How almonds (badam) is counted here
- The serving is the portion this food is actually eaten in — 10 almonds, taken as 12 g — not an anonymous 100 g.
- Composition is read off a named row: Shared ThaliFacts dataset, 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 = 600 kcal/100 g × (12 g ÷ 100) = 72 kcal check = 4·P + 4·C + 9·F (±15%, ±20% high-fibre)

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.
