and weightlessness. And due to the reduction of fat in the body while consuming low-fat kefir, it is recommended even for hypertensive patients and those suffering from atherosclerosis. In terms of energy value, however, we can say that there is nothing in it except water, organic acids, minerals and mono- and disaccharides: the values ​​of proteins, fats and carbohydrates tend to zero.

As for 1% kefir, the calorie content of which is slightly higher than that of its low-fat counterpart, it is worth choosing kefir rather than a kefir drink. The question of preference is determined by the fact that the latter not only has higher calorie content, but also the benefits to the body due to the presence of undesirable ingredients in the composition are minimal. Kefir, which has a fat content of 3.2%, is actually also harmless for those losing weight: its calorie content reaches a maximum of 57 kcal.

How many calories are in a glass of kefir?

The nutritional value of this fermented milk drink is directly related to its fat content. There is a wide range of kefir on the market, ranging from low-fat products to higher-calorie products. But even kefir with the maximum amount of fat is not that high in calories. How many calories are in 1 percent kefir? A 100 g serving contains about 34 kilocalories. But one glass with a nominal volume of 200 ml contains from 75 to 80 kilocalories.

On a note! There is kefir on sale with 0% fat content. But most experts argue that this is just a marketing ploy. In fact, it is impossible to completely eliminate fat from fermented milk drinks.

Next in line is kefir with a fat concentration of 2.5%. What is its nutritional value? 100 g contains approximately 53 kilocalories. But the nutritional value of one glass with a nominal volume of 200 ml will fluctuate between 105-115 kilocalories.

And finally - the fattest kefir with a fat content of 3.2%. Its energy value will be a maximum of 60 kilocalories per 100 g of product. And one glass of this drink contains no more than 130 kilocalories.

It is not at all difficult to calculate how many calories are in a liter of kefir. So, a drink with 1% fat content in 1000 ml will contain from 375 to 400 kilocalories. As for a fermented milk drink with a fat concentration of 2.5%, the same volume will contain from 525 to 575 kilocalories.

As you understand, the fattest kefir will have the maximum nutritional value. Its nutritional value per 1 liter of product will be approximately 630 kilocalories.

The most healthy dishes with kefir

Kefir is the basis for many diets that promote not only weight loss, but even the prevention of cancer. The most popular mono-diet, more familiar under the name “fasting day”, is aimed at a maximum of three days. During this period, only kefir is drunk in a volume of 1-1.5 liters, and up to 2 kg per day is lost.

Several other well-known diets include, in addition to drinking kefir, green tea, water and a rare indulgence in the form of a mug of coffee. Moreover, kefir should be fresh (today’s or yesterday’s), and its fat content should be only 1-1.5%. There are also, for example, kefir-curd days. And what’s interesting is that for those who are unable to withstand such harsh measures, lighter options have been invented. For example, consisting of kefir for breakfast, a couple of apples and a glass of kefir for second breakfast, a vegetable salad and steamed fish for lunch, kefir with apples for an afternoon snack, dinner in the form of a carrot casserole and a slice of bread. Before going to bed, you can drink a glass of kefir. Of course, such “unloading” will remove fewer kilograms than pure kefir, but will reduce the amount of stress for the body.

The main dish using kefir for the average Russian is, of course, okroshka. Due to the lightness of all its ingredients - tomatoes, cucumbers, kefir - its calorie content will not cause harm even with a large portion.

In addition, some porridges with the aim of losing weight insist on kefir. This method is used for buckwheat and oatmeal: the cereal is poured with kefir and left overnight in a cold place. Of course, this is not the most appetizing dish for constant consumption, but it is quite effective in terms of combating hated fat.

Reason three: drink kefir and lose weight

As nutritionists have proven and now strongly recommend to their patients, kefir should be consumed daily. It not only has a beneficial effect on digestion and helps prevent many serious ailments, but also promotes weight loss. It is this feature of the unique fermented milk product that Hollywood stars have chosen in their diets and successfully maintain their figure within the framework of world podium standards.

That is why today we will turn to the question of the calorie content of kefir. But it comes with different percentages of fat content. Consequently, young ladies who want to lose extra kilos and centimeters will be interested in how many calories are in low-fat kefir, first of all. After all, the coveted 0% on the packaging works magically.

We hasten to disappoint you a little - the difference between kefir with 0 and 1 on the package is not at all small, and the taste is slightly different. The calorie content of low-fat kefir is 30 kcal per 100 g. drink

Based on this, you need to find out how many calories are in kefir with 1% fat content. And if 0% is a “scam,” then 1% is reality.

The calorie content of 1% fat kefir ranges from 31 to 36 kcal, depending on GOST or DSTU according to which the product is produced. Even based on this indicator, we can conclude that the difference between kefir 0 and 1 is not that great (if it exists at all).

Many lovers of fermented milk still choose kefir with higher fat content, because its taste is softer and more delicate than its low-calorie counterpart. Is the difference really that big? And how many calories are in kefir 3.2% fat?

If you are not on a diet, but want to drink a delicious fermented milk drink, you don’t have to be afraid that extra centimeters will appear on your sides and waist. The calorie content of 3.2 percent kefir will not upset you for the simple reason that even it can be called a low-calorie drink (albeit with a slight stretch).

The calorie content of kefir 3.2 fat is 56 kcal, which is not a critical indicator even with diets. But you get enough proteins, fats and carbohydrates so as not to feel uncomfortable during the kefir diet.

We hasten to please you, there is a golden mean. Let's find out how many calories are in kefir 2.5% fat, and you will understand why. After all, if we talk about indicators based on other parameters, then the drink with the higher fat content still wins.

The calorie content of 2.5 fat kefir ranges from 50 to 53 kcal. And its composition is the most balanced in proteins, fats and carbohydrates. It is this factor that influences its preferred use during fasting days, which every person can afford (and, in principle, must). “Transferring” such a diet, so to speak, will not be difficult - after all, it is only one day a week. And you need to drink from 1 to 1.5 liters of fresh kefir with 2.5% fat content throughout the day. You will not immediately notice the result on the scale, but you will feel much better within 2-3 weeks, depending on how “trash” your body is.

Kefir is tasty and healthy. So start your day not only with oatmeal and a cup of coffee, but also with a glass of kefir.
