Coach's take: is Sandesh healthy?

  • ●Sandesh is calorie-dense, so portions add up fast at 300 kcal per 100 g. About 48% of its calories come from carbs, 16% from protein and 36% 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. 1 piece (25 g) adds 75 kcal.
  • ●It's low in protein (3 g in 1 piece (25 g)), so if you're building muscle, pair it with dal, paneer, curd, eggs or chicken.
  • ●Much of its carbohydrate is sugar (30 g per 100 g), so treat it as an occasional food rather than a daily staple.

To burn it off: 1 piece (25 g) (75 kcal) takes about 15 min of brisk walking or 7 min of running for a 70 kg adult.
