Serving assumed: 1 vada pav ≈ 130 g — batata vada in a pav with chutney — mumbai standard size. Change the portion and every number below changes with it.
From a table row to one vada pav
- Read the per-100 g row for vada pav 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 280 kcal आणि 6.2 g protein per 100 g.
- Weigh what is actually served. This site enters 1 vada pav at 130 g (batata vada in a pav with chutney — mumbai standard size). 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: 280 × 130 ÷ 100 = 364 kcal per vada pav. Nothing is rounded up, adjusted or smoothed — two vada pavs 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.
