Nutrition facts per 100g (tortilla espanola)
Spanish omelette nutrition: potato, egg, olive oil, and portions
Spanish omelette, or tortilla espanola, has about 237 calories per 100g in this reference serving. Calories vary widely because recipes differ in potato amount, egg ratio, and how much olive oil is absorbed during cooking.
A small slice can fit a balanced meal, but restaurant portions or oil-heavy homemade versions can climb quickly. Use the CalMind photo calorie tracker to scan the slice and log the portion with less guesswork.
CalMind estimates calories, macros, and portion size from your meal photo, then helps you keep sauces, toppings, and sides separate.
Why oil changes the calories
Potato and egg are easy to estimate, but oil absorption is the major variable. Pan-frying potatoes in a lot of oil can raise calories even when the slice looks small.
How to make it lighter
Use less oil, drain potatoes well, add onion or vegetables, and pair the omelette with salad instead of bread. Track sauces and sides separately.
