Calories in 2 ladoos

The short answer

2 ladoos, weighed

382kcal 2 ladoos — 80 g in total — comes to about 382 calories, with 7.3 g protein, 41.2 g carbohydrate and 21.0 g fat.

Protein 7.3 g · 7.6% of energy Carbs 41.2 g · 43.1% of energy Fat 21.0 g · 49.3% of energy

Serving assumed: 1 ladoo ≈ 40 g — besan roasted in ghee with sugar. Change the portion and every number below changes with it.

From a table row to one ladoo

Read the per-100 g row for besan ladoo 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 478 kcal ਅਤੇ 9.1 g protein per 100 g.
Weigh what is actually served. This site enters 1 ladoo at 40 g (besan roasted in ghee with sugar). 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: 478 × 40 ÷ 100 = 191 kcal per ladoo. Nothing is rounded up, adjusted or smoothed — two ladoos 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.

per ladoo   =  per 100 g  ×  serving grams ÷ 100
Besan Ladoo        =    478 kcal ×   40 g ÷ 100  =  191 kcal

Minutes of activity for a 70 kg adult to spend 382 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.

ਸਵਾਲ

How many calories are in 2 ladoos?

About 382 kcal, taking one ladoo as 40 g (besan roasted in ghee with sugar). That is 7.3 g protein, 41.2 g carbohydrate and 21.0 g fat across 80 g of food.

Is 2 ladoos too much?

It depends entirely on the rest of the day. 382 kcal is roughly 19% of a 2,000 kcal day and 24% of a 1,600 kcal day. The honest answer is that 2 ladoos rarely makes a meal on its own — what goes with it usually decides the total.

How long does it take to burn off 2 ladoos?

Roughly 89 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.

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.
