Food Calories by Country

Indonesian Food Calories

Indonesian food runs on rice, coconut, palm sugar and a deep fryer, which makes it some of the easiest food in Asia to overeat without noticing. A plate of nasi padang with rendang and the free gravy can pass 900 calories. A bowl of soto ayam is under 350. Both are lunch. This page ranks every warung, warteg and kaki lima dish we have numbers for, lightest to heaviest inside each category.

Calorie figures come from the Indonesian Food Composition Table (TKPI) and published dietitian data where it exists, sized to a normal warung portion rather than a 100g lab sample. Every page shows where the calories hide and how to order the same dish lighter.
