Minutes of activity for a 70 kg adult to spend 225 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 1 serving (2 eggs)?
About 225 kcal for 1 serving (2 eggs), taken as 150 g (two eggs scrambled with onion, tomato and 1 teaspoon of oil). Two come to roughly 450 kcal and three to 675 kcal. Per 100 g, egg bhurji carries 150 kcal.
How much protein is in egg bhurji?
10.5 g per 100 g, which works out to 15.8 g in 1 serving (2 eggs). That is 28% of the energy in this food, and ranks 18th of 20 in the chicken, mutton, fish & egg group on this site.
Is egg bhurji good for weight loss?
At 150 kcal per 100 g it is mid-range — it fits a deficit if the portion is measured rather than eyeballed. 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 two eggs scrambled with onion, tomato and 1 teaspoon of oil. A restaurant version can be 30 to 60% higher.
