Each person has his own view on proper and dietary nutrition. Some, in pursuit of an ideal figure, refuse to eat food, leaving for themselves only a couple of drops of dew and a poppy seed. But this is not true. Nutrition should be complete and balanced. Diet meatballs fit ideally into your diet. Let's discuss the recipe for cooking them in the oven in more detail.

What you need to know about dietary nutrition?

As already mentioned, for many people, diet and hunger strike are synonymous words. Yes, of course, a dietary diet implies some restrictions and refusal of certain foods, but meat treats cannot be completely excluded.

Meat primarily contains protein, which is considered a building block not only of muscle tissue, but literally every cell in our body.

Meals should be complete, so you can add dietary chicken meatballs in the oven to your menu. Yes, it is best to cook meat treats in the oven. In this case, the dish will not contain excess fat.

Of course, preparing a dietary dish from pork tenderloin or lamb is something fantastic. It is better to give preference to turkey and chicken breast. Veal is also suitable.

Important! Industrially produced semi-finished minced meat has a questionable composition, so you cannot be 100% sure of its quality and freshness. It is better to buy, for example, chicken fillet or veal and grind it in a meat grinder.

Cooking features:

• minced pork and lamb are not suitable for preparing low-calorie dishes;
• there is no need to fry the meatballs before baking in the oven;
• do not use fats and refined oils;
• exclude high-calorie ingredients from the composition, for example, hard or processed cheese;
• Add cereals or vegetables to the minced meat, which serve as a source of carbohydrates.

Separately, let's talk about sauces. Of course, it’s unlikely that anyone will like eating unleavened meatballs. So it’s not far from psychological breakdowns. Even diet meatballs can be juicy. The easiest way to make tomato sauce is using fresh tomatoes or tomato paste.

On a note! In this case, it is better not to choose pasteurized tomato juices, since you can doubt not only their quality, but also the authenticity of information about nutritional value and component composition.

So, the dish will turn out to be low-calorie and healthy only if it is cooked in the oven. No oil or fat, put all this aside for now. We will have a healthy and incredibly tasty dish.

Some tips for preparing minced meatballs in the oven:

To enhance the taste, you can add additional ingredients to the minced meat: white bread soaked in milk, butter, grated cheese or lard. Raw vegetables - potatoes, pumpkin, zucchini - will also add juiciness to the meat filling.

The chopped meat with additives must not only be mixed, but thoroughly beaten until the meat mass is gathered into a smooth and elastic lump. This way, the chopped products will not fall apart during heat treatment.

Before cooking, the minced meat should be placed in the refrigerator for at least half an hour. The minced meat will infuse and the meat will combine well with the additives.

To cook meatballs in the oven, use a heat-resistant dish with a lid. It is quite possible to serve a ready-made dish on the table.

Meatballs are best served with a side dish - pasta, mashed potatoes or just boiled potatoes.

For some reason, an opinion has formed that a diet is a monotonous type of nutrition, where everything that is more caloric than a leaf of lettuce and a glass of water is rejected. It is this stereotype that stops many on the path to proper nutrition. – stress will force the body not to use up reserves, but take care of them, since the “rainy day” has come.

How do you like a dietary table where there is room for soups, nutritious meat dishes, and side dishes? If dishes have a balanced composition and are prepared in accordance with key requirements, they will not harm your figure.

Main rules

Almost any dietary menu has a place for poultry. It won't be possible to do without them. They are a source of essential amino acids necessary for health and full functioning.

Chicken, or rather its breast, is especially respected. Tender, light and tasty meat will brighten up any meal. But sooner or later you get tired of the usual boiled “without anyone” fillet. The soul and stomach require variety, delights and spectacle. One of the best solutions is dietary meatballs in sauce.

What’s good about this group of recipes:

1. chicken meatballs can be prepared for future use; they are perfectly stored in the freezer;
2. they will never get boring - it’s enough to change the sauces and side dishes to get a new treat every time;
3. they suit an ordinary family dinner just as well as a holiday meal;
4. meatballs are suitable for cooking both over an open fire and in the oven;
5. The dish is suitable for the whole family, including children.

However, not all meatball recipes are acceptable on a diet. In order for this hot dish to fall into the low-calorie category, a number of requirements must coincide.

• Fatty ingredients - to a minimum. If possible, you need to replace them with low-calorie analogues. For example, instead of butter, it is preferable to use vegetable oil, especially olive oil.
• Use exclusively the breast as the leanest part of the carcass. Be sure to remove the high-calorie skin.
• The less salt the better. It retains water in the body and inhibits weight loss.
  Avoid mayonnaise, unnatural seasonings with glutamate, other enhancers and synthetic dyes.

Important! Only meatballs made from poultry or farm poultry are useful for dietary nutrition. All the beneficial properties of meat, if it is bought in a store, are negated by the hormones, antibiotics, and additives that were given to the chicken at the poultry farm. This product is more dangerous than useful.

In principle, there are no restrictions on the inclusion of chicken meatballs in any diet menu. But they are most appropriate in context. Meat is a protein food necessary for high-quality saturation.
