Nutritionist named the acceptable amount of pancakes on Shrovetide

Nutritionist nutritionist Sofia Kovanova told how many pancakes are acceptable to eat on Maslenitsa without harm to health.

In a conversation with the site aif.ru on Monday, February 24, the expert noted that a day you can eat one or two pancakes without stuffing. If there is stuffing, it is better to limit yourself to one pancake.

She explained that pancakes are made of flour, milk, eggs and butter. The combination of flour and butter provokes appetite and does not give satiety. There are about 100 kcal in one pancake.
