Nutritional Values per 100g
Standard Serving
1 porție (150g) contains 215 calories.
Best time: A side dish at the main meal, especially at barbecues or festive meals
Benefits
- ✓A base of boiled potatoes, which provide complex carbs and potassium
- ✓Can include boiled eggs, adding quality protein to the meal
- ✓Versatile - can also be made with yogurt or light mayonnaise for fewer calories
- ✓Filling as a side dish or secondary course, especially alongside a protein source
Considerations
- !The classic mayonnaise-based version is calorie-dense (8g fat/100g) - most of the calories come from the dressing, not the potatoes
- !Values vary a lot by recipe - the amount of mayonnaise, eggs, and add-ins (cucumber, onion) significantly change the calories; the figures here are averages for a typical recipe
- !High sodium from mayonnaise and added salt - relevant for people watching their blood pressure
FitAzi Tip
For a lighter potato salad, FitAzi recommends partially replacing the mayonnaise with Greek yogurt or light mayonnaise - you significantly cut the fat without losing the creaminess. Add boiled eggs and fresh vegetables (cucumber, green onion) for more fullness and nutrients in the same serving.
Frequently Asked Questions
O salată de cartofi clasică, cu maioneză, are aproximativ 143 kcal/100g, cu 2g proteine, 14g carbohidrați și 8g grăsimi. O porție obișnuită de 150g are în jur de 215 kcal. Valorile sunt medii, pentru că rețetele variază mult în funcție de cantitatea de maioneză și adaosuri.
Da, semnificativ mai puține. Înlocuirea maionezei cu iaurt grecesc poate reduce caloriile cu 30-40%, de la aproximativ 143 kcal/100g la 90-100 kcal/100g, păstrând în același timp o textură cremoasă și adăugând un plus de proteine.
