What it takes to burn off 1 teaspoon of mixed pickle
Minutes of activity for a 70 kg adult to spend 15 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.
Where mixed pickle sits in an Indian plate

Protein supplies only 3% of its energy, so treat it as an energy food rather than a protein food. Fibre is moderate at 2.2 g per 100 g.

Questions
How many calories are in 1 teaspoon?
About 15 kcal for 1 teaspoon, taken as 8 g (oil-preserved mixed vegetable pickle). Two come to roughly 30 kcal and three to 46 kcal. Per 100 g, mixed pickle carries 190 kcal.
How much protein is in mixed pickle?
1.5 g per 100 g, which works out to 0.1 g in 1 teaspoon. That is 3% of the energy in this food, and ranks 9th of 16 in the raita, chutney & sides group on this site.
Is mixed pickle good for weight loss?
At 190 kcal per 100 g it is mid-range — it fits a deficit if the portion is measured rather than eyeballed. Protein is low, so eat it alongside a protein source rather than on its own. 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 oil-preserved mixed vegetable pickle. A restaurant version can be 30 to 60% higher.
