How it fits into a day

Popara is stale bread cooked in milk or water, with cheese and lard or kajmak. A 250 g serving has about 500 kcal, but it's an estimate, because everyone makes popara differently: with milk and kajmak it's more, with water and a little cheese less.

A usual serving is about 25% of a 2,000 kcal day. How much do you need a day? Work it out in the calorie calculator.

Lighter options

  • If you make popara at home, measure the fat and cheese with a spoon, because that's where recipes differ most.
