How many calories are in lagman
100 g of beef lagman contain about 135 kcal: 7.2 g of protein, 5.2 g of fat and 15 g of carbs. A 400 g restaurant-style serving gives 540 kcal, about 27% of a 2,000 kcal day. The noodles bring the most calories, nearly half of the dish's energy.
Lagman, lagman soup and guiru
In Central Asia several dishes are called lagman. Uyghur lagman is noodles with a thick sauce, as in our table. Lagman soup, popular in Uzbekistan, is thinner: more broth and fewer noodles, so it is about 240 kcal lighter. Guiru lagman is stir-fried in a wok together with the noodles and is the richest of the three.
Why lagman is a good meal
Lagman is rich in vegetables: bell peppers, tomatoes, carrots, radish and garlic provide vitamins A and C and fiber. Beef brings protein, iron and zinc. The weak points are refined noodles and oil, which is often used generously. At home, cut the oil to a spoon per serving and add more vegetables.
Lagman on a diet
A 540 kcal serving of lagman is a full lunch that doesn't need a snack afterwards. In a calorie deficit, choose a small serving or lagman soup and skip the bread. Ask the café for more vegetables and meat and fewer noodles - the calories go down while the fullness stays.
How to count your portion
The ratio of noodles, meat and sauce in lagman depends heavily on the cook, so 135 kcal per 100 g is a guide. Take a photo of your plate in MyFoodMate AI: the app estimates the noodles, meat and vegetables separately and calculates the macros.
