How to customize this menu
Do not confuse dry and prepared bulgur
The indicated 150 g is the weight after cooking. Dry cereal has a different calorie content per 100 g: water increases the weight of the dish, but does not add energy.
Specify the type of fish
The calculation uses prepared salmon. Different fish, salted fillet or product in sauce will have a different composition; Also consider the oil when baking.
Daily shopping list

Frequently asked questions
How to prepare breakfast in the evening?
Mix the cereal with yogurt and store in the refrigerator in a closed container. Add strawberries before eating. For cereals that require cooking, follow the manufacturer's instructions.
Is it necessary to buy fresh strawberries?
No, frozen without sugar will do. Thaw the portion in the refrigerator; syrup or sugar in the composition will change the calculation.
How are calories and macros calculated?
For each ingredient, the reference value per 100 g is multiplied by the serving weight and divided by 100. The totals of meals are added up for the day. Calories are rounded to whole, macros - to tenths of a gram; The sum of the rounded values of individual ingredients may differ slightly from the total of the dish.
Below is the editorial guide used in this example. These are approximate values for typical products, without reference to brand or laboratory analysis. Calorie content is taken as a separate indicator and, due to fiber and rounding, may differ from the conversion using the formula 4/9/4. Use the label for your products.
