Calories in 2 pieces

The short answer

2 pieces, weighed

110kcal 2 pieces — 90 g in total — comes to about 110 calories, with 1.8 g protein, 18.6 g carbohydrate and 3.2 g fat.

Serving assumed: 1 piece ≈ 45 g — chhena ball boiled in light syrup — the lightest common mithai. Change the portion and every number below changes with it.

From a table row to one piece

Read the per-100 g row for rasgulla 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 122 kcal and 2.0 g protein per 100 g.
Weigh what is actually served. This site enters 1 piece at 45 g (chhena ball boiled in light syrup — the lightest common mithai). That weight is the number other calorie sites decline to state, and it is where their answers stop being answers.
Multiply, linearly, and print the working: 122 × 45 ÷ 100 = 55 kcal per piece. Nothing is rounded up, adjusted or smoothed — two pieces are exactly twice one.
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 piece   =  per 100 g  ×  serving grams ÷ 100
Rasgulla           =    122 kcal ×   45 g ÷ 100  =  55 kcal

What it takes to burn off 2 pieces

Minutes of activity for a 70 kg adult to spend 110 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.

Questions

How many calories are in 2 pieces?

About 110 kcal, taking one piece as 45 g (chhena ball boiled in light syrup — the lightest common mithai). That is 1.8 g protein, 18.6 g carbohydrate and 3.2 g fat across 90 g of food.

Is 2 pieces too much?

It depends entirely on the rest of the day. 110 kcal is roughly 5% of a 2,000 kcal day and 7% of a 1,600 kcal day. The honest answer is that 2 pieces rarely makes a meal on its own — what goes with it usually decides the total.

How long does it take to burn off 2 pieces?

Roughly 26 minutes of easy walking, 21 minutes of brisk walking or 9 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.
