Milk Peda calories
per peda, not per 100 g
The short answer
One peda, weighed
91kcal 1 peda — taken as 25 g — has about 91 calories, with 2.6 g protein, 11.1 g carbohydrate and 4.1 g fat. Two come to 183 kcal, three to 274 kcal.
Per 100 g, milk peda carries 365 kcal and 10.4 g protein.

From a table row to one peda
- Read the per-100 g row for milk peda 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 365 kcal and 10.4 g protein per 100 g.
- Weigh what is actually served. This site enters 1 peda at 25 g (khoya and sugar, mathura style). 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: 365 × 25 ÷ 100 = 91 kcal per peda. Nothing is rounded up, adjusted or smoothed — two pedas 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.

Kept in kilocalories — the "calories" printed on a packet. Carbohydrate is available carbohydrate. Fibre is entered on its own line and is counted in neither the carbohydrate column nor the energy figure.
The 100 g column, kept for the record
Because every other site quotes it, and because you should be able to check our arithmetic against theirs.

| Energy | 365 kcal | 91 kcal |
| Protein | 10.4 g | 2.6 g |
| Carbohydrate (available) | 44.4 g | 11.1 g |

What it takes to burn off 1 peda of milk peda
Minutes of activity for a 70 kg adult to spend 91 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.
Where milk peda sits in an Indian plate
Among the 24 sweets & mithai entries on this site, milk peda ranks 5th for protein (10.4 g per 100 g) and 10th for energy density (365 kcal per 100 g). The protein leader in the group is peanut chikki at 13.9 g.
Protein supplies only 11% of its energy, so treat it as an energy food rather than a protein food. There is very little fibre here — 0.0 g per 100 g.
A realistic day matters more than any single dish. If you are building a meal, the thali builder adds several foods and their real servings together in one total.
Questions
How many calories are in 1 peda?
About 91 kcal for 1 peda, taken as 25 g (khoya and sugar, mathura style). Two come to roughly 183 kcal and three to 274 kcal. Per 100 g, milk peda carries 365 kcal.
How much protein is in milk peda?
10.4 g per 100 g, which works out to 2.6 g in 1 peda. That is 11% of the energy in this food, and ranks 5th of 24 in the sweets & mithai group on this site.
Is milk peda good for weight loss?
At 365 kcal per 100 g it is energy-dense, so the portion decides everything. 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 khoya and sugar, mathura style. A restaurant version can be 30 to 60% higher.

Where this number comes from
Recipe analysis from sourced ingredients. Carbohydrate is available carbohydrate — dietary fibre excluded and listed separately.
Recipe and finished weight: 64 g khoya worked with 34 g sugar and about 3 g of ghee, rolled and pressed. Finished weight 100 g.
Confidence in the quantities: low. This dish varies enormously by household and by shop. Read the recipe below as one plausible version, not as the dish — the frying oil or the reduction, not the ingredients, is what decides the energy.
Source row: IFCT 2017 L004, Khoa. Energy on this row is the Atwater sum of the ingredients above, not an independent measurement, so it reconciles by construction — that is a property of the method and not evidence that the quantities are right. The ingredient weights are this site's assumption; the table rows behind each ingredient are not. Cooking fat is the largest single assumption here and is stated in the recipe rather than buried in the total. Same khoya-fat assumption as barfi, and the same mass constraint against the figure it replaces. One ingredient here carries no table row of its own — sugar — so this dish inherits that gap and is no more checkable than that ingredient is.
Every food on this site carries this label. What each one means, and how many foods sit behind each, is set out on the method page.
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.
