How many calories are in pho?

Anywhere from about 300 to 700 kcal. The broth is lighter than it looks; the noodles and the cuts of beef decide a bowl. Here are four real bowls, each typed into Kallo the way people describe them.

What moves the number

In the large bowl from the pho shop, the noodles and the beef are 85% of the calories. The broth is only 39 kcal, so drinking all of it changes little.

Where these numbers come from
