Chemical composition of cookies
What components are included in the mixture for making cookies, and what substances does it consist of, which is tasty, but not the healthiest product? It is impossible to fit all existing cookie recipes into one article, because there are simply too many to count. Almost every country has its own traditional varieties of cookies, the recipe of which is customized by the owner or manufacturer. And while additional ingredients may vary depending on the recipe, the main components remain the same - flour, eggs, oil (vegetable or butter), sugar and salt. Depending on the recipe and type of cookies, honey, sour cream, dried fruits, nuts, cottage cheese, cocoa, and chocolate may be added. These products themselves are high in calories; it is not surprising that, when “combined” together, they turn into not the most dietary product.
The calorie content of cookies is also affected by the type of flour used to prepare the delicacy. The most high-calorie cookies are made from wheat flour, and instead of it or in combination with it, rye, corn, oatmeal, or wholemeal flour can be used. To reduce calories, sugar is sometimes replaced with honey or fructose.
Cookies have a high calorie content per 100 grams, but at the same time contain many useful substances. It is rich in B vitamins, vitamins A and E, contains calcium, sodium, phosphorus, magnesium, potassium, iron. Oatmeal cookies also contain a lot of fiber, so some of its varieties can be eaten even on a diet, of course, in moderation.
An approximate BJU of cookies looks like this:
- Proteins - 7.5 g
- Fat - 11.8 g
- Carbohydrates - 74 g
The BJU of the product, as well as the calorie content, changes in accordance with the cooking recipe.
Nutritional and energy value of cookies
There are several main types of cookie dough:
- Sugar - sweet and fragile
- Shortbread - hard, crumbly, fatty, contains a lot of butter
- Butter - sweet, it contains a lot of butter and eggs
- Puff
- Lingering has an elastic and dense texture, not very sweet and greasy
- Whipped
- Oatmeal - oatmeal is added to wheat flour, the cookies are hard and moderately sweet
The more sugar, butter and other fats in the dough, the higher the calorie content of the cookies. Products made only from wheat flour, without the addition of other types, have the maximum calorie content.
The calorie content of cookies can vary greatly depending on the type of dough and additional components in the composition. Some types of cookies may have only 200 kcal per 100 grams, while others have 500 units. Therefore, if you want to know the calorie content of 1 cookie or 100 grams, study the energy value of the specific type of cookie you are going to eat. Do not rely on the approximate figure of 400 kcal per 100 grams.
Calorie content of oatmeal cookies
It is not for nothing that we used the title in the plural; there are several types of which, for this reason, they can also be completely different.
The calorie content of oatmeal cookies is high - 440 kcal per 100 grams. On average, 1 piece weighs 27 grams, respectively, the approximate calorie content of 1 oatmeal cookie is 140 units. At the same time, the product is useful for digestion, because it contains a lot of fiber. Coarse dietary fiber cleanses the intestinal walls, stimulates its functioning, fills the stomach, giving a feeling of fullness. Therefore, confectionery products prepared with the addition of oatmeal are sometimes consumed even on a diet. But for weight loss, it is better to enjoy dietary varieties of oatmeal cookies. To prepare it, wheat flour is diluted with rye, oat, or wholemeal flour. You can buy oatmeal in a store, or you can get it yourself by simply grinding oatmeal in a coffee grinder. Sometimes wheat flour is not used at all, so oatmeal cookies will be even less nutritious. The recipe does not include the use of butter or even sugar. Sweetness is obtained by adding honey.
To make your own oatmeal cookies, you will need:
- Glass of oatmeal
- 2 tbsp. honey
- 2 egg whites
- A little salt
Such cookies will have a calorie content of 345 units. per 100 grams. It will be harsh and not very sweet, but it will be as healthy as possible. If you add butter or vegetable oil, wheat flour, kefir, chocolate or dried fruits to the recipe, the product will be more tasty, but not as dietary.
Energy value of biscuits
Sometimes such a confectionery product is also allowed to be consumed on a diet. The dietary cooking option also involves diluting wheat flour with oatmeal or rye. It is considered relatively low in calories because it contains little sugar and fat. But if you add poppy seeds, vanilla, milk, more sugar, butter or margarine, the product will no longer be dietary.
Galette cookies have completely different calorie content, from 300 to 570 units per 100 g.
Crackers are originally biscuits baked in the oven. Previously, they were made only from flour and water, but now the recipe may contain salt, sugar, butter, seasonings, nuts, cheese, etc. These are crispy cookies that keep well and are convenient for snacking. The calorie content of cracker cookies is about 352 units per 100 grams, so some types of products can be eaten on a diet.
Calorie content of shortbread cookies
One cookie that is definitely not dietary is shortbread. It has a very delicate, fragile structure, a very sweet taste, literally melts in your mouth. The price for this pleasure is high calorie content, because the confectionery product contains wheat flour, egg yolks, a lot of butter or margarine, to which sour cream or cottage cheese can also be added. Remember the appearance and taste of the famous kurabiye cookies, which are a prominent example of a confectionery product made from shortcrust pastry. Shortbread cookies can be prepared with filling - jam or preserves, nuts and even fruit are used for this.
Therefore, shortbread cookies are very high in calories - approximately 470 units per 100 grams. This confectionery delicacy is clearly not suitable for a diet.

Calorie content of puff pastry

Sugar cookies
Another type of high-calorie cookies is sugar cookies. As the name implies, a lot of sugar is used for cooking - 125 grams (+30 grams of vanilla sugar) per 100 grams of flour. There is as much oil as sugar, which also affects the energy value of the product. It is not surprising that sugar cookies have a caloric content of 400 units per 100 grams, the cookies are incredibly tasty and melt in the mouth, but there is definitely no place for the product on the dietary table.

Some types of crackers and other biscuits can be consumed in small quantities while following a diet. For example, crackers can be used as a substitute for bread, but you can only eat a few a day.
Oatmeal cookies made without oil or with minimal oil content can also be included in the diet. Lenten cookies, the calorie content of which is approximately 314 units. per 100 grams, you can also sometimes eat it while following a diet. Just choose recipes where vegetable oil is either absent or a little is added.
Ginger cookies, which have a calorie content of just over 400 units, can be allowed occasionally on a diet. Ground ginger, especially in combination with cinnamon, will add new flavor notes to the product, so you can prepare a tasty, aromatic and low-calorie product. If you add seasonings to biscuits, you get a good dietary option.
Which cookies are better to forget about when following a diet? Butter, shortbread, “Yubileinoe”, “Domashneye”, with seeds and sesame, with condensed milk, sugar, the calorie content is too high to be allowed on the dietary table. The calorie content of 1 cookie will be too high to indulge yourself without a twinge of conscience with these products while following a diet.
In this article, we will quickly go over the main types of this beloved delicacy and see what the calorie content of 1 cookie is, depending on its type.
Now on store shelves you can see a wide variety of delicious types of cookies, some of which contain a lot of calories, and some of which are dietary. How to check the calorie content of cookies? The answer is very simple. It is necessary to study its main components. After all, we all know such high-calorie foods as cream, starch, sugar, butter. Perhaps that is why it is considered the most dietary, which can range from 150 kcal/100 g to 568 kcal/100 g. Such a huge variation in indicators is due to the content of various additives in different types of this delicacy. The most dietary is oatmeal cookies (its energy value is 150 kcal/100 g).
Of course, it is necessary to take into account that, no matter how low-calorie cookies are, if you consume them in large quantities and at the same time lead a sedentary lifestyle, you will definitely gain weight. Therefore, you should always monitor the amount of food and the calories it contains.
Let’s also consider the calorie content of which ranges from 324 kcal/100 g to 395 kcal/100 g. If you also spread it with butter, which many people like to do, and even eat it with sweet tea, then it will, of course, be very tasty, but It is unlikely to contribute to weight loss.
Almost any cookie can cause some harm to the body. Of course, even the lowest-calorie cookies contain sugar, which (if consumed in excess) causes harm not only to the figure, but also to the teeth. And if you can get your figure back, your teeth, unfortunately, cannot. However, such problems can only begin if you eat cookies in very large quantities.
In addition to the above-mentioned products, there is also puff pastry, beloved by everyone since childhood. It has an average calorie content of about 395 kcal, but, in addition, it is also a rather heavy product for the stomach.
Sugar cookies are one of the highest - it ranges from 500 kcal/100 grams. These products contain large quantities of sugar, butter, eggs, and, of course, baking powder. However, the record holder for the content of leavening agents is puff pastry.
In the modern world, when many manufacturers do not particularly care about the quality of their products, instead of high-quality dough and ingredients, we sometimes get a set of various preservatives, leavening agents, and additives to enhance color and taste.
The most delicious and, perhaps, the most beloved by many is a homemade delicacy made with your own hands. Of course, homemade - this can hardly be low, but it is very tasty, satisfying and healthy. As a rule, for such baked goods we try to select only the best and highest quality ingredients.
Different types of cookies have their own level of calorie content, which completely depends on the ingredients from which they are made, so when following a diet, you need to pay attention to which cookies are best to consume and in what quantities.
I apologize in advance for such a stupid question - I didn’t understand all the intricacies of calculating points on a hormonal diet. points are calculated as in the Kremlin diet - i.e. by 1 point per 100g of product? Or are these points for the entire portion? And here's another thing: breakfast 4 points - is it just one product or multi-component? Thank you all in advance)))
Recently I became interested in Mirimanova’s “Minus 60” diet; in general, everything is not bad, and there are goodies in the morning and almost separate meals for lunch and dinner. Not a starvation diet in general, not 3 cabbage leaves a day. But one thing still confuses me is not to eat after 18. How is this possible, for example, I have dinner at 17, because I have a workout at 18, and then drink empty tea or water?
Maybe I should still eat something light at 8 p.m.
I stayed on a drinking diet for a week, the result was minus 2.5 kg. I expected more, but I'm glad about it too. I don’t want to stop, but drinking as a long-term option is also not an option))). I considered a 90-day separate nutrition system, in which the days alternate by type of food - protein, carbohydrate, starch, vitamin. I want to combine these two diets: alternate days of separate nutrition with drinking. I think this regime is more diverse and humane from a health point of view, and the results will be quick

How to eat properly on vacation so that you don’t feel excruciatingly scary and upset later? What excesses should you avoid in restaurants and on the beaches?
The “6 petals” diet is ideal for me, I can easily tolerate it, I’ve already practiced it 2 times. Everything is great, except for cottage cheese day - I hate cottage cheese. I’m planning another course from Monday, I ask in advance - what can I replace cottage cheese with? And is it even possible to change? And does the replacement somehow affect the result? Thank you all in advance for the tips))
Girls, we need your support, advice and experience. It’s already the 11th day of the Dukan diet and there is no result!!! I strictly follow all the rules, but there is no plumb line even 100g!!!

Which is correct?
