Ghee
per real serving, not per 100 g
What 1 teaspoon carries
45kcal
1 teaspoon — taken as 5 g — carries about 45 calories, with 0.0 g protein, 0.0 g carbohydrate and 5.0 g fat.
Per 100 g: 900 kcal ಮತ್ತು 0.0 g protein.

Assumed: 1 teaspoon ≈ 5 g — pure milk fat — one teaspoon is 45 kcal, and vrat food uses a lot of it.
Ghee by portion
Everything scales linearly from the 5 g serving. If your portion is bigger, so is the number.

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.

How ghee is counted here
- The serving is the portion this food is actually eaten in — 1 teaspoon, taken as 5 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 = 900 kcal/100 g × (5 g ÷ 100) = 45 kcal check = 4·P + 4·C + 9·F (±15%, ±20% high-fibre)
Where it sits on a fasting plate
Among the 10 entries in milk & dairy on this site, ghee ranks 1 of 10 for energy density at 900 kcal per 100 g.
Protein supplies only 0% of its energy. Most of the vrat food list looks like this, which is exactly why protein during a vrat is the guide people need most.
It is fat-dominant, so the portion decides everything — a katori and a handful are very different amounts.
ಪ್ರಶ್ನೆಗಳು
Is ghee 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 teaspoon of ghee?
About 45 kcal for 1 teaspoon, taken as 5 g (pure milk fat — one teaspoon is 45 kcal, and vrat food uses a lot of it). That is 0.0 g protein, 0.0 g carbohydrate and 5.0 g fat. Per 100 g it carries 900 kcal.
Is ghee filling, or just energy?
Protein supplies only about 0% of its energy, so treat it as fuel rather than as something that will keep you full. Fibre is low at 0.0 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.
