Read the full disclaimer
Every number on this page (calorie targets, macro splits and any suggested meal plan) is produced by formulas (Mifflin-St Jeor for basal metabolic rate, standard activity multipliers) or, for AI-generated meal plans, by a language model applying those same formulas. On meal-plan pages the carbohydrate figure for each meal is calculated by difference: total calories minus protein and fat calories, divided by 4. It is not measured or estimated on its own, so read it as an arithmetic balance and not as an independent nutritional analysis of the dish. None of it is individualized medical or nutritional advice, and none of it has been reviewed by a registered dietitian, physician or other licensed healthcare professional.
Ask your doctor or a registered dietitian what is right for you before starting a new diet, especially if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, have a diagnosed medical condition, take prescription medication, or have a history of disordered eating. If you have kidney disease or another medical condition, ask your clinician before raising protein.
Mealyno never recommends a calorie target below your calculated Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR), the minimum energy your body needs at complete rest. Even the most aggressive weight-loss setting is clamped at that floor.
Calorie and BMR estimates use the Mifflin-St Jeor equation (Mifflin MD, St Jeor ST, et al. Am J Clin Nutr. 1990).

Home-style cutlets are a staple of Ukrainian lunches, served with mash, buckwheat or pasta. Calories vary widely with the type of mince.
About this dish: Home-style cutlets
Home-style cutlets are a classic main course: pan-fried patties of mince, onion, egg and a bread roll or bread soaked in milk. They turn up on both the everyday menu and the festive table, usually with mashed potato, buckwheat or pasta. The mince is often a pork and beef mix, which comes out juicier than lean meat alone.
Calories depend on two things: how fatty the meat is and the oil used for frying. By our table 100 g of cutlets is about 228 kcal, and a portion of two small cutlets (120 g) is roughly 274 kcal with almost 17 g of protein. Pork with fat in the mince and a generous pour of oil push the figure up, while chicken or turkey cutlets, steamed or baked, come out at 120-150 kcal per 100 g.
To lighten them, replace some of the mince with grated courgette or cabbage, and fry in a non-stick pan or bake. To add protein, use chicken or turkey fillet mince and less bread. You can sear them briefly and finish under a lid with a little water, which keeps them juicy without extra oil. Oat flakes or a spoon of oat bran can stand in for the bread in the mixture.
Where the numbers come from
This dish has no single entry in the reference databases, so the values are calculated for a typical home recipe: ingredient shares multiplied by their composition in USDA and Ukrainian tables, including the fat that goes into the pan.
Pan-fried patties from mixed pork-beef mince with onion, bread soaked in milk and egg. Calories are derived from protein, fat and carbohydrate at 4, 9 and 4 kcal per gram, so the numbers on the page never contradict each other.
Your kitchen will differ: real calories for a dish like this are usually within ±15%, which for this portion means 235 to 315 kcal. See the Method page for sources and calculations. These are general guides, not medical advice.
