How many calories are in one poğaça?
One poğaça is 75-100 grams and, on the scale used by TÜBER, carries about 300-375 calories.
TÜBER, Türkiye's national dietary guideline, counts one poğaça, the Turkish soft savory bun, as 75-100 grams and gives its energy as 4-5 times the standard amount of 75 calories; that comes to about 300-375 calories. The reason for the range is the difference in size and the share of fat in the dough. This record makes no distinction between cheese-filled and plain.
