Founder's Note

From Mohit, founder of Chau Foods

Hi, I am Mohit from Chau Foods. The honest secret to low calorie snacking is the bowl, not the brand. Pour one portion, close the jar and walk away. Plain makhana and a few almonds are the best value for calories, and our flavoured jars are for when you want taste.

Calories per Serving

Low calorie does not mean a snack is good for you, and a "healthy" snack can still be high in calories. What matters is the portion you actually eat.

SnackServingCalories

Almonds10 almonds (about 12 g)about 70 kcal
Roasted makhana in 1 tsp ghee1 bowl (28 g)about 140 kcal
Masala ragi chips (our label)28 gabout 131 kcal
Roasted millet mix namkeen (our label)28 gabout 135 kcal

Calories are only half the story. Snacks with fibre or protein keep you full for longer, so you eat less later.

  • Almonds: protein, fibre and healthy fat. Small portions go a long way.
  • Roasted millet mix: 16.8 g protein and 8.6 g fibre per 100 g on our label.
  • Ragi chips: 6.9 g fibre per 100 g, about twice regular potato chips.
  • Plain makhana: very light, so you get a big bowl for few calories.

The Lowest Calorie Picks

1

Plain makhana

A full cup for about 50 kcal. Dry roast it or use very little ghee.

2

A few almonds

10 almonds for about 70 kcal, very filling.

3

Fruit

An apple or orange is under 100 kcal and full of water and fibre.

Snacks to Keep Small

  • Fried namkeen and bhujia, often 500+ kcal per 100 g.
  • Cream biscuits and cookies, high in sugar.
  • Any snack eaten straight from a big pack. Pour one bowl and close the pack.
