How many calories are in a portion of eggplant?
One cup of chopped eggplant is 150 grams and carries about 35 calories over raw weight; its capacity to absorb oil hides that figure.
One cup of chopped eggplant is a 150-gram standard portion in the vegetable portion table of TÜBER, Türkiye's national dietary guideline, and carries about 35 calories over raw weight according to TürKomp's long eggplant record. The real question with eggplant is not its own calories but the oil it absorbs while cooking.
