Calories in 3 glasses

The short answer

3 glasses, weighed

668kcal 3 glasses — 750 g in total — comes to about 668 calories, with 15.8 g protein, 108.0 g carbohydrate and 18.8 g fat.

Serving assumed: 1 glass ≈ 250 g — curd, mango pulp and sugar. Change the portion and every number below changes with it.

From a table row to one glass

  1. Read the per-100 g row for mango lassi 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 89 kcal and 2.1 g protein per 100 g.
  2. Weigh what is actually served. This site enters 1 glass at 250 g (curd, mango pulp and 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: 89 × 250 ÷ 100 = 223 kcal per glass. Nothing is rounded up, adjusted or smoothed — two glasses 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 glass   =  per 100 g  ×  serving grams ÷ 100
Mango Lassi        =     89 kcal ×  250 g ÷ 100  =  223 kcal
energy check       =  4P + 4C + 9F  ±15%  (±20% if fibre ≥ 6 g)

What it takes to burn off 3 glasses

Minutes of activity for a 70 kg adult to spend 668 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 3 glasses?

About 668 kcal, taking one glass as 250 g (curd, mango pulp and sugar). That is 15.8 g protein, 108.0 g carbohydrate and 18.8 g fat across 750 g of food.

Is 3 glasses too much?

It depends entirely on the rest of the day. 668 kcal is roughly 33% of a 2,000 kcal day and 42% of a 1,600 kcal day. The honest answer is that 3 glasses rarely makes a meal on its own — what goes with it usually decides the total.

How long does it take to burn off 3 glasses?

Roughly 156 minutes of easy walking, 127 minutes of brisk walking or 56 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.
