Butter is one of the fattest components of the recipe (100 g/899 kcal).

How many calories are in a serving of borscht?

Borscht made with beef broth is considered traditional, so using its example we will now look at the calorie content. To do this, it is necessary to take into account the nutritional value of all components of the product. The broth can be made from pulp or meat on the bone. To reduce calorie content and improve the quality of the finished borscht, after the meat boils and foam appears, you need to change the water. This will make the broth not only cleaner, but also less caloric.

Let's calculate the calorie content and energy value of 100 grams of the finished product, if 1 kg of meat is placed in 4 liters of water.

• If the meat was with a bone during cooking, then the broth contains approximately 25 kcal.
• If it was prepared from pulp, then the calorie content of the broth is approximately 30 kcal.

Nutritional value also differs between bone and meat broth.

• Meat contains 2.3 g of protein, 1.1 g of fat, 2.6 g of carbohydrates.
• Bone contains 4 g of proteins, 1.3 g of fat, 0.2 g of carbohydrates.

A standard set of vegetables is often used to prepare the dish. Many housewives add beets, cabbage, potatoes, onions, carrots, seasonings, and herbs during cooking. For frying, use vegetable oil or lard, as well as tomato juice or paste. When serving, add sour cream or mayonnaise to a serving plate. With this addition, the serving becomes 50-60 kcal more caloric.

Here is the calorie content of the vegetables that are part of the dish:

• Cabbage – 24 kcal.
• Potatoes – 76 kcal.
• Beets – 51 kcal.
• Onions – 40 kcal.
• Carrots – 38 kcal.

Considering all this data, we can conclude that the calorie content of borscht with beef is approximately 40-60 calories per 100 grams. One serving will give you 200 kcal, and with the addition of mayonnaise or sour cream - approximately 250 kcal. The calorie content of borscht with chicken will also depend on many nuances, the quality of the meat, the amount of ingredients, but on average there are 40-60 kcal per 100 grams of product

Much depends on the amount of meat and water for the broth. For example, if you take 1 kg of pork for borscht and 4 liters of water, the calorie content of the finished product will be approximately 60 kcal; if you reduce the amount of pork, the calorie content will drop to 35-40 kcal.
