Add flavor without calories to your meals

One of the intentions of eating every day, besides providing energy to the body, is also to maintain your body figure without gaining weight and to stay in shape, but many times we believe that to give that delicious flavor to our dishes it is necessary to resort to those sources of calories like fats, butters, etc. On the contrary, it is very important to know which ingredients can give a pleasant flavor to our food without adding extra calories and thus avoid excess weight. Flavor does not come from fat; it comes from seasoning. To add flavor to meals, you can use spices, vinegars, mustards, and other ingredients that help you maintain your figure without sacrificing your palate. - Vinegars. There are several types of vinegar, and all help to add flavor without calories. Vinegars can be used to marinate meats and vegetables before cooking, to make dressings, and in small amounts, they are used to balance the flavor of dishes. Try new vinegars in your recipes such as: rice vinegar used in Eastern cuisine, red wine vinegar, pineapple peel vinegar, etc. The vinegar that contains the most calories is balsamic vinegar, but it is a small amount so it can be consumed without issues and has a lot of flavor. - Spices. Spices have many health benefits. The most common in Latin cooking are pepper and cumin, but there are many others such as cilantro seeds, mustard seeds, and Eastern blends like Chinese, Arabic, and Indian spices. - Herbs. French cuisine uses them a lot. Herbs also help provide nutrients and health benefits in addition to adding flavor. From mint to sage and rosemary, they are used in dressings and recipes. - Mustards. There are several types of mustards, ranging from acidic to bitter. They can be used to marinate mixed with yogurt or alone, spread on chicken or meat before cooking, used in dressings along with lemon or vinegar and oil, or used on sandwiches instead of mayonnaise. Try different types of mustards to vary your recipes. - Chilies. Chilies are low in calories but add a lot of flavor. Chilies not only spice up dishes; each chili has a different flavor, and if you do not want too much heat, remove the seeds. - Wines. Wines can be used to marinate meats. They tenderize them and give a subtle flavor, and in this way, you do not need to add a lot of oil or butter for them to taste delicious.
