Jaggery (gur)

One serving of Jaggery (gur) — 1 small piece (20 g) — comes to 70 kcal, 0.4 g protein, 17 g carbs and 0 g fat. Scaled to 100 g it works out to 350 kcal and 2 g protein, which makes it not a meaningful protein source on its own for a sweet item. That single serving is about 4.7% of a 1,500 kcal day and 3.5% of a 2,000 kcal day, so it's more of a filler than a target-hitter on protein without much extra planning.

Walking off Jaggery (gur) takes roughly 1,750 steps, using the rough approximation of 0.04 kcal burned per step (a population-average estimate for a moderate walking pace, not a personalised number). At ₹2 a serving it costs about ₹100 for every 20 g of protein it delivers, which is a mid-to-high price for protein compared with dal, eggs or soya chunks. It fits nearly every Indian diet type, including vegetarian, Jain, vegan. It works at lunch, the evening snack slot and dinner. It's commonly eaten on fasting days (Navratri/Ekadashi-style).

If you want variety without changing the macros much, the closest swaps in the sweet category are Jalebi, Kaju katli, Modak (steamed, coconut-jaggery), Sugar — each keeps a similar role on the plate while shifting the exact protein-to-carb balance a little.
