Peanuts (Moongphali) by portion
Everything scales linearly from the 25 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 peanuts (moongphali) is counted here
- The serving is the portion this food is actually eaten in — 1 small handful, taken as 25 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 = 565 kcal/100 g × (25 g ÷ 100) = 141 kcal check = 4·P + 4·C + 9·F (±15%, ±20% high-fibre)
Observances it appears in
Where peanuts (moongphali) shows up in the food customarily associated with an observance on this site. This is a description of common practice, not a rule.
Where it sits on a fasting plate
Among the 6 entries in nuts & dry fruit on this site, peanuts (moongphali) ranks 5 of 6 for energy density at 565 kcal per 100 g.
Protein supplies 18% 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 fat-dominant, so the portion decides everything — a katori and a handful are very different amounts.
கேள்விகள்
Is peanuts (moongphali) eaten during a vrat?
It depends on the household. Some families include peanuts (moongphali) on a phalahar vrat and others set it aside, and the reasoning is a matter of family practice and sampradaya rather than nutrition. Follow your own.
How many calories are in 1 small handful of peanuts (moongphali)?
About 141 kcal for 1 small handful, taken as 25 g (raw or dry-roasted, unsalted — the protein backbone of sabudana khichdi). That is 6.3 g protein, 4.0 g carbohydrate and 10.0 g fat. Per 100 g it carries 565 kcal.
Is peanuts (moongphali) filling, or just energy?
Protein supplies about 18% of its energy, which is moderate. Pair it with curd, milk or nuts where your observance permits. Fibre is high at 8.5 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. Fasting is not safe for everyone, particularly during pregnancy or with diabetes or other conditions. Speak to a doctor first.
