Calories in Spaghetti Bolognese
A standard restaurant plate of spaghetti bolognese (about 400 g) has roughly 600 calories, or around 150 calories per 100 g. The dish is a balanced mix of pasta carbs and meat-sauce protein, so it is moderate per gram — portion size is what makes or breaks it. Fattier mince, extra olive oil and a heavy dusting of parmesan add 100-200 calories to a plate.

Still Wondering About SlimAI
Yes — it is one of the more balanced pasta dishes, with protein from the mince and a tomato-based rather than cream-based sauce. A 250 g bowl at about 380 calories can fit a calorie-deficit routine comfortably.
Use lean 5% mince, measure the olive oil, bulk the sauce with vegetables like carrot, celery and mushrooms, and serve a smaller mound of pasta with more sauce. Wholewheat spaghetti adds fiber and keeps you fuller for the same calories.
Tomato-and-meat sauces are considerably lighter per gram than cream-based ones — a carbonara or alfredo of the same portion can run 40-60% higher in calories because of the cream, butter and extra cheese.
Take a photo with SlimAI's camera scan and the portion is estimated for you, or search "spaghetti bolognese" and set the serving in bowls or grams. Voice logging works as well — describe your plate and it is logged in seconds.
