Peda (milk)

One serving of Peda (milk) — 1 piece (25 g) — comes to 94 kcal, 2.5 g protein, 12 g carbs and 4 g fat. Scaled to 100 g it works out to 376 kcal and 10 g protein, which makes it a moderate protein source for a sweet item. That single serving is about 6.3% of a 1,500 kcal day and 4.7% 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 Peda (milk) takes roughly 2,350 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 ₹15 a serving it costs about ₹120 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, eggetarian. It's typically eaten at the evening snack slot.

If you want variety without changing the macros much, the closest swaps in the sweet category are Besan ladoo, Milk chocolate bar, Gulab jamun (with syrup), Honey — each keeps a similar role on the plate while shifting the exact protein-to-carb balance a little.
