What changes the number
- Oil and butter. Zaatar is mixed with oil, which is why the zaatar pie has nearly twice the fat of the cheese pie here [1]. Spinach pies are often rolled in oil too.
- The filling. The chicken pie has the most protein, 20.8 g per 100 g [1]. Extra cheese, labneh or sauce adds calories.
- Frying. The cheese sambousa is fried and has the most calories here, 391 per 100 g [1].
