How it fits into a day

A whole eggplant of about 250 g has only about 65 kcal. The catch is how it's cooked: fried, it soaks up oil like a sponge, so moussaka and breaded eggplant have far more. Most of the energy, about 65%, comes from carbs.

A usual serving (1 eggplant) is about 3% of a 2,000 kcal day. How much do you need a day? Work it out in the calorie calculator.

Lighter options

  • Roast it in the oven or on the grill, and only then dress it with oil.
  • If you do fry it, salt it and let it drain first.
