What it takes to burn off 2 servings
Minutes of activity for a 70 kg adult to spend 384 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 2 servings?
About 384 kcal, taking one serving as 120 g (ground moong dal batter, lightly oiled). That is 20.4 g protein, 40.8 g carbohydrate and 14.4 g fat across 240 g of food.
Is 2 servings too much?
It depends entirely on the rest of the day. 384 kcal is roughly 19% of a 2,000 kcal day and 24% of a 1,600 kcal day. The honest answer is that 2 servings rarely makes a meal on its own — what goes with it usually decides the total.
How long does it take to burn off 2 servings?
Roughly 90 minutes of easy walking, 73 minutes of brisk walking or 32 minutes of running for a 70 kg adult. Useful for scale — not a licence, since appetite rises with activity.
