How Many Calories in Moussaka?

1 serving (300 g) has about 450 calories.

Why estimates miss: Moussaka is a multi-ingredient dish. It reads like a healthy eggplant bake, but the eggplant is fried in oil and the creamy béchamel topping pushes the fat far higher than most people estimate. Generic calorie apps undercount the hidden oil, sauce and portion — CalDesk AI's photo estimate is tuned to catch exactly this.
