How it fits into a day

In the Balkans cevapi are eaten by the piece: 5 or 10 in a lepinja flatbread, with onion, kajmak or ajvar. The meat of 10 cevapi (about 300 g) alone is about 810 kcal, and the lepinja plus a spoonful of kajmak take that serving to about 1,320 kcal. The number depends most on the beef and lamb mix and the fat in it.

A usual serving (10 cevapi) is about 41% of a 2,000 kcal day. How much do you need a day? Work it out in the calorie calculator.

Lighter options

  • Have 5 cevapi instead of 10 and add a salad: that's about 410 kcal of meat instead of 810.
  • The lepinja alone carries about 410 kcal, so half a lepinja with 10 cevapi saves about 200 kcal.
  • My tip: add kajmak by the spoon, not by eye, because one spoonful is about 105 kcal.
