Minutes of activity for a 70 kg adult to spend 198 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 6 pieces?
About 198 kcal for 6 pieces, taken as 120 g (marinated and grilled, no batter). Two come to roughly 396 kcal and three to 594 kcal. Per 100 g, fish tikka carries 165 kcal.
How much protein is in fish tikka?
22.0 g per 100 g, which works out to 26.4 g in 6 pieces. That is 53% of the energy in this food, and ranks 3rd of 20 in the chicken, mutton, fish & egg group on this site.
Is fish tikka 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. 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 marinated and grilled, no batter. A restaurant version can be 30 to 60% higher.
