From a table row to one piece
- Read the per-100 g row for peanut chikki 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 471 kcal మరియు 13.9 g protein per 100 g.
- Weigh what is actually served. This site enters 1 piece at 25 g (peanuts set in jaggery). 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: 471 × 25 ÷ 100 = 118 kcal per piece. Nothing is rounded up, adjusted or smoothed — two pieces 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.

ప్రశ్నలు
How many calories are in 1 piece?
About 118 kcal for 1 piece, taken as 25 g (peanuts set in jaggery). Two come to roughly 236 kcal and three to 353 kcal. Per 100 g, peanut chikki carries 471 kcal.
How much protein is in peanut chikki?
13.9 g per 100 g, which works out to 3.5 g in 1 piece. That is 12% of the energy in this food, and ranks 1st of 24 in the sweets & mithai group on this site.
Is peanut chikki good for weight loss?
At 471 kcal per 100 g it is energy-dense, so the portion decides everything. Protein is moderate, so pair it with dal, curd or a non-veg side to stay full. 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 peanuts set in jaggery. A restaurant version can be 30 to 60% higher.

Where this number comes from
సేకరించిన పదార్థాల ఆధారంగా చేసిన రెసిపీ విశ్లేషణ. ఇక్కడ కార్బోహైడ్రేట్ అంటే అందుబాటులో ఉన్న కార్బోహైడ్రేట్ — డైటరీ ఫైబర్ను మినహాయించి విడిగా ఇవ్వబడింది.
రెసిపీ మరియు వండిన తర్వాత బరువు: 55 g roasted peanuts set into 48 g melted jaggery and rolled thin. A little water boils off. Finished weight 100 g.
Confidence in the quantities: medium. There is a real assumption here about how much of something went in, but it sits inside a narrow normal range.
Source row: IFCT 2017 H012, Ground nut; IFCT 2017 I001, Jaggery, cane. 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. Jaggery here is IFCT I001 as this site publishes it, which is a row the audit flagged as sitting about 8% above IFCT's own energy figure.
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.
