Chemical composition of dumplings
Pelmeni (calorie content of 10 pieces is determined taking into account the method of preparation and filling) is a national Russian dish, the classic recipe of which involves the use of minced meat made from natural meat, salt, pepper, eggs, onions and a small amount of flour.
They include a number of beneficial nutrients in their chemical composition:
- vitamin A;
- B vitamins;
- vitamin C (or ascorbic acid);
- vitamin D (or cholecalciferol);
- vitamin E (or tocopherol);
- vitamin H (or biotin);
- vitamin PP;
- calcium;
- phosphorus;
- magnesium;
- selenium;
- fluorine;
- iron;
- iodine.
The concentration of macro and micronutrients depends on the quality of the dumplings filling. The more natural meat a product contains, the healthier it will be for humans.
Properties of dumplings
Among the main positive properties of dumplings are:
- their ability to create a feeling of satiety in a person that lasts for a long time (4-5 hours);
- high speed and ease of preparation of the product (this feature allows dumplings to be included in the diet of younger schoolchildren, who can prepare their own dish without the help of adults);
- the minimum amount of ingredients required for home preparation of this product;
- accessibility in terms of financial costs (the cost of 400-500 g of factory-made dumplings varies from 80 to 200 rubles. When preparing them at home, about 150-200 rubles will be spent on ingredients for 1 kg);
- the ability to adjust the recipe based on the health characteristics of a particular person (for example, excluding onions from the composition if there is an allergy to this vegetable), without significant loss of the taste of the product.
The benefits and harms of flour dishes
If the dumplings were prepared at home from high quality products, they are not only harmless to the human body, but even have benefits:
- contains a large amount of nutrients (microelements, vitamins and minerals);
- the presence of a high concentration of fiber (found in wheat dough);
- supplying the body with a sufficient amount of protein (especially important when using poultry meat as a filling for dumplings);
- the content of lysine in the natural filling is a microelement that has a positive effect on the strength of the tissues of the skeletal system;
- the ability to normalize the level of hemoglobin in the blood (provided that natural beef or veal is used as filling);
- increase in human energy and performance;
- strengthening the immune system (by supplying the body with the amino acids it needs).
Possible harm from dumplings is:
- fluid retention in the body;
- exacerbation of serious chronic gastrointestinal pathologies;
- the occurrence of bloating and heaviness in the abdomen;
- the presence of gluten, which can cause an acute allergic reaction;
- increased blood pressure (as a result of fluid retention in the body).
How many calories are dumplings made from the fattest types of meat?
Heavy dumplings are those that contain lamb or pork meat. The fact is that when using such meat, a large percentage of the lard and fat that is present in the filling is used. Of course, some of it comes out during heat treatment, but this cannot radically change the situation.
As mentioned above, at the moment there are pork dumplings that have a calorie content of more than 330 calories per 100 grams of product. This makes them very difficult for the stomach to accept, which can cause some problems.
Also, in this case, it is worth understanding that heavy dumplings also include those that are prepared exclusively with lamb meat. They have a much higher nutritional value than pork - more than 500 calories for a given weight of food.
It is important to consider that when frying dumplings, their energy value increases several times, so if you are watching your figure, you should definitely take this into account and also pay attention to the method of heat treatment.
In order to digest lamb meat, the body sometimes requires more than 6 hours. This is due to the presence of a large amount of fat and energy value in it.

How many calories are in dumplings "Fries"?
By the way, due to the intensive globalization of all spheres of life, and especially the food sector, a separate dish in the fast food system has appeared in the world - these are fried dumplings.
The calorie content of fried dumplings is 290 kcal per 100 g. finished product.
And now it’s worth moving on to the question with which we started - actually about the calorie content of the product itself. As a rule, the average dumplings contain approximately three hundred to four hundred kcal per hundred grams. However, some subtypes of dumplings (depending on the manufacturer) contain, on the other hand, about three hundred and twenty kcal for the same weight. Others, for example “Ostankino”, contain two hundred and sixty kcal. But in Moscow dumplings you can find all five hundred kilocalories in one hundred grams of the product.
What determines the calorie content of dumplings?
The calorie content of specific dumplings depends on:
- filling recipes (quality of meat, its grade; presence of additives that increase the calorie content of the product, for example, butter);
- dough recipes (the amount of flour required for making dumpling dough, the type of flour - wheat, corn, whole grain, and so on);
- method of preparing the final dish (cooking in salted water, baking in the oven, frying in a pan, and so on).

The most juicy, but high-calorie dumplings will be stuffed with pork, fried in a frying pan with butter (up to 350 Kcal per 100 g).
If a flour product is included in the diet of someone losing weight, to minimize the amount of calories it contains, you must:
- For filling, use chicken breast or turkey meat;
- Use whole grain flour to knead the dough;
- Boil dumplings or bake them in the oven under foil.
Dumplings that won't make you gain weight.
Welcome everyone to my channel.
Here I share my experience of losing weight (already minus 57 kg) and recipes for low-calorie dishes that are included in my diet.
I long ago gave up strict diets and hunger strikes, which did not lead to anything good except for gaining even more extra pounds after them.
For more than a year and a half I have been following a healthy diet and calorie deficit.
My menu contains only delicious and satisfying dishes, adapted and prepared with the least amount of calories.
Who doesn't love dumplings? It seems to me that everyone loves dumplings.
Why not prepare a supply of the right dumplings that everyone can eat, including me, who is slimming, I thought and brought my idea to life.
You can watch the video recipe, the link to which is at the end of the article.
I prepared two versions of the test and will tell you about both.
- whole grain wheat flour - 200 g,
- warm water 120-140 g (flour varies, you can take less or more, add 100 ml first, then another 30, look at the consistency),
- 1 tablespoon vinegar 9%,
- 1 tablespoon olive oil,
- a pinch of salt.
- Add all the ingredients to the flour and knead the dough.
- 400 g whole grain wheat flour,
- 200 ml warm water,
- 1 egg
- a pinch of salt.
Mix water with egg, add salt and stir in flour.
In both versions, the dough is elastic and elastic. However, I liked the first option more, because the dough is less torn and more elastic.
And both dough options are tender in taste.
✅For the filling for the first version of the dough, I took:
- chicken breast - 160g,
- turkey thigh - 250g,
- onions - 120g,
- garlic - 10g,
- salt, black pepper to taste and a pinch of khmeli-suneli,
- 50 ml water.
We make minced meat, onions, garlic, add spices and about 50 ml of water.
Roll out the dough, sprinkle with flour.
I made some by hand, and some using a special mold for making dumplings.
I placed the finished dumplings in the freezer on cutting boards sprinkled with flour to prevent them from sticking together. As soon as they are frozen, you can lay them out in portions.
In addition, you can stick dumplings with suluguni, garlic and herbs, for example.
Calorie analysis
Dumplings (the calorie content of 10 pieces of product in some cases can be up to 30% of the total daily calories) can have different energy values, which depend on the type of minced meat and the method of preparing the dish.
How many calories are in 1 piece?
When calculating the number of calories contained in 1 dumpling, it is necessary to take into account that the manufacturer on the product packaging or the author of the recipe in his description of the algorithm for creating a homemade dish indicates the calorie content per 100 g of ready-made dumplings.
Such a portion (assuming the dumplings are medium-sized) will contain 12 pieces of product.
Using this data, you can make the following calculations:
- dumplings stuffed with beef (100 g contains 275 Kcal - 275:12 = about 23 Kcal in 1 dumpling);
- dumplings stuffed with fish and pork (100 g contains 296 Kcal - 296:12 = about 25 Kcal in 1 dumpling);
- dumplings stuffed with lamb (100 g contains 255 Kcal - 255:12 = about 21 Kcal in 1 dumpling);
- vegetarian dumplings made from mushroom filling with the addition of cabbage (100 g contains 240 Kcal - 240:12 = about 20 Kcal in 1 dumpling).
How many calories are in a 10 piece serving?
Understanding how to calculate the calorie content of 1 dumpling, knowing only the indicator contained in 100 g, you can make the appropriate calculations to determine the amount of Kcal in a serving of 10 pieces. product:
- Find information about how many kcal are contained in 100 g of the finished product.
- Divide the amount of Kcal by 12 (the number of medium-sized dumplings placed in 100 g servings).
- Multiply the resulting number by 10 (the number of dumplings whose calorie content needs to be calculated).
Energy table per 100 g
It is more convenient to calculate the calorie content of any type of dumplings, in the amount of 10 pieces, using a summary table of energy value:
type of product | Average calorie content per 100 g |
Boiled dumplings | Up to 230 Kcal |
Fried dumplings | Up to 320 Kcal |
Baked dumplings | Up to 200 Kcal |
Dumplings stuffed with beef | Up to 280 Kcal |
Dumplings stuffed with lamb | Up to 260 Kcal |
Dumplings stuffed with pork | Up to 230 Kcal |
Dumplings stuffed with chicken breast | Up to 200 Kcal |
Dumplings stuffed with turkey | Up to 210 Kcal |
Homemade dumplings (classic recipe; filled with pork and beef) | Up to 280 Kcal |
Store-bought dumplings (classic recipe; filled with pork and beef) | Up to 300 Kcal |
The calorie content of a flour product can vary in both directions by 10-30 Kcal, depending on the minor ingredients added to the product.

Fried dumplings - calorie content per 100 grams
Fried products have now become a fairly common method of preparing this dish, but in this case it is worth considering what products were used, namely store-bought or homemade, and in what amount of oil the product was heat treated.
When frying, any products made from meat filling and dough absorb large amounts of oil, since the dough, in order to be fully cooked, must have a large amount of oil and a high temperature.
When frying dumplings with chicken filling, their energy value is approximately 550 calories per 100 grams of product, if vegetable sunflower oil was used during preparation. When cooked with butter, this calorie content will be approximately 670 calories for the same weight.
Fried ground beef products will have 690 calories when fried in vegetable oil and 770 calories when fried in butter.
Dumplings that are made from minced pork and are also heat-treated by frying will have the highest percentage of nutritional value of the product, starting from 750 calories when fried in vegetable oil, and more than 800 calories when fried in butter.
A large amount of fat is also absorbed into the minced meat during heat treatment. This factor must be taken into account when preparing this type of dish.
