What it takes to burn off 2 tablespoons of coconut chutney
Minutes of activity for a 70 kg adult to spend 50 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.

Questions
How many calories are in 2 tablespoons?
About 50 kcal for 2 tablespoons, taken as 30 g (fresh coconut ground with dal and a tempering). Two come to roughly 99 kcal and three to 149 kcal. Per 100 g, coconut chutney carries 165 kcal.
How much protein is in coconut chutney?
2.5 g per 100 g, which works out to 0.8 g in 2 tablespoons. That is 6% of the energy in this food, and ranks 18th of 23 in the south indian group on this site.
Is coconut chutney good for weight loss?
At 165 kcal per 100 g it is mid-range — it fits a deficit if the portion is measured rather than eyeballed. Protein is low, so eat it alongside a protein source rather than on its own. 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 fresh coconut ground with dal and a tempering. A restaurant version can be 30 to 60% higher.
