Is Besan Ladoo good for weight loss?

Best kept occasional

Besan Ladoo carries roughly 477 kcal per 100 g, which is on the very high side for an everyday Indian food. It also delivers about 8.9 g of protein per 100 g, which helps you stay full for longer and protects muscle while you are in a calorie deficit. The fibre content (around 4.6 g per 100 g) slows digestion and steadies appetite between meals. Because it is calorie-dense, the portion size matters far more than whether you eat it at all — weigh or eyeball your serving and fit it into your daily budget instead of cutting it out entirely.
