Boiled Sweet Potato (Shakarkandi) 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 medium | 150 g | 164 kcal | 2.0 g | 36.5 g | 0.4 g | 6.0 g |
| 2 × 1 medium | 300 g | 327 kcal | 3.9 g | 72.9 g | 0.9 g | 12.0 g |
| 3 × 1 medium | 450 g | 491 kcal | 5.9 g | 109.4 g | 1.3 g | 18.0 g |
| Per 100 g | 100 g | 109 kcal | 1.3 g | 24.3 g | 0.3 g | 4.0 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.

దీనితో కలిపి చదవండి: IFCT's Indian sweet potato is markedly starchier than the USDA one — 24.3 g of available carbohydrate against USDA's roughly 17 g after fibre is removed — and the energy follows it up to 109 kcal rather than the 90 this site used to show. The pink-skinned variety, IFCT F014, is within a whisker of it. The Indian table is used because the food on an Indian plate is the Indian cultivar.
How boiled sweet potato (shakarkandi) is counted here
- The serving is the portion this food is actually eaten in — 1 medium, 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 F013, Sweet potato, brown skin (Ipomoea batatas)), 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 = 109 kcal/100 g × (150 g ÷ 100) = 164 kcal check = 4·P + 4·C + 9·F (±15%, ±20% high-fibre)
Observances it appears in
Where boiled sweet potato (shakarkandi) 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 9 entries in vrat vegetables & tubers on this site, boiled sweet potato (shakarkandi) ranks 1 of 9 for energy density at 109 kcal per 100 g.
Protein supplies only 5% 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 sits mid-range for energy density, so a measured portion behaves predictably.
ప్రశ్నలు
Is boiled sweet potato (shakarkandi) 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. On this site it appears in the food list for Ekadashi, Purnima Vrat, Chhath Puja.
How many calories are in 1 medium of boiled sweet potato (shakarkandi)?
About 164 kcal for 1 medium, taken as 150 g (boiled or roasted, nothing added). That is 2.0 g protein, 36.5 g carbohydrate and 0.4 g fat. Per 100 g it carries 109 kcal.
Is boiled sweet potato (shakarkandi) filling, or just energy?
Protein supplies only about 5% of its energy, so treat it as fuel rather than as something that will keep you full. Fibre is moderate at 4.0 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 సాధారణంగా కనిపించేది; 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.
