About 252 kcal for 2 vadas, taken as 80 g (deep-fried tapioca and potato patties). Two come to roughly 504 kcal and three to 756 kcal. Per 100 g, sabudana vada carries 315 kcal.
How much protein is in sabudana vada?
4.5 g per 100 g, which works out to 3.6 g in 2 vadas. That is 6% of the energy in this food, and ranks 7th of 14 in the breakfast group on this site.
Is sabudana vada good for weight loss?
At 315 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 deep-fried tapioca and potato patties. A restaurant version can be 30 to 60% higher.
