About Cabbage rolls
Cabbage rolls (golubtsy in Russian, holubtsi in Ukrainian) are softened cabbage leaves wrapped around minced beef, pork or both, mixed with rice and often onion. They are braised or baked, usually in a tomato-based sauce, until the cabbage is tender. Ready-made versions range from saucy North American rolls to Finnish oven-baked ones with no tomato.
Also known as golubtsy or holubtsi.
Typical pieces and portions
Weights come from the sources below. Calories and macros are scaled from the per-100 g values on this page. Select a weight to load it into the calculator.
| Amount | Weight | Calories | Protein | Fat | Carbs |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| [4] | 85 g | 94 kcal | 5.1 g | 5.1 g | 7.7 g |
| [1] | 103 g | 113 kcal | 6.2 g | 6.2 g | 9.3 g |
| [1] | 162 g | 178 kcal | 9.7 g | 9.7 g | 14.6 g |
| [3] | 225 g | 248 kcal | 13.5 g | 13.5 g | 20.3 g |
What changes the numbers
- Sour cream on top. Each tablespoon (15 g) of regular sour cream adds about 29 kcal. The per-100 g figure for the rolls does not include it.[5]
- Share of sauce and cabbage. Saucier, cabbage-heavy rolls come out lower per 100 g: a foodservice beef-and-rice roll in thick tomato sauce, listing cabbage, water and tomato paste ahead of beef, has 85 kcal per 100 g. The USDA reference roll has 114 kcal per 100 g, close to the 110 this page uses.[2]
- Fat content of the mince. Fattier pork or regular beef mince (ground meat) raises fat and calories; lean mince lowers them.
- Browning in fat first. Rolls fried in oil or butter before braising absorb some of that fat, so they end up higher in calories than rolls that are only braised.
How to log it
Weigh your portion cooked, including the sauce on your plate, or count rolls and pick the closest size. Log sour cream separately by the tablespoon. For a homemade batch, divide the recipe total by its cooked weight.

How to calculate calories in Cabbage rolls
Multiply the calories per 100 g by your portion weight, then divide by 100. For the reference 250 g portion, the calculation is:
110 × 250 ÷ 100 ≈ 275 kcal
Reference portion: serving (250 g). This is an example amount, not a recommended portion. Weigh your food when possible: a cup, slice or piece can vary in size.
Check that the entry matches the food you have, including its preparation. If raw or cooked is not specified, check your label or a matching nutrition reference before logging it.
