How Many Calories in Mici (Romanian Grilled Meat Rolls)?
5 bucăți (aprox. 350g) = 928 kcal
Nutritional Values per 100g
Standard Serving
5 bucăți (aprox. 350g) contains 928 calories.
Best time: Main meal, occasionally (barbecue, social event) rather than daily
Benefits
- ✓Rich in complete protein (17g/100g) from the beef/pork/lamb mix
- ✓Grilling (without added oil) is less calorie-dense than frying
- ✓Good source of iron, zinc, and B vitamins, important for energy and muscle function
- ✓No significant carbs - easy to fit into a low-carb diet if served without bread
Considerations
- !Average values for traditional grilled mici - fat content varies depending on the meat mix used
- !High in saturated fat (21g/100g) - a serving of 5 pieces can exceed 900 calories from the mici alone
- !Usually served with bread, mustard, and onion, which adds extra calories to the meal
FitAzi Tip
FitAzi suggests limiting the portion to 3-4 mici instead of 5-6 and skipping the bread, choosing a fresh vegetable salad on the side instead. If making mici at home, use a mix with less pork fat and more lean beef to cut calories without losing the signature taste.
Frequently Asked Questions
5 grilled mici (mititei), about 350g, have about 928 calories. It's a substantial portion, equivalent to a main meal rich in protein and fat. With bread and mustard on the side, the full meal can reach 1,100-1,200 calories.
A single mic (about 70g, grilled) has about 185 calories. For a more calorie-moderate meal, 3 mici (about 555 calories) without bread, alongside a vegetable salad, is a more balanced choice than the standard 5-6 piece serving.
