Coleslaw Calories

Coleslaw is a classic side dish made from finely shredded raw cabbage, often with carrots. Its nutritional profile depends heavily on the dressing. Creamy, mayonnaise-based dressings are common and higher in calories and fat. Vinaigrette styles are typically lighter. A standard 100g serving of traditional, creamy coleslaw contains about 152 calories. This amount can vary widely depending on the recipe, so being aware of the ingredients is key for anyone using a calorie counter.

Nutritional Information

Beyond calories, coleslaw's nutrition is a mix. The cabbage provides dietary fiber, supporting digestion, along with a good amount of Vitamin K and Vitamin C. However, the dressing adds most of the fat, sugar, and sodium. A 100g serving has about 11 grams of fat and 12 grams of carbohydrates, some of which are added sugars for flavor. The sodium content can also be significant, making portion awareness important.

Calorie Management

For those managing their calories, coleslaw can still fit into a diet. Opting for a vinegar-based dressing drastically cuts fat and calories. When buying pre-made versions, it's wise to compare nutrition labels. Portion control is another effective strategy; enjoy it as a small side dish rather than a main course. Making it at home provides the most control, allowing for healthy swaps like Greek yogurt for mayonnaise or simply using less sugar.
