#HowManyCaloriesinIndianSweets Just like cakes, pastries, cookies, and pies define the west, different varieties of lip-smacking sweets define India. There can be no special day, festival, or occasion without the inclusion of sweets. In fact, having sweets in dessert for lunch or dinner is a must in most Indian households. Every state has its own speciality as per the local taste. For instance, Rasgulla or Rasmalai from West Bengal, Basundi from Gujarat, Mysore Pak from Karnataka, Khaja from Bihar, and so on. What’s usually common among these sweets is milk, khoya, chhena (cottage cheese) or kheer. Sweets are available in two different variants in India – dry and wet (dipped in milk, rabri, or sugar syrup). While laddoo, peda, or sondesh are some of the famous dry variants available all across India, gulab jamun, rasgulla, or shrikhand are some of the famous wet variants in the Indian sweet category. In most sweets, the milk is thickened, just like condensed milk, and lots of sugar or jaggery is used that adds to the calories. Whether it’s Holi, Diwali, Chhath, GudiPadwa, or Durga Puja, no festival in India is complete without sweets. During this time, we become completely oblivious to the calorie intake part and savour these heavenly items, eyes closed. From a normal individual without any ailments to those in the obese category or those with diabetes, no one really cares about their health when its about festivals and sweets. Sweets are made with all love and are eaten randomly without any fear. But, once the festivities are over, that’s when we realize that we have put on weight and our sugar levels have shot up! That’s when we run for doctors and medicines, and vow not to have sweets next time, only to break it again. While it can be tempting not to avoid these sweets during festivals, the calories contained in them are not easy to burn. If you are not sure about the calories contained each variant, it’s better to get informed to save yourself from piling up those kilos and adding those inches. So, know about the calories contained in each sweet item and become a wise eater. Calories in Indian Sweets Food Name Food Quantity Calories Gujia 2 pieces 300 Gulab Jamun 2 pieces 350 Halwa (rawa) 1 bowl 181 Halwa (sohan halwa) 1 bowl 399 Jalebi 3-4 pieces 494 Kheer (rice) 1 bowl 247 Sandesh 2 pieces 80 Patisa 2 pieces 280 Rasmalai 2 pieces 320 Khoya burfi 2 pieces 300 Cocobut burfi 2 pieces 387 Ghia burfi 2 pieces 332 Kaju burfi 2 pieces 320 Chocolate burfi 2 pieces 240 Chennamurki 50 gm 260 Milkcake 2 pieces 450 Besanladoos 2 pieces 340 Boondiladoo 2 pieces 410 Rasgulla 2 pieces 300 For further clarification, Rasgullasare made of Chenna, semolina dough, and sugar syrup. Small doughs are formed and cooked in sugar, and soaked in syrup once completed. 2 pieces of Rasgullacontains 1gm of fat, 2mg of Cholesterol, and 150 calories. Similarly, gulabjamuns are made of khoya (milk solids), flavoured cardamom, and sugar syrup. Small doughs are deep fried in oil, and then soaked in sugar syrup. 2pcs of Gulab Jamuns contain approx. 15gms fat, 31mgs cholesterol, and around 380 calories. A dry sweet variant like, sondesh (Indian milk cakes) is made of strongly thickened milk, rava, sugar, and ghee. The milk needs to be stirred strongly while adding ghee and sugar. Mix everything and stir till the mixture becomes thick enough to form small doughs. Cool the doughs, freeze for a few hours, and serve. Each 50gms of sondesh contains 9gms of fat, 20mg of cholesterol, and 175gms calories, which is far less than Gulab Jamun. There are hundreds of sweet variants in India and each one differs in the fat, cholesterol, and calorie content. But, considering that just a teaspoon of sugar weighing 4gms offers 16Kcal of energy and 2gms of carbohydrate, you can automatically make out how much sugar you consume in one sweet. Many of us tend to believe that we can rather opt for dry variants of sweets to reduce the calorie intake. While that is true to an extent since, dry sweets possess lower calories than the wet variants, they are still high in calories comparatively, due to the sugar content. You would be shocked to know that a decent looking one medium piece of laddoo or peda of 100gms contains about 185 calories! The calories are due to the thickened milk, dry fruits like, pistachios, sugar, saffron, and cardamoms. That’s a lot! While you must not deprive yourself from such mouth-watering sweets, it’s important to keep a tab of your calorie intake for the entire day. Now, that you have savoured your favorite sweets this Diwali, it’s time you burn them out with a strict diet and exercise regime. While you must follow a strict diet free of high calories, you must also add these physical activities in your daily routine: • Jumping rope – burns 400 calories in a 43 minutes session; • Dancing – burns upto150 calories in 24minutes; • Changing sheets – burns upto 185 calories for changing sheets for 30minutes; • One round of cleaning – burns upto 80 calories in 20minutes • Running – burns upto 270 calories for running 10kms • Calorie free gum – burns upto 50calories for chewing the calorie free gun for about four and a half hours • Mix of step climbing, toe-taps, and mountain climbing – burns upto 225 calories in 20minutes • One round of Kick-Boxing – Burns upto 175 calories in 15minutes Enjoy your sweets, but make sure you know your calorie intake, eat a balanced diet, drink loads of water/fluid, and burn it out with appropriate exercises. Eat healthy, stay fit. this post originally from JAiCOUPONS
