Minutes of activity for a 70 kg adult to spend 248 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.

About 248 kcal for 6 momos, taken as 150 g (steamed, not fried). Two come to roughly 495 kcal and three to 743 kcal. Per 100 g, veg momos carries 165 kcal.
How much protein is in veg momos?
4.5 g per 100 g, which works out to 6.8 g in 6 momos. That is 11% of the energy in this food, and ranks 23rd of 29 in the snacks & street food group on this site.
Is veg momos 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. 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 steamed, not fried. A restaurant version can be 30 to 60% higher.
