Eggplant calories and nutrition facts
100 grams of eggplant contains 25 calories, with 1 g of protein, 5.9 g of carbohydrate and 0.2 g of fat. It provides 3 g of fiber and 3.5 g of sugar per 100 g. Most of its calories come from carbohydrate.
Aubergine is only about 21 calories a cup on its own, and then it behaves like a sponge — it will drink as much oil as you give it, which is how a light vegetable becomes a heavy dish. Roasting or griddling with a controlled amount of oil keeps that in check. Salting is optional with modern varieties; they are far less bitter than they used to be.
