Excessive consumption of dumplings can lead to weight gain.
People watching their figure should not eat this dish more than once or twice a week.
This was warned by candidate of medical sciences, nutritionist Daria Rusakova.
Therefore, you shouldn’t overindulge in dumplings, the expert explained in a conversation with Vechernyaya Moskva .
How often can you eat dumplings
As Rusakova explained, pelmeni are a fairly high-calorie dish.
An average serving of boiled dumplings (150-180 g) contains 400-550 calories.
There are even more of them in fried products, the specialist warned.
She noted that the benefits and harms of dumplings largely depend on the quality of the filling.
Those who watch their figure are not recommended to eat dumplings more than once or twice a week, advised Rusakova.
According to nutritionist Elena Solomatina, pelmeni are no worse than fast food, but they should only be consumed in exceptional cases.
This is not the kind of food you should eat every day, the expert said.
