The meatballs are not the heavy part. 4 meatballs on their own have 156 kcal, so 8 are about 312, and the mash, peas, sauce and jam add the other 245. Going from 12 to 8 meatballs with mash saves 154 kcal, and mash instead of chips with 12 saves 70.
8 plant balls with mash have 366 kcal, 191 less than the meatball plate, and 8 chicken meatballs have 490. For protein, the Chicken Schnitzel gives 35 g for 539 kcal and the Small Cooked Breakfast 23.9 g for 393 kcal.
The classic visit is the meatball plate, a cinnamon bun and a latte: 557 + 278 + 78 = 913 kcal. A soft ice cream instead of a slice of Daim cake saves 259 kcal, and the veggie hot dog (183 kcal) is 99 less than the regular one.
These are UK figures from the IKEA UK food pages, which list each dish per portion. IKEA restaurants in other countries use their own recipes and plate sizes, and even the Belfast store has its own versions, so numbers can differ abroad. Extra cream sauce is listed separately.
