How many calories are in mackerel baked in the oven? Baked
The peculiarity of mackerel baked in the oven is that with this method of cooking carbohydrates appear in the fish, albeit in small quantities, but they appear, because the digital indicator is less than one gram. If the goal is to reduce the amount of carbohydrates consumed as much as possible, then when baking mackerel you should not overuse spices and marinating sauces, since it is due to them that the amount of carbohydrates in the finished dish increases. As for the caloric content of a dish prepared in this way, the indicator, in comparison with boiled fish, is lower, amounting to 194 kcal. If you bake fish in foil, where it languishes in its own juice, then the energy value of such a dish is slightly lower than with traditional baking on a baking sheet, and is approximately 160 kcal.
As for BJU, the indicator of such a dish has the following indicators:
- proteins – 17 g;
- fats – 10 g;
- carbohydrates – 0.4 g.
Important! Despite the fact that the carbohydrate level has increased slightly, eating fish will be quite justified, since the amount of fat in the dish has slightly decreased.
If it is unacceptable to eat dishes containing at least some amount of fats and carbohydrates, then we recommend preparing cold smoked mackerel. This dish is a leader among different methods of preparing fish in terms of protein content. Its indicator is just over 23 grams per 100 grams of product. Fats are also reduced here (6.5 g), and carbohydrates are completely absent. When buying smoked fish in a store, you should know that there is a huge difference between seafood prepared by different smoking methods - cold and hot. Many people, seriously mistaken, believe that the difference is only in price (cold smoking is slightly cheaper than hot smoking), but in fact it is worth considering several factors.
- The difference in taste and shape of the fish is slightly noticeable. Mackerel prepared by cold smoking holds its shape better, and its taste is slightly closer to pickled fish. And mackerel, prepared by hot smoking, both in shape and taste resembles boiled fish.
- The main difference lies in the energy value of the products. Its indicator is 318 kcal, while log-smoked mackerel contains about 190 kcal. BJU will be as follows: proteins – 22 g;
- fats – almost 24 g;
- carbohydrates – 4 g.
Important! Despite the numbers, it cannot be said that such fish is harmful; on the contrary, it has a beneficial effect on the functioning of the heart and blood vessels. You just need to understand that with such indicators, with frequent use, it is almost impossible to lose excess weight if we are not talking about visiting the gym.
In our country, it is traditionally believed that mackerel is suitable only for salting, marinating and smoking (even in principle, few housewives prepare healthy fish baked in foil, choosing carp or bream for these purposes). But you still need to keep in mind that mackerel is quite suitable for stewing and frying. Moreover, the energy value of stewed fish is an advantage, for example, over smoked fish (it contains 139 kcal). And this takes into account the fact that, as a rule, fish is stewed with vegetables (carrots, onions, tomatoes and others).
Fried fish is less healthy than stewed fish due to the presence of cholesterol in it, which is explained by cooking with oil. In addition, there is a noticeable jump in carbohydrates (1.6 g), but proteins and fats remain between 17 and 16 grams. The energy value is 221 kcal.
