how many calories in moong - #25110

Navya

I am really confused about my diet lately and need some insight from you guys. I’ve started including moong dal in my meals because I’ve heard it’s super healthy. I was making some curry with moong and was just wondering, how many calories in moong? Like, the cooked kind? I’m trying to track my calories since I’m on this weight loss journey but honestly, I never know how to calculate stuff. I talked to a friend the other day who said there are around 100 calories in a cup of cooked moong, but then I looked it up online, and there are so many different answers! It seems like everywhere I go I see different info on how many calories in moong. Just yesterday I made a big batch and kind of lost track of the portions, which wasn't great for me. I've been snacking on moong sprout salad too – does that have more or less calories? Are there any differences depending on how it’s cooked or prepared? I just want to make sure I’m not going overboard, ya know? Any insights you have on how many calories in moong, especially in different recipes, would be a huge help!

Cooked moong dal, which is commonly used in curries or dal stews, generally contains about 150 calories per cup. This can slightly vary based on how it’s cooked, particularly with ingredients like oil or ghee added during preparation, which can increase the overall calorie count. For instance, a simple boiled moong without any added fats will be on the lower end of the calorie scale, whereas if you make a tadka (tempering) with oil and spices, it’ll rise. When you’re cooking, being mindful of how much oil or other high-calorie ingredients you add will be very helpful in managing overall intake.

In terms of raw moong sprouts, they are even lower in calories, offering about 31 calories per cup, which makes it a great low-calorie, nutrient-dense snack. They are rich in proteins, vitamins, and minerals, which can be very beneficial in a weight-loss journey. If you’re making a salad, be cautious with dressings or other high-calorie toppings that can add up quickly.

Tracking portions with measuring cups or a kitchen scale might be cumbersome at first, but it can really help you get a more accurate read on what you’re consuming. Just remember, consistency is key when it comes to tracking your intake and reaching your goals. If you vary recipes often, try to calculate the nutritional info for each version you make, so you know just what you’re taking in.
