Calories in context

At 285 kcal per serving, this dish is about 14% of a 2000 kcal daily reference intake — the standard reference amount used on nutrition labels, not a personal target.

Eaten as a fast meal — lunch on the go, a light dinner, or a snack-sized plate, it is one part of a day whose real total depends on your own body, activity level and goals, not on any single recipe.
