How it fits into a day

A 100 g serving of fresh spinach has only about 25 kcal. It shrinks when cooked, so it looks like less on the plate; in pies and sauces the calories come from the pastry, cheese and cream. The calories come mainly from protein (about 55%) and carbs (about 25%).

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

Lighter options

  • Sauté spinach with garlic and a little oil.
  • Zeljanica is a spinach pie and has far more calories because of the pastry and cheese.
