How it fits into a day

Pljeskavica, the Balkan burger patty off the grill, has about 200 g of meat and about 480 kcal before it goes into the lepinja flatbread. In the lepinja it's about 890 kcal. A gourmet pljeskavica, stuffed with cheese and bacon, has more than the plain one, so for it this value is the lower limit.

A usual serving (1 patty) is about 24% of a 2,000 kcal day. How much do you need a day? Work it out in the calorie calculator.

Lighter options

  • If pljeskavica is your main meal of the day, keep the others lighter: in lepinja with kajmak it's already about 990 kcal.
  • Ajvar is a lighter topping than kajmak: a tablespoon of ajvar has about 35 kcal, a tablespoon of kajmak about 105 kcal.
  • Half a lepinja instead of a whole one saves about 200 kcal.
