Questions
How many calories are in 3 katori?
About 410 kcal, taking one katori as 150 g (about 25 g raw dal with a 1 teaspoon oil tempering). That is 17.1 g protein, 45.9 g carbohydrate and 16.2 g fat across 450 g of food.
Is 3 katori too much?
It depends entirely on the rest of the day. 410 kcal is roughly 20% of a 2,000 kcal day and 26% of a 1,600 kcal day. The honest answer is that 3 katori rarely makes a meal on its own — what goes with it usually decides the total.
How long does it take to burn off 3 katori?
Roughly 96 minutes of easy walking, 78 minutes of brisk walking or 34 minutes of running for a 70 kg adult. Useful for scale — not a licence, since appetite rises with activity.
