If Sbudana Khichdi is so bad why was it recommended diet for fasting? All because it depends on how much (volume) you eat. It is a fasting food to be had when hungry and only little to appease hunger. It is rich in vitamin and minerals as agreed.

   Sabudana is a cereal which is allowed during fasting. As correctly said by you, it being high in calories and carbs it is satiates you instantly. However too many carbs can lead to instant rise in blood sugar levels, which is not very healthy.

I measures one cup to be 141grams. This makes one serving approx 350 grams. If you are giving carbs, fat and protein in grams you should measure the total serving to be more helpful for those monitoring macros. More people will use your site.
