Warm salad with couscous and vegetables
To always stay slim, you need to eat right. Many people say that you can not eat carbohydrates to have a good figure. Here it is necessary to specify - carbohydrates need to be used, but only correct. Couscous is just cereal, which consists of the right carbohydrates. 100 grams of couscous contains more than 72 grams of these carbohydrates, and only 0.64 grams of fat. The caloric content of this oriental cereal is quite high - 376 kcal, which allows you to get rid of the feeling of hunger for a long time when eating couscous. The most useful way to cook this cereal is to steam it, which preserves all the valuable minerals and vitamins in couscous. It can be served hot or cold.
