Assumed: 1 katori arils ≈ 150 g — arils only.
Pomegranate (Anar) by portion
Everything scales linearly from the 150 g serving. If your portion is bigger, so is the number.
| Portion | Grams | Calories | Protein | Carbs | Fat | Fibre |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 × 1 katori arils | 150 g | 82 kcal | 2.0 g | 17.4 g | 0.3 g | 4.2 g |
| 2 × 1 katori arils | 300 g | 164 kcal | 3.9 g | 34.8 g | 0.6 g | 8.4 g |
| 3 × 1 katori arils | 450 g | 246 kcal | 5.9 g | 52.2 g | 0.9 g | 12.6 g |
| Per 100 g | 100 g | 55 kcal | 1.3 g | 11.6 g | 0.2 g | 2.8 g |
Carbohydrate is available carbohydrate; fibre is listed separately and is in neither the carbohydrate column nor the energy figure. Energy is reconciled against 4P + 4C + 9F on every build.

Read this with it: Arils only, which is what gets eaten. Almost all of the carbohydrate here is free sugar.
How pomegranate (anar) is counted here
- The serving is the portion this food is actually eaten in — 1 katori arils, taken as 150 g — not an anonymous 100 g.
- Composition is read off a named row: Indian Food Composition Tables 2017 (ICMR–NIN) (food code E055, Pomegranate, maroon seeds (Punica granatum)), and the label on that row is printed above rather than hidden.
- Carbohydrate is available carbohydrate. Where a source publishes carbohydrate by difference, the fibre is subtracted here and the subtraction is stated.
- Energy is reconciled against Atwater factors on every build; a value that disagrees with its own macros does not ship.
serving kcal = 55 kcal/100 g × (150 g ÷ 100) = 82 kcal check = 4·P + 4·C + 9·F (±15%, ±20% high-fibre)
Where it sits on a fasting plate
Among the 12 entries in fruit on this site, pomegranate (anar) ranks 7 of 12 for energy density at 55 kcal per 100 g.
Protein supplies 10% of its energy. That is respectable for the permitted list, but a whole day built on foods like this will still run short — see protein during a vrat.
It is light enough that the portion is forgiving, which is rare on a vrat food list.
Questions
Is pomegranate (anar) eaten during a vrat?
It is commonly eaten during a phalahar vrat in most households. Customs differ by family, region and community — this describes what is usual, not what is required.
How many calories are in 1 katori arils of pomegranate (anar)?
About 82 kcal for 1 katori arils, taken as 150 g (arils only). That is 2.0 g protein, 17.4 g carbohydrate and 0.3 g fat. Per 100 g it carries 55 kcal.
Is pomegranate (anar) filling, or just energy?
Protein supplies about 10% of its energy, which is moderate. Pair it with curd, milk or nuts where your observance permits. Fibre is moderate at 2.8 g per 100 g. On a vrat that matters more than usual, because so much of the permitted food list is rapidly digested starch.

Practices are described as commonly observed; customs differ by family, region, community and sampradaya, and this site is not an authority on any of them. Food values come from the Indian Food Composition Tables 2017 (ICMR–NIN), the older ICMR–NIN tables, USDA FoodData Central, named composition studies and the shared ThaliFacts dataset, reconciled against Atwater factors on every build. Which source applies to which food is listed per food, and every source carries the date it was last checked. General information only — not medical or religious guidance.
