When calculating the calorie content of any dish, it is worth remembering that it is necessary to take into account how many calories in each of its ingredients. The same goes for any canned food. And the calorie content of sprats in oil also needs to be calculated in stages.
Are there sprats in the bank?
A sharp decline in the population of sprats makes producers of this canned food go for some tricks. So, you can find in the bank herring, sprat or even sprat. But today, sprats in oil is more a way of cooking this or that fish, and not its grade. Although it is worth noting that in Russia, sprat is caught quite actively and therefore this small fish is often found in canned food.
The length of one individual reaches about fifteen centimeters. And its weight does not exceed 11-12 g. But even with such modest parameters, sprats have in their composition a huge number of useful trace elements. Among them, you can list such as iron, magnesium, fluorine, zinc and various vitamins.
Calorie content
Oddly enough, this variety of fish refers to diet. The calorie content of sprat in oil has nothing to do with the calorie content of a single fish. If it is possible to purchase this baby fresh, then you can use it completely without fear. One hundred grams of the product accounts for only 135 kcal. But it is worth remembering that in any meal it is important to know the measure. Otherwise, even the most dietary product will only bring harm to your body.
But if you add vegetable oil to the fish, which in large quantities is part of canned food, then the saturation with fats will increase significantly. Thus, in sprats in oil, the calorific value per 100 grams will already be 370 kcal.
