Plate for 100 grams. Dairy products and fats
IN recipes most often the exact amount of ingredients is indicated in grams. It is known that different substances occupy different volumes for the same weight, so you should not rely on the exact ratio of grams and milliliters.
It is quite possible to measure 100 grams of the most popular substances without accurate kitchen scales. To do this, you should use the generally accepted measuring standards, which take into account the ratio of weight and volume of a particular ingredient.
Quick article navigation
cereals
You can measure 100 grams of the most popular cereals using a glass (standard, which holds 250 ml of water) or a tablespoon (18 ml), respectively. When measuring volume, the fullness of the glass to the brim and the spoon without a slide are taken into account:
- Buckwheat - 210 grams in a glass and 25 grams in a tablespoon;
- Oatmeal - 90 gr. in a glass and 12 gr. in a tablespoon;
- Rice - 230 gr. in a glass and 25 in a tablespoon;
- Manka 200 gr. in a glass and 25 gr. in a tablespoon. Thanks to the fluency semolina you can measure a teaspoon (5 ml of water) with a spoon: 8 grams of cereal will fit in it;
- Pearl barley - 230 gr. in a glass and 25 gr. in a tablespoon;
- Millet - 220 gr. in a glass and 20 gr. in a tablespoon;
- barley or corn grits- 180 gr. in a glass and 20 gr. in a tablespoon.
Bulk products
The weight of bulk fine products can be measured using a 250 ml beaker. and a tablespoon. The weight in a glass and a tablespoon will be as follows:
- Wheat flour 160 gr. in a glass and 25 gr. in a tablespoon;
- Potato flour 200 gr. in a glass and 30 gr. in a tablespoon;
- Ground crackers 130 gr. in a glass and 20 gr. in a tablespoon;
- Sugar sand 200 gr. in a glass and 20 gr. in a tablespoon;
- Salt 290 gr. in a glass and 25 gr. in a tablespoon.
Dairy products and fats
Dairy products and fats can also be measured without a scale with a power of 250 ml. cup and tablespoon:
- Vegetable oil 245 gr. in a glass and 20 gr. in a tablespoon;
- Milk 250 gr. in a glass and 20 gr. in a tablespoon;
- Condensed milk 210 gr. in a glass 30 gr. in a tablespoon;
- Sour cream 250 gr. 25 gr.
Other Ingredients
I use a 250 ml glass. and a tablespoon can measure the following products:
- Tomato paste (puree) 220 gr. in a glass and 25 gr. in a tablespoon;
- Beans 220 grams in a glass;
- Shelled peas 230 grams in a glass;
- Lentils 210 grams in a glass;
- Crushed nuts 140 gr. in a glass and 10 gr. in a tablespoon;
- Starch 160 gr. in a glass and 12 gr. in a tablespoon;
- Honey 415 gr. in a glass and 30 gr. tablespoon;
- Vinegar 250 gr. in a glass 15 gr. in a tablespoon;
Foods that are added in small amounts are more often measured in tablespoons and teaspoons, respectively:
- Baking soda 28 gr. in a tablespoon and 12 gr. in a teaspoon;
- Cocoa powder 15g. in a tablespoon and 5 gr. in a teaspoon;
- Citric acid 25 gr. in a tablespoon and 8 gr. in a teaspoon;
- Ground coffee 20 gr. in a tablespoon and 7 gr. in a teaspoon;
- Gelatin 15 gr. in a tablespoon and 5 gr. in a teaspoon.
By combining various measuring containers, you can measure quite accurately right amount one product or another. It is worth remembering that at high humidity, dry products (salt, rice, flour, etc.) tend to absorb moisture, and in this case, their weight will differ from the examples given.
Health
Are you eating right, but still can't lose weight? Maybe it's not about what you eat, but about amount of food consumed.
Most people don't know what an acceptable serving size should look like. Studies have shown that we are bad at determining how much food we should have on our plate, and people often overestimate portion sizes and underestimate calorie content.
So how do you figure out how much to eat without endlessly counting calories or weighing everything on a scale?
Here is an easy way to determine adequate portion sizes of staple foods and how it looks in relation to the size of your hand.
Meat serving size
Meat: palm of hand
A serving of meat should be the size of the palm of your hand (not including fingers).
The steak in the photo weighs approximately 100 grams and is about the thickness of a deck of cards. A serving of this size protein can be taken with every meal, and we need to spread our protein intake throughout the day, as we are better at processing it in small portions. However, you should not consume more than 500 grams of red meat per week, and it is better to choose other sources of protein, such as fish and legumes.
Portion of fish
white fish: whole hand
White fish such as cod, haddock or pollock are low in fat and calories, so a serving can be as big as your spread brush (about 150 grams and 100 calories).
White fish contains Not a large number of omega 3, and is good source selenium, important for immune system, healthy hair and nails.
Oily fish: palm
Like meat, serving oily fish, such as salmon, mackerel or sardines should fit the size of your palm. An oily fish fillet weighs about 100 grams and contains about 200 calories. One serving per week will provide you with enough fatty acids omega 3.
Portion of salad
Spinach: two handfuls
That's how much raw spinach one person needs one (80 grams) of the 5 servings of vegetables recommended daily. The same serving size will work for other lettuce leaves as well.
Vegetables should be eaten with every meal, and not a few leaves, but practically the entire package.
Portion of fruit
Berries: two palms
One in five servings of fruit a day is a handful of berries that fits in the palm of your hand.
This amount of berries contains approximately 90 calories, but other fruits, such as grapes, contain more sugar and about 161 calories.
Portion of vegetables
Vegetables: clenched fists
One in five servings of vegetables (80 grams) a day should be at least the size of your fist. It is also important to strive for a variety of vegetables in the diet and eat vegetables. different colors. Vegetables should take up half of your plate.
Serving of pasta per day
Pasta: clenched fist
Such an amount pasta seems quite small, but the pasta will expand in size as it cooks. This serving contains 75 grams and 219 calories. A serving of uncooked rice should also be the size of a fist.
Carbohydrates, which are important for maintaining energy, and fiber should take up a quarter of your plate (proteins the other quarter and vegetables half).
Additional calories will add sauce.
Serving of nuts per day
Nuts: one palm
Nuts and seeds are a good snack, they are filling and contain heart-healthy unsaturated fats, although they are high in calories. good portion is what you can hold in the palm of your hand. Therefore, try to eat nuts and seeds separately, and not several at once.
Portion of potatoes
Potato: fist
A carbohydrate serving should be approximately 200 calories for women and 250 calories for men.
One 180 gram potato contains about 175 calories, but baked potato maybe twice as much, so you can split it between two.
If you are not trying to lose weight, you can eat a slightly larger portion.
Food portions per day
Any serving of fats, including butter, vegetable oil, peanut butter should be no more than a teaspoon or the size of the tip of your thumb from the knuckle to the tip of the nail. In total, there should be no more than 2-3 servings of fat per day.
Chocolate: index finger
A piece of chocolate the size of an index finger (20 grams) contains approximately 100 calories and is an adequate treat.
Cheese: two fingers
A serving of cheese weighing 30 grams should correspond to the length and depth of two fingers. It contains about 125 calories and provides you with a third of the recommended amount of calcium. A portion grated cheese may be the size of your fist.
Cake: two fingers
The cake slice should be two fingers long and wide (one end may be slightly wider if you cut with a wedge). This serving contains about 185 calories and is acceptable as a treat.
We talk a lot about calories and that in order to lose weight, you need to reasonably reduce the calorie content of the diet.
But what do those calories look like in physical terms?
Really, can you imagine a 100 calorie slice of bread or cheese? I think that for most it is quite difficult. At least in the beginning :o)
The skill of automatically counting calories without using weights appears after some practice. Today we will develop this skill.
Study the pictures I have prepared for you and try to remember what 100 calories looks like. different products on a small plate with a diameter of 22 cm.
At the same time, remember once again that all products differ not only in calorie content, but also in saturating ability.
So, fatty foods are very high in calories, but saturate poorly. And lean meat, poultry, fish are less high-calorie, but they saturate very well. Therefore, for the prevention of hunger during the period of weight loss, it is very beneficial to include them in every meal.
In addition, the more voluminous the food, the faster it saturates. to bulk and low calorie food we include almost all vegetables and fruits (with the exception of bananas and grapes, fried potatoes). Complementing lean protein food vegetables, we enrich our diet with fiber, vitamins and minerals, fill the volume of the stomach faster, which means we will feel full faster.

The first way to measure 100 grams of buckwheat porridge without weighing on a scale is to measure the product with a spoon. Spoons, tea or table, are convenient already because they are always at hand. It is hard to imagine a kitchen where we would not find this popular "household measuring device" known to any housewife. It seems to me that no one needs to be specially trained to use tablespoons and teaspoons. Although, it is worth clarifying that all ways to measure a product with a tablespoon or a teaspoon are always based on the fact that the portion is measured correctly only when we observe one thing. important rule measurements. Which? You need to pick up the product with a spoon carefully, without a slide. The very slide that is so easily obtained when measuring the product is not a trifle at all and cannot be neglected. It introduces a significant error in any calculations of the amount of the product, overestimating (increasing) its quantity, weight in grams, compared to what you expect when you measure yourself at home. It is especially important to observe this rule when measuring portions of loose, granular, granular, lumpy products and ready meals. In cases where we want to measure 100 grams (g, g) of liquid, the problem is removed by itself. Since liquids in teaspoons and tablespoons do not create a large slide. And the volume of the measured product will almost coincide with the capacity in milliliters declared by the manufacturer of the spoon. In order to measure a portion of sugar without weights, when compiling our table, the following volumes of a tablespoon and a teaspoon were chosen:
- Volume of a boiled teaspoon buckwheat is equal to 5 milliliters (ml), which is 5 centimeters cubic (cm3, cc).
- The volume of a tablespoon of boiled buckwheat is 15 milliliters (ml), which is 15 centimeters cubic (cm3, cc).
The idea of a method for self-measurement of the weight (mass) of boiled buckwheat equal to 100 grams using a tablespoon or a teaspoon is that there is a proportional relationship between the weight of buckwheat porridge boiled in water and its volume. Determined from the physical points of view bulk density of the product. The bulk density itself, by definition of this physical quantity, is the weight of some volume taken per unit. Typically, bulk density, in a context that may be relevant to cooking and measuring portions at home, is the weight of one milliliter (mL). Or, then, how many grams are in 1 milliliter (ml) of boiled buckwheat. Knowing how many grams weighs 1 ml, we can say exactly how much one teaspoon will weigh and how much 1 tablespoon of buckwheat porridge will weigh in grams. After all, their capacity (volume) is well known to us in advance and we can consider spoons (with some stretch, of course) as standard dishes. What makes it possible for us to use spoons to measure portions of boiled buckwheat by weight in grams, without weighing on a scale.
How to measure 100 grams (100 gr, 100 g) of boiled buckwheat is to measure with standard and faceted glasses.The second way to measure 100 grams of buckwheat porridge without weighing on a scale is to measure the product with a glass. In addition to spoons, in the kitchen we always have another fairly convenient "household measuring tool" - these are glasses, glasses, wine glasses, mugs and cups: drinking utensils. With mugs, cups (ceramic and glass), the conversation is separate, too many varieties of cups with different designs, sizes and, as a result, different capacities can be found in the store. I would not recommend counting glasses, wine glasses, cups as standard dishes. Except in those cases when you already know their capacity in advance. But the glasses are really standard glassware, quite suitable for measuring crumbly porridge cooked from buckwheat. With the clarification that there are two standards for glasses according to their capacity in milliliters. These two types of glass cups also differ in design. We can always visually determine at a glance what option we have in the kitchen: a glass thin-walled (thin) glass or a faceted glass glass. In those rare situations when you are not sure, in doubt, it is easy to clarify the type of glass. How to do it? Here, it will be more convenient and faster to use the Internet. "Scoring" in the search for Yandex or Google requests: a faceted glass photo or a regular glass photo. From the image in the photo you will see how the characteristic design of a faceted glass differs from appearance ordinary standard glass. As for their capacity, the number of milliliters (ml) of boiled buckwheat that fits in different glasses, then there exist (and are observed by manufacturers exactly) the following proportions:
- The volume of an ordinary glass cup is 250 milliliters (ml), which is 250 cubic centimeters (cm3, cc).
- The volume of a faceted glass beaker is 200 milliliters (ml), which is 200 cubic centimeters (cm3, cc).
- What does 1/2 cup of boiled buckwheat look like in the photo (one second, half, floor).
- What does 1/3 cup of boiled buckwheat look like in the photo (one third, one third).
- What does 1/4 cup of boiled buckwheat look like in the photo (one fourth, one quarter).
- What does 1/5 cup of boiled buckwheat look like in the photo (one fifth).
- What does 2/3 cup of boiled buckwheat look like in the photo (two thirds).
- What does 3/4 cup of boiled buckwheat look like in the photo (three quarters, three fourths).
- What does 2/5 cup of boiled buckwheat look like in the photo (two-fifths).
The idea of a method for self-measuring the weight (mass) of boiled ready-made buckwheat equal to 100 grams using a glass is that there is a proportional relationship between the weight of buckwheat porridge cooked in water without milk and its volume. As in the case of spoons, determined from a physical point of view, the specific gravity of the product. On my own specific gravity, by definition of this physical quantity, is the mass of some volume taken as a unit. Typically, bulk density, in a context that may be relevant to cooking and measuring portions at home, is the weight of one milliliter (mL). Or, then, how many grams are in 1 milliliter (ml) of boiled buckwheat. Knowing how many grams weighs 1 ml, we can say exactly how much one standard glass will weigh and how much 1 faceted glass of buckwheat porridge will weigh in grams. After all, their capacity (volume) is well known to us in advance and we can consider glasses as standard dishes. What makes it possible for us to use glasses for self-measuring a portion by weight in grams, without weighing on a scale.
How to measure: 100 grams (100 gr, 100 g) boiled buckwheat in ml (milliliters) and in liters (l).If we want to know how many liters is it - 100 grams of boiled buckwheat, then the table placed on this page of the site will help us. Naturally, there is no direct dependence or generally accepted "school" rules for converting grams into liters. Grams (g, g) are units of weight or mass, while liters (l) are units of volume. Automatically, without taking into account the features and properties of a particular product, it is impossible to convert grams to liters. However, if you approach the matter wisely, think, then nothing is impossible. From a physical point of view, we again turn to the density of boiled buckwheat porridge. So, the portion weight that we know is 100 grams. We measure volume in liters. Fine. The easiest way to tie everything together: grams, liters and density is bulk density. By definition, bulk density is the density or specific gravity of a unit volume. For example, one liter (l). The bulk density of boiled buckwheat is an available reference information and knowing how many grams weigh 1 liter, we can easily calculate how many liters are in 100 grams of buckwheat porridge. In principle, I have no doubt that you can make the calculation yourself, but it will be more convenient to look at the finished answer in the table.
- Volume liter jar equal to 1 liter (1 l) or 1000 milliliters (ml), which is 1000 cubic centimeters (cm3, cc).
- Volume half liter jar equal to 0.5 liters (0.5 l, half a liter) or 500 milliliters (ml), which is 500 cubic centimeters (cm3, cc).
- - liter cans of boiled buckwheat are best in large portions, when the amount we need is several liters (l) of boiled buckwheat, but not fractional small portions of buckwheat porridge.
- - milliliters (ml) is especially convenient to use when you need to measure small portions of porridge cooked from buckwheat and we have special measuring utensils or a dispenser equipped with a graduated scale in milliliters.
- - it is reasonable to use cubic centimeters (cm3) for measuring small portions of boiled buckwheat, also in the presence of measuring utensils or a dispenser equipped with a special scale graduated in cubic centimeters (cc, cubes).
If we want to know how much is cubic centimeters (cm3) - 100 grams of boiled buckwheat, then you can immediately look at the answer in our table. As I noticed, a lot of people know that you can convert grams to liters (l) and milliliters (ml). But if you need to convert grams to cubic centimeters (cm3, cubic cm), then here people often "hang" in a little bewilderment. Although, figuratively speaking, it is the same " Easter Egg", only a "side view". There is nothing problematic in cubic centimeters - these are also units of measure for the volume of the product. It's just that we are not used to operating with cubic centimeters in cooking and in the kitchen. A purely psychological moment. In order to confidently make an independent recalculation and find out how many cubic centimeters will be in 100 grams of boiled buckwheat groats.With a known density of the product (volumetric weight), it is enough to recall the proportions known to us from school:
- 1 cubic centimeter (1 cm3, 1 cubic cm) of boiled buckwheat is equal to 1 milliliter (ml).
- 1 liter (1 l) of boiled buckwheat is equal to 1000 cubic centimeters (cm3, cc).
- 1 cubic meter (1 m3, 1 cubic meter, 1 cubic meter) of boiled buckwheat is equal to 1000 cubic centimeters (cm3, cubic cm).

Buckwheat combines two paradoxical qualities. Incredibly rich and nutritional product- at the same time, it is truly low-calorie and is perfect even for very strict diets. The reason for everything - high content proteins and complex carbohydrates, which makes buckwheat dishes extremely useful for leading active image life and people involved in sports.
| |Calorie boiled and raw buckwheat
We suggest that you familiarize yourself with two comparative tables of the calorie content of buckwheat. The first table contains calorie data boiled buckwheat porridge without additives, and the second about nutritional value raw cereal.
In 100 grams boiled buckwheat contains*:
nutritional value 50 gr boiled buckwheat- 55 kcal. Proteins: 2.1g, Carbohydrates: 10.65g, Fats: 0.55g.
100 grams of raw buckwheat contains:
*Calorie content of boiled buckwheat and the ratio of BJU depends on the method of its preparation and the amount of water.
The table shows indicative figures. Nutritional value of 100 grams ready porridge, prepared with water and without adding oil, as a rule, does not exceed 110 kcal.
Thus, 100 grams of raw buckwheat (which is usually what is needed to prepare one or two servings of porridge) contains only 330 kilocalories, which is only 13.2% of daily requirement adult (2500 kcal).
All useful properties of buckwheat
Buckwheat and other buckwheat dishes are beneficial for our health and well-being due to a balanced composition and high nutritional value. At the same time, one should not think that the nutritional value of buckwheat porridge is a consequence of high calorie. Far from it - the secret of nutrition lies in the large amount of "slow" carbohydrates and high-grade, easily digestible proteins in its composition.
In no case should you be afraid of a relatively large number carbohydrates V raw grits. As we mentioned above, buckwheat does not contain at all, which lead to sharp fluctuations in the level of "sugar" in the blood. All carbohydrates contained in buckwheat are slow, which means that one serving of buckwheat porridge will create a long-term feeling of satiety, despite the low energy value. Thereby Buckwheat porridge is great for weight loss and can be included in healthy breakfast, which will help to avoid feeling hungry until lunch.
The most valuable nutritional components of buckwheat for people actively involved in sports, and, first of all, weightlifting, are proteins (proteins). Here they contain as much as 12.6 grams per serving. At the same time, the amino acid composition of proteins is one of the richest and most balanced among herbal products nutrition. Buckwheat proteins contain a large number of important amino acids - lysine and methionine. At the same time, buckwheat proteins are highly digestible, which makes this cereal indispensable in the diet of athletes to accelerate muscle recovery after training.
Very often, buckwheat is used as a temporary substitute for meat and other sources of animal proteins. For the same reason, this cereal enjoys stable popularity among vegetarians, for which its rich amino acid profile is especially important.
Concerning fat, then there are very few of them in buckwheat - only 3.3 grams per serving. At the same time, there are no harmful saturated fats at all. However, it is not in vain that the proverb says that "You can't spoil porridge with butter." For better assimilation and more good taste buckwheat porridge, it is better to add a small amount of vegetable oil to it ( linseed oil will be especially useful due to the high amount of OMEGA-3 and will perfectly complement the taste) or initially cook not in water but in milk. You can fry a portion of porridge with two eggs a little more, so it will become even more tasty and crumbly.
Mineral composition and vitamins
Now that we have found out how many calories are in dry and boiled buckwheat, let's move on to mineral composition and the vitamins it contains.
Buckwheat contains important water-soluble B vitamins, which, unlike fat-soluble vitamins, must be supplied to our body on a daily basis, because. do not accumulate in it. In terms of minerals, buckwheat is certainly one of the leaders in terms of iron content. However, we must remember that the iron that we get from plant foods is absorbed much worse than from animal products. If you are a vegetarian, you should consider taking additional vitamin and mineral supplements with iron.
In general, buckwheat cannot be called rich in minerals and vitamins. For this reason, we do not recommend “sitting” on the popular “buckwheat diet” for a long time, because. for all its beneficial properties and nutritional value, a lack of vitamins can lead to beriberi and many other unpleasant consequences. As they say, everything is good in moderation.
And only as part of a varied diet, buckwheat shows all its beneficial properties. Buckwheat porridge is excellent and balanced dietary product which can be safely recommended for regular use food for absolutely everyone - both children and those who want to lose weight and maintain body weight, women and bodybuilders (it is especially useful to eat buckwheat a few hours before strength training, because it gives a long feeling of fullness) and athletes and, of course, older people.
