How many calories are in kotlety
100 g of pan-fried homemade pork and beef patties contain about 243 kcal: 14.6 g of protein, 16.8 g of fat and 8.6 g of carbs. One 80 g patty is about 195 kcal, two are 389 kcal. With mashed potatoes the meal easily exceeds 650 kcal; with buckwheat or vegetables it is much lighter.
The mince matters most
Store-bought pork and beef mince ranges from 15 to 30% fat, a difference of 80–100 kcal per 100 g of cooked patties. Beef patties are about 60 kcal lighter per serving, chicken ones almost 100 kcal. Bread soaked in milk makes patties juicier and barely changes the calories, but extra fat in the mince changes them a lot.
Fried, baked or steamed
When frying, patties absorb some of the oil, so pan-fried ones have more calories. Oven baking saves about 40 kcal per two patties and steaming over 50 kcal, while the rendered fat stays in the tray. If you love a crust, sear the patties for a minute on each side and finish them in the oven.
Kotlety for weight loss
Kotlety are a good source of protein, iron and vitamin B12, and you can keep them in a calorie deficit. They go best with vegetables or buckwheat rather than buttery mash or pasta. For an even lighter version, mix the mince with grated zucchini or cabbage: the patties become juicier and lower in calories.
How to count your kotlety
Patty sizes range from 60 to 120 g, so it is easier to count by weight than by piece. If you don't want to weigh anything, take a photo of the plate with the side dish in MyFoodMate AI: the app estimates the patties, the side and the sauce.
