Kalakand calories
per piece, not per 100 g
The short answer
One piece, weighed
138kcal 1 piece — taken as 40 g — has about 138 calories, with 5.2 g protein, 15.1 g carbohydrate and 6.3 g fat. Two come to 276 kcal, three to 414 kcal.
Per 100 g, kalakand carries 345 kcal మరియు 13.0 g protein.

Serving assumed: 1 piece ≈ 40 g — grainy milk sweet. Change the portion and every number below changes with it.

From a table row to one piece
- Read the per-100 g row for kalakand 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 345 kcal మరియు 13.0 g protein per 100 g.
- Weigh what is actually served. This site enters 1 piece at 40 g (grainy milk sweet). 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: 345 × 40 ÷ 100 = 138 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.

Kalakand, entered by the portion
The kitchen ledger: one piece at 40 g, then two, then three. Every row is the row above multiplied — nothing is rounded up or quietly adjusted.

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.

What it takes to burn off 1 piece of kalakand
Minutes of activity for a 70 kg adult to spend 138 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 kalakand sits in an Indian plate
Among the 24 sweets & mithai entries on this site, kalakand ranks 2nd for protein (13.0 g per 100 g) and శక్తి సాంద్రతకు 12వ (345 kcal per 100 g). The protein leader in the group is peanut chikki at 13.9 g.
Protein supplies 15% of its energy — respectable, but a plate built only on this will run short. Dal, curd, paneer or eggs close the gap cheaply. 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.
ప్రశ్నలు
How many calories are in 1 piece?
About 138 kcal for 1 piece, taken as 40 g (grainy milk sweet). Two come to roughly 276 kcal and three to 414 kcal. Per 100 g, kalakand carries 345 kcal.
How much protein is in kalakand?
13.0 g per 100 g, which works out to 5.2 g in 1 piece. That is 15% of the energy in this food, and ranks 2nd of 24 in the sweets & mithai group on this site.
Is kalakand good for weight loss?
At 345 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 grainy milk sweet. 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 khoya with 22 g crumbled paneer and 28 g sugar, cooked until grainy and set. 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 L004, Khoa; IFCT 2017 L003, Paneer. 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. 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.
