Green salad, chicken cutlet, oil toast, bacon, parmesan, Caesar dressing. The US version salad has, under its apparent lightness, two major flaws:it contains few vegetables and starchy foods; it is too oily (parmesan + sauce). It does not satiate despite its high caloric intake.
1 bowl of gazpacho (250 ml) + 1 roast chicken leg + fresh tagliatelle (250 g) with a knob of butter + 1 natural yoghurt + 1 apple. For the silhouette and health, we opt for this complete meal, with more vegetables, a dairy product and a fruit. And for the same price, the skin of the chicken thigh is allowed!
Green salad, tomatoes, tuna in oil, boiled eggs, anchovies in oil, onion, black olives, green beans, olive oil. The problem with the Niçoise is that it accumulates fat:between oil, marinated fish and olives, the bill explodes, when there is not even any starch.
1 small plate of tabbouleh (150 g) + grilled tuna steak + 3 tomatoes and 1/2 courgette à la provençale + 1 slice of cherry clafoutis + 1 glass of rosé. We have a balanced meal by giving pride of place to slow carbohydrates, which are more satiating than lipids. The dessert provides a calcium intake. And we can even toast.
Green salad, tomatoes, mushrooms, raw ham, potatoes, pine nuts, croutons, raclette cheese, vinaigrette. It sticks to the body and hips! Rich in fats (charcuterie, cheese, pine nuts, sauce) AND carbohydrates (potatoes, croutons), it leaves little room for raw vegetables bursting with vitamins, minerals and fibre.
1 small plate of tzatziki (200 g) + 1 grilled rib steak (150 g) + sautéed potatoes (200 g) + green beans (200 g) + 30 g camembert + 1/4 baguette + strawberries (200 g ) with whipped cream (50 g). This balanced and varied feast remains high in calories, but it takes quite a bit of fork to gobble it all up!
