How many calories are in beef stroganoff
100 g of beef stroganoff contain about 202 kcal: 16.5 g of protein, 13.8 g of fat and 3.5 g of carbs. A 200 g serving without a side is 404 kcal and 33 g of protein, more than half of many people's daily protein. With mashed potatoes the meal reaches 600 kcal.
Sour cream or cream
Classic stroganoff is made with sour cream, while restaurants often use cream. 10% sour cream instead of 20% saves about 35 kcal per serving with little change in taste. 20% cream is slightly richer than sour cream of the same fat. A spoon of flour thickens the sauce and adds almost no calories.
The side dish matters
Stroganoff on its own is a protein dish, and the carbs come from the side. Buckwheat is the most balanced option: plus 165 kcal, fiber and magnesium. Mashed potatoes with milk and butter add over 200 kcal, pasta about 170. A light alternative is braised vegetables or a salad.
Beef stroganoff on a diet
You can keep beef stroganoff in a calorie deficit: it provides plenty of protein, iron, zinc and vitamin B12. Use lean beef tenderloin, 10–15% sour cream and serve with vegetables or a small portion of buckwheat. A 150 g portion of meat is usually enough to feel full.
How to count your portion
The ratio of meat to sauce and the side dish strongly affect the total, so 202 kcal per 100 g is a guide. Take a photo of your plate in MyFoodMate AI and the app will estimate the meat, sauce and side separately.
