Coach's take: is Panjiri healthy?

  • ●Panjiri is calorie-dense, so portions add up fast at 480 kcal per 100 g. About 40% of its calories come from carbs, 7% from protein and 53% from fat.
  • ●Most of its calories come from sugar, which digests fast and won't keep you full. On a fat-loss diet, keep it occasional and count it. 2 tbsp (30 g) adds 144 kcal.
  • ●It's low in protein (2.4 g in 2 tbsp (30 g)), so if you're building muscle, pair it with dal, paneer, curd, eggs or chicken.
  • ●Much of its carbohydrate is sugar (22 g per 100 g), so treat it as an occasional food rather than a daily staple.

To burn it off: 2 tbsp (30 g) (144 kcal) takes about 29 min of brisk walking or 13 min of running for a 70 kg adult.
