Questions
How many calories are in 3 pieces?
About 165 kcal, taking one piece as 45 g (chhena ball boiled in light syrup — the lightest common mithai). That is 2.7 g protein, 27.9 g carbohydrate and 4.7 g fat across 135 g of food.
Is 3 pieces too much?
It depends entirely on the rest of the day. 165 kcal is roughly 8% of a 2,000 kcal day and 10% of a 1,600 kcal day. The honest answer is that 3 pieces rarely makes a meal on its own — what goes with it usually decides the total.
How long does it take to burn off 3 pieces?
Roughly 38 minutes of easy walking, 31 minutes of brisk walking or 14 minutes of running for a 70 kg adult. Useful for scale — not a licence, since appetite rises with activity.
