Ful and Falafel Sandwich Calories: Save 300 Calories easily

January 23, 20260:56Clinical nutrition

This video presents a detailed nutritional calculation of a classic Egyptian breakfast featuring ful mudammas and falafel sandwiches. A standard ful sandwich containing 80 to 100 grams of fava beans and a 60-gram baladi bread loaf provides around 14 to 15 grams of protein, but adding a tablespoon of oil adds 120 calories and a spoon of tahini adds 90 calories, pushing the total to roughly 520 calories. Meanwhile, a falafel sandwich delivers about 365 calories and 13 to 14 grams of protein before extra fats, with each additional spoonful of frying oil contributing 120 calories. Moderating added oils and sauces readily eliminates about 300 calories.

About this video in detail

This video calculates ful sandwich calories and falafel sandwich nutrition by looking at bread, filling, oil, and tahini. The ful sandwich uses about 80 to 100 grams of fava beans and 60 grams of baladi bread, reaching roughly 520 calories and 14 to 15 grams of protein with the listed additions. The falafel sandwich is about 365 calories before extra additions.

The main lesson is that Egyptian breakfast calories come from more than the beans or falafel. Bread size, oil, and tahini can change the total substantially; the video counts about 120 calories for each tablespoon of oil and describes a possible saving of about 300 calories by reducing added fats.
