How many calories are in herring under a fur coat
100 g of herring under a fur coat contain about 193 kcal: 7.9 g of protein, 15.4 g of fat and 6.2 g of carbs. A 150 g serving is 290 kcal. Shuba is slightly lighter than Olivier per 100 g but just as fatty: mayonnaise coats every layer, and in the classic recipe it accounts for more than half of the calories.
What's good about Shuba
The salad has real strengths: herring is a source of omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin D and B12, while beetroot and carrot bring fiber, potassium and beta-carotene. A serving covers almost a quarter of the daily vitamin D, which many people lack in winter. The weak points are the salt in the herring and the mayonnaise.
How to make Shuba lighter
The most noticeable trick is replacing 67% mayonnaise with 30% light mayo or a mix of sour cream and Greek yogurt with mustard: minus 65–90 kcal per serving. Spread thin layers of dressing, only on the beetroot and potato. Some cooks use a tart apple instead of potato, which makes the salad fresher and a little lighter.
Shuba at a festive table
A festive table usually means several mayonnaise salads in a row, and three 150 g servings already add up to about 900 kcal. Pick one favorite salad, put a serving on your plate and add fresh vegetables and a hot dish. That way the celebration doesn't turn into double your daily intake.
How to count your portion
Everyone uses a different amount of mayonnaise, so recipes differ by up to 100 kcal per 100 g. If you make it yourself, weigh the mayo. If the salad is already on the plate, take a photo in MyFoodMate AI and the app will estimate the serving and the dressing.
