It's hard to find a person who doesn't love the oriental dish called cabbage rolls. Appetizing cabbage envelopes stuffed with meat are surprisingly similar to their close “relatives” - dolma and sarma, wrapped in grape leaves. However, the high calorie content of pork and beef cabbage rolls stewed in tomato-sour cream sauce does not allow people who are watching their figure or losing weight to enjoy this popular dish.
How not to deny yourself the pleasure of tasting delicious cabbage rolls at least sometimes and not harm your waistline?
The benefits of cabbage rolls
All the ingredients from which cabbage rolls are prepared are beneficial for our body: vegetable fiber stimulates intestinal function and normalizes cholesterol levels; vitamin C, which cabbage is rich in, folic acid and potassium salts, are important components of the diet; amino acids, proteins and carbohydrates are building materials for cells, the source of which is meat, and when ground it is easily absorbed; rice is a mega-supplier of B vitamins, which are necessary for the normal functioning of the nervous system; they also help restore the healthy appearance of nails and hair.
What determines the nutritional value of cabbage rolls? Their types
It is no secret that the calorie content of cabbage rolls with minced pork and beef is noticeably higher than their “brothers” prepared with ground poultry, mushrooms or assorted vegetables inside. Therefore, nutritionists always recommend calculating not only the energy value of the products included in the recipe for your favorite dish, but also the calorie content of the sauce in which delicious cabbage “rolls” are stewed. It is necessary to take into account even the method of preparing the dish.
Stuffed cabbage rolls with minced chicken breast, stewed in a slow cooker or cooked in the oven, will be more dietary than high-calorie pork “rolls” from a frying pan. Mushroom “relatives” are not far behind them: the calorie content of cabbage rolls with porcini mushrooms without a rich sauce is approximately 55-80 kcal, and with cheese, sour cream and eggs – 160 kcal.
Calorie content of cabbage rolls with minced chicken, pork or beef
The fattest component of the dish is minced meat: as a rule, it accounts for up to 66% of calories.
Minced chicken, pork and beef are often used, which affects not only the taste, but also the BJU indicator and the energy value of the dish:
- chicken - contains less fat and more protein, the calorie content of 1 cabbage roll with chicken is 140 kcal;
- pork - has a high carbohydrate content, so there will be more calories in such cabbage rolls; on average, 100 g contains 300 kcal;
- beef - used for preparing lean dishes, as it allows you to reduce the calorie content of the dish to 170 kcal.
You can reduce the calorie content of cabbage rolls by not only choosing low-fat meat for the filling, but also by refusing butter, sour cream and sauces.
How many calories are in meat cabbage rolls?
In traditional recipes, the calorie content of cabbage rolls with minced meat and rice can be 110-120 kcal, or can reach 295-313 or more kilocalories. For 1 kg of pork and beef, usually take 1.5-2 cups of raw rice and one head of cabbage weighing approximately 1.5-2 kg. The sauce, which contains the following ingredients, also adds nutritional value to the cabbage rolls: 500 g of sour cream, 75-100 g of tomato paste and spices. The only component without calories is water - 500 ml. The calorie content of the sauce significantly increases the overall energy value of the dish, but it is difficult to accurately calculate how much of it will penetrate into each cabbage roll.
Therefore, they take the total calorie content of cabbage rolls with meat and rice, sum it up with the energy value of the sauce ingredients and divide the result by the number of finished envelopes. Classic cabbage rolls without sauce can contain 100-110 kcal per 100 g of semi-finished product, and with sauce - 220-300 kcal. If you add more beef to cabbage rolls and reduce the pork content, the proportion of protein in them will increase, and the energy value will decrease. The calorie content of meat cabbage rolls will also noticeably decrease if you prepare them from chicken breast. Experienced housewives can boil the envelopes, drain the primary broth and add boiling water to the dish being prepared. This significantly reduces the energy value of cabbage rolls and makes them more dietary.

Composition and benefits of cabbage rolls, cabbage rolls and weight loss
Cabbage rolls are a dish with a rich history. But for those who are losing weight, it is interesting not only for its historical value, but for its nutrient composition, the number of calories and the specificity of absorption by the body. Any type of cabbage rolls can be called an ideal dish for weight loss, and there are many reasons for this.
History and variations of cabbage rolls
From a historical point of view, cabbage rolls are a very diverse dish that has many variations in preparation. This is also due to the fact that it has a lot of historical roots. It is generally accepted that stuffed cabbage leaves are a distinctive feature of Eastern European cuisine. Unusual recipes for cabbage rolls are found in Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Greece, Armenia, Kazakhstan, and Turkey. You're sure to find similar food options in East Asia. But the most popular among the Russian-speaking population were recipes for cabbage rolls from Ukraine and Russia.
In classic preparation, cabbage rolls are presented to a person as a cabbage leaf in which minced meat and rice are cooked. The meat chosen was mainly beef or pork. In Ukraine, a recipe using cracklings was widely used; cabbage leaves were taken, not fresh, but pickled. There were also potato cabbage rolls often here, or stuffed with finely chopped vegetables. This suggests that cabbage rolls are a universal demi-season dish. In modern diets, instead of beef and pork, you can use chicken, turkey or even fish in the recipe!
And, of course, you cannot ignore the two main options for preparing this nutritious dish:
- classic cabbage rolls, when the filling is wrapped in a cabbage leaf;
- lazy, when all the ingredients are mixed in one patch and stewed together.
Composition and benefits of cabbage rolls
Stuffed cabbage rolls have a rich nutrient composition, which may vary slightly depending on the products included in the filling. Considering the classic version with minced meat and rice, one can note the high nutritional value of the dish. This allows you to quickly satisfy your hunger without overloading your stomach. Properly cooked meat and cabbage are sources of protein, which is important for the body to provide it with new building materials and substances for the production of hormones.
Only cabbage is a rich source of vitamin C! If you cook cabbage rolls with red or purple cabbage, then together with ascorbic acid you will get folic acid - an integral component of brain functioning and women's health. Carrots and tomatoes used for stewing contain carotene, vitamin A and lycopene - known protectors of the body from aging. Recipes that use mushrooms and other vegetables as filling instead of meat are rich in components such as potassium, magnesium, and sodium.
Regular inclusion of cabbage rolls in the family menu will help maintain immunity, the proper functioning of the gastrointestinal tract, and combat seasonal manifestations of colds and vitamin deficiency. If you and your family want to switch to a healthy diet, then cabbage rolls can still remain in your diet!
Stuffed cabbage rolls as a dietary dish
Classic cabbage rolls with rice and meat, plain or wrapped, contain about 160 calories per 100 g. Vegetable filling with mushrooms, without meat, but with rice, reduces the calorie content by almost 60 units! Both options are suitable for dietary nutrition, and it’s not just the relatively low energy value of this dish.
1. High protein content. Per 100 g in the classic version there are about 14 grams of protein. This fact helps you obtain from your diet the component necessary to maintain muscle tissue during weight loss and when playing sports, that is, by losing weight, you will maintain the health of your muscles and a beautiful silhouette.
2. Lots of fiber! Cabbage is an excellent source of coarse fiber. In this regard, cabbage rolls, like a brush, clean out your intestines after digestion, taking away with them the remnants of unprocessed protein and fat, as well as a lot of breakdown products of these elements, which supports the proper functioning of the gastrointestinal tract. From this point of view, cabbage rolls are ideal for weight loss, because your intestines will work under the influence of natural stimulation.
3. Low carbohydrate content combined with high levels of protein and fiber allows you to eat cabbage rolls at any time of the day, despite the presence of rice in the composition.
4. Replace beef and pork in cabbage rolls with chicken or turkey, and you will get a dish that helps lower blood sugar and cholesterol levels, and also improves the production of “correct” cholesterol, which is important for optimal heart function.
5. Cost-effective - the dish requires minimal investment, which is also important! Against the backdrop of purchasing teas for weight loss and special nutritional mixtures, which are very expensive, cabbage rolls are getting ahead.
6. Lazy cabbage rolls have more cabbage than classic ones. This fact can be used to stimulate processes in the body to remove excess moisture, but without losing potassium and sodium, which are important for the development of bones and joints, since these components are also present in the dish.
7. It's delicious! Diet dishes do not always boast high nutritional value and taste - you can choose a recipe that suits your taste. From a psychological point of view, this is an important factor for comfortable weight loss.
8. Stuffed cabbage rolls can be consumed shortly before training, both as an element that replenishes energy reserves and as a source of protein for moderate muscle development.
Classic cabbage rolls recipe
Preparing this dish is a wide field for the culinary imagination. However, in Russia everything relies on one classic recipe. You can use it as the basis for your culinary creations!
To prepare you will need the following ingredients:
- half a kilo of minced pork - it’s better if you mince it yourself rather than take a ready-made store-bought one;
- 4 onions - two each for minced meat and stewing sauce;
- one and a half glasses of rice;
- glass of water;
- salt, pepper, herbs to taste;
- a head of cabbage with good top leaves;
- half a kilo of sour cream, 4 tablespoons of tomato, one carrot, vegetable oil, water - for preparing the sauce.
Cooking should begin with rice. It must be boiled in salted water, drained, rinsed and allowed to cool. After this, minced meat, spices and onions are added to it - everything is thoroughly mixed to form a homogeneous mass for stuffing.
The next step is to prepare the cabbage leaves. To do this, cut the stalk from the center of the head of cabbage, remove the top poor-quality leaves, and lower the cabbage into boiling water. For a young vegetable, a few seconds are enough for the leaves to become soft. Winter varieties and “old” cabbage need to be lightly boiled, gradually separating the segments in which the minced meat will subsequently be wrapped. Carefully separate the softened leaves from the head of cabbage and place in a separate container.
Place the prepared minced meat on each sheet and wrap it with a cabbage envelope, first folding the thick edge inward. Place the finished cabbage rolls in a container and fill with a glass of water. Place the pan on the fire and start making the sauce. For this, sauté carrots and onions in oil, add tomato paste and a little water, and simmer everything together for a few minutes. Add to the cabbage rolls 20 minutes before they are ready.
A similar recipe can be made with other fillings. For example, use buckwheat and mushrooms, vegetables or rice with fish instead of rice. For dessert, you can even make sweet cabbage rolls with rice and dried fruits!
Serve hot cabbage rolls with sour cream and herbs. Bon appetit and delicious weight loss!
