What it takes to burn off 3 portions
Minutes of activity for a 70 kg adult to spend 398 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 3 portions?
About 398 kcal, taking one portion as 50 g (full-cream cow-milk paneer, raw; IFCT's carbohydrate figure is not used, see the method page). That is 27.5 g protein, 6.0 g carbohydrate and 30.0 g fat across 150 g of food.
Is 3 portions too much?
It depends entirely on the rest of the day. 398 kcal is roughly 20% of a 2,000 kcal day and 25% of a 1,600 kcal day. The honest answer is that 3 portions rarely makes a meal on its own — what goes with it usually decides the total.
How long does it take to burn off 3 portions?
Roughly 93 minutes of easy walking, 75 minutes of brisk walking or 33 minutes of running for a 70 kg adult. Useful for scale — not a licence, since appetite rises with activity.
