How many calories are in a cheburek
100 g of fried meat cheburek contain about 280 kcal: 9 g of protein, 16 g of fat and 26 g of carbs. An average cheburek weighs 150 g and gives 420 kcal, about 21% of a 2,000 kcal day. Large street chebureki weigh 200–250 g, each with over 600 kcal.
Why chebureki are so rich
The thin dough absorbs oil when deep-fried, while the fatty juices from the filling stay inside. As a result fat accounts for more than half of the calories. Old frying oil is absorbed more and produces oxidation products, so homemade chebureki in fresh oil are better than street ones.
How to make chebureki lighter
Oven-baked chebureki are about 90 kcal lighter each: the crust is less bubbly but still crispy. Beef or chicken instead of pork makes the filling leaner. After frying, place chebureki on a paper towel to absorb some of the oil.
Chebureki on a diet
A cheburek is mostly fat and flour, with almost no vegetables or fiber and modest protein. In a calorie deficit, have one as a full lunch and add a salad or vegetables. With a sugary drink at a food court, the meal easily goes over 600 kcal.
How to count your cheburek
Chebureki vary a lot in size and oil, so 280 kcal per 100 g is a guide. Take a photo of your cheburek in MyFoodMate AI and the app will estimate its weight and filling.
