Inside a Pukka Pie without the Pastry....?

Love the Pukka All Steak Pie (218g) but does anyone know the number of Fat g, Carb g, and Protein g, and kcal for the insides without the pastry?

    Definitely can't help with that and I'd be surprised if anyone can unless you contact Pukka directly. I like their chicken and mushroom pie - but I eat the pastry too.

    If you're ever bored, you could try creating a recipe with the ingredients you think make up the entire pie. Once you've got something that matches the info for that, remove the ingredients for the pastry part and see what you're left with. But it would be very hard to gauge the amount of raw ingredients to be used so almost certainly won't be 100% accurate.

    Never heard of it, but I don’t like pie crust, so I often look up calories for pie crust, calories for the pie, estimate the difference. Certainly not an exact science.

    A basic pastry, I don’t know Pukka Pies, is half fat to flour with a dash of water or vinegar and salt.

    Weigh your pastry that you are not eating.
    1/3 of that number of grams will be fat so multiply by 9.
    2/3 of that number of grams will be basic white flour so multiply by 4.

    This will give you the calories.

    Once the fat (any generic fat/oil will do unless it is specified in the ingredients) and flour are entered, using an accurate MFP entry, your macros will be available.

    (I think you can still enter this as a minus food, not sure as I haven’t logged in years. If you eat these pies regularly save as a meal so you have the pastry available and don’t have to keep doing the maths)

    You can then minus that info from the total pie calories and macros to get the portion (filling) you ate.

    Simpler to do than to write btw.

    Cheers, h.

    I would maybe look at a variety of entries for beef stew, steak stew etc and try to work it out from there.
