Eggplant — fiber-rich nightshade, absorbs flavors well.

Soaks up oil — calorie content depends on prep. Roasted plain stays low.

Best for

  • volume eating — 25 kcal / 100g keeps plates big
  • fiber and micronutrient gaps on high-protein diets

Watch out

  • drowning produce in creamy dressings you did not log
  • dried fruit or juice versions if you meant fresh

How to log it

Log the form you eat (raw, cooked, juiced). 1 cup cubed (~82g) is the practical unit in the app.

Where it fits the day

Almost always fits as the volume layer. If fat/sauce is the real meal, log that honestly.

Cooked, grilled, fried & breaded

Raw or steamed eggplant stays close to the page numbers. Oil and creamy dressings are where calories hide — typical kcal per 100g:

Method

Sautéed in oil
~45–88
Oil, not the vegetable, drives the jump
Creamy / dressed

Log the dressing if it is the real meal

These are typical ranges, not lab measurements. Restaurant recipes, oils, and sauces vary — treat them as logging estimates and edit if your plate looks heavier.
