How much calories does a bowl of the Daily Cut have?
Everytime there’s a long queue upon one particular restaurant, my curiosity is piqued. I wonder if this is the trait that I develop after residing in Singapore for many years or human is just a curious creature. But without a fail, a long and snaking Q is always formed at the Daily Cut around lunch time and even late after 8PM. Despite many other F&B sell similar concept of healthy bowl, the Daily Cut seems to be the champion that trump them all, at least it terms of queue line.
Since they look so healthy and popular, I bought them on a few occasion and I think these healthy bowls turn out to be delicious. And that’s probably the reason of the long Q. So since I’m no longer curious on how does the healthy bowl from the Daily Cut taste, my curiosity is now focused on how much calories contained in one healthy bowl of the Daily Cut?
But then again, the concept of healthy bowl in the Daily Cut is pick and mix, so I suppose the calorie content will really depend on the choice made by each customer. Right, so let’s see what did I pick from the latest summer menu from the Daily Cut: A petite bowl consisting of purple sweet potatoes (base), orange chicken breast (protein), broccoli and tahini peanut eggplant (supplements), parmesan breadcrumbs (toppings) and peri peri dressings (which is provided in separate container, thankfully).
With the help of kitchen scale which I bought from Daiso at 2SGD + myfitnesspal app, I tried to find the closest equivalent to items which I pick for my bowl above. Here goes the calorie:
- 120 grams of purple sweet potatoes: 103 cal
- 80 grams (2.8 oz) of grilled eggplant: 77 cal
- 100 grams of grilled chicken breast: 131 cal
- 180 grams of fresh steamed broccoli: 51 cal
I did not bother to check the calorie from the parmesan breadcrumbs and peri peri sauce though because I find it a bit of a hassle and I figure the calorie from these two items won’t be substantial since the Daily Cut does not give a lot of crumbs and sauce. But if you’d like to include them in measurement, maybe it’s gonna be another 50 cal, tops?
With that taken into consideration, total calorie from my order will come at 412 cal.
To be honest with you, I’m kinda surprised with this calculation because I expect my order to reach 500 cal. I wonder if we can treat the petite bowl of the Daily Cut to be around 500 cal max. Maybe I should measure it again when I order brown rice or whole wheat pasta as base.
