Satisfying portions with fewer calories and delicious taste: that\u2019s Mindful. Our chefs and dietitians worked together to create Mindful choices that meet the nutritional information listed below. Use our Mindful criteria to help plan meals, desserts and snacks at home.<\/p>\n
\n
ENERGY VALUE<\/h3>\n
Kilojoules (kJ) or kilocalories (kcal) are units that express how much energy a food provides.
\n\u2022 1 g of proteins = 17 kJ = 4 kcal
\n\u2022 1 g of carbohydrates = 17 kJ = 4 kcal
\n\u2022 1 g of fat = 38 kJ = 9 kcal
\n\u2022 1 g of alcohol = 29 kJ = 7 kcal<\/p>\n
TOTAL FAT<\/h3>\n
Fats provide us with the necessary energy. There are healthy (rapeseed oil, olive oil, etc.) and less healthy fats (fatty meats such as p\u00e2t\u00e9, fatty cheese, \u2026).<\/p>\n
SFA:
\nSATURATED FATTY ACIDS<\/h3>\n
Saturated fatty acids are mainly present in animal products such as fatty cheeses, fatty meat products (e.g. p\u00e2t\u00e9), fatty meat and whole milk products. In Addition, they are also present in cookies, pastries and snacks. Saturated fatty acids increase the risk of heart and vascular diseases. You are therefore best off replacing them with unsaturated fatty acids contained by liquid baking and roasting products, oils, fish and nuts.<\/p>\n
TRANS FATTY ACIDS<\/h3>\n
These fatty acids are even worse for your health than saturated fatty acids. They are formed during chemical digestion processes. Cookies, pastries and snacks are therefore best avoided.<\/p>\n
CARBOHYDRATES<\/h3>\n
Carbohydrates power our engine. They exist in various different forms: sugars, starches and fibres. Added sugars belong to the non-essential group of carbohydrates. So you are best off avoiding them.<\/p>\n
SALT<\/h3>\n
Although our body needs salt for many functions (muscle contractions, correct moisture content of the body, …), our daily diet contains excessively high amounts. So be sure to try your food before adding extra salt.<\/p>\n
FIBRES<\/h3>\n
Fibres have a positive effect on our digestion. Important sources of fibre include vegetables, fruits, potatoes, whole wheat bread and vegetables.<\/p>\n
CALCIUM<\/h3>\n
Calcium gives us strong bones and strong teeth. You can find them in dairy products, cheese, vegetables, nuts and pulses. Those who do not like milk or are allowed to eat little or no milk products (eg due to an allergy or lactose intolerance) can use calcium-enriched soy products. In addition, they can also pay extra attention to the use of calcium-rich vegetables, nuts, seeds and pulses.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
