Serving assumed: 1 tumbler ≈ 120 g — decoction with milk and 1 teaspoon of sugar. Change the portion and every number below changes with it.

From a table row to one tumbler

  1. Read the per-100 g row for south indian filter coffee out of the Indian Food Composition Tables 2017 — analysed on Indian samples, so Indian wheat and Indian milk are not swapped for American ones. It gives 55 kcal and 1.6 g protein per 100 g.
  2. Weigh what is actually served. This site enters 1 tumbler at 120 g (decoction with milk and 1 teaspoon of sugar). That weight is the number other calorie sites decline to state, and it is where their answers stop being answers.
  3. Multiply, linearly, and print the working: 55 × 120 ÷ 100 = 66 kcal per tumbler. Nothing is rounded up, adjusted or smoothed — two tumblers are exactly twice one.
  4. Reconcile the energy against its own macronutrients with Atwater factors on every build. A row more than 15% away from 4P + 4C + 9F (20% above 6 g of fibre) stops the build rather than shipping.
per tumbler   =  per 100 g  ×  serving grams ÷ 100
South Indian Filte =     55 kcal ×  120 g ÷ 100  =  66 kcal
energy check       =  4P + 4C + 9F  ±15%  (±20% if fibre ≥ 6 g)

Questions

How many calories are in 2 tumblers?

About 132 kcal, taking one tumbler as 120 g (decoction with milk and 1 teaspoon of sugar). That is 3.8 g protein, 16.8 g carbohydrate and 5.3 g fat across 240 g of food.

Is 2 tumblers too much?

It depends entirely on the rest of the day. 132 kcal is roughly 7% of a 2,000 kcal day and 8% of a 1,600 kcal day. The honest answer is that 2 tumblers rarely makes a meal on its own — what goes with it usually decides the total.

How long does it take to burn off 2 tumblers?

Roughly 31 minutes of easy walking, 25 minutes of brisk walking or 11 minutes of running for a 70 kg adult. Useful for scale — not a licence, since appetite rises with activity.

Nutrient values are averages for the stated preparation, based on the Indian Food Composition Tables 2017 (ICMR–NIN) and standard recipe analysis. Energy is reconciled against the macronutrients with Atwater factors on every build. General information only — not medical or nutrition advice. Home-cooked Indian food varies enormously with oil, ghee and portion size; every value here is an average for a stated serving, with the assumption shown.
