What it takes to burn off 1 cup of black tea, no sugar
Minutes of activity for a 70 kg adult to spend 3 kcal, using MET values from the 2024 Adult Compendium of Physical Activities. This is a scale check, not a licence — appetite rises with activity and the two do not cancel neatly.
Calculated as MET × 3.5 × 70 kg ÷ 200 kcal per minute. Full working on the method page, and the whole activity dataset at BurnLab.
Where black tea, no sugar sits in an Indian plate
Among the 14 beverages entries on this site, black tea, no sugar ranks 13th for protein (0.1 g per 100 g) and 14th for energy density (2 kcal per 100 g). The protein leader in the group is badam milk at 3.8 g.
Protein supplies 20% of its energy, which is high for an Indian staple and the reason it keeps you full longer than the calorie count suggests. There is very little fibre here — 0.0 g per 100 g.

Questions
How many calories are in 1 cup?
About 3 kcal for 1 cup, taken as 150 g (no milk and no sugar — effectively zero calories). Two come to roughly 6 kcal and three to 9 kcal. Per 100 g, black tea, no sugar carries 2 kcal.
How much protein is in black tea, no sugar?
0.1 g per 100 g, which works out to 0.2 g in 1 cup. That is 20% of the energy in this food, and ranks 13th of 14 in the beverages group on this site.
Is black tea, no sugar good for weight loss?
At 2 kcal per 100 g it is on the lighter side, so portion size is forgiving. The protein share is high enough to be genuinely filling. No single food makes or breaks a diet; the total for the day does.
Why does this differ from other calorie sites?
Two reasons. First, most sites publish a per-100 g figure from a US database and leave you to guess what a roti or a katori weighs; this page states the serving weight up front. Second, home-cooked Indian food varies enormously with oil and ghee — the figures here assume no milk and no sugar — effectively zero calories. A restaurant version can be 30 to 60% higher.
