Osmania Biscuit Calories and Nutrition
One Osmania biscuit (about 14 g) has roughly 70 calories, with about 3.7 g of fat, 9 g of carbohydrate and 1 g of protein. Per 100 g that is about 500 kcal. These are estimates for a home-style biscuit made to our recipe. Packaged biscuits print anywhere from about 390 to 580 kcal per 100 g, so always check the pack.
Estimated nutrition, per biscuit and per 100 g
For a 5 cm biscuit weighing about 14 g, made to our recipe.
| Nutrient | Per biscuit (14 g) | Per 100 g |
|---|---|---|
| Energy | 71 kcal | 500 kcal |
| Total fat | 3.7 g | 26 g |
| of which saturated | 2.3 g | 16 g |
| Carbohydrate | 8.8 g | 62 g |
| of which sugars | 3.0 g | 21 g |
| Protein | 0.9 g | 6 g |
| Fibre | under 0.5 g | about 1 g |
| Sodium | 31 mg | 215 mg |
| Salt equivalent | 0.08 g | 0.5 g |
By energy, about 46% of the calories come from fat, 49% from carbohydrate and 5% from protein. About 29% come from saturated fat alone, because butter is the main ingredient.
How much is in your plate?
Enter how many biscuits you eat. The bars compare them with WHO limits for a 2,000 kcal diet.
Energy7% of 2,000 kcal
Saturated fat21% of 22 g limit
Added sugar11% of 50 g limit
Salt3% of 5 g limit
Limits come from WHO guidance: saturated fat under 10% of energy (about 22 g on 2,000 kcal), free sugars under 10% (50 g) and salt under 5 g a day. They apply to your whole day, not one food.
Butter is the biggest source
A full batch of our recipe holds about 2,000 kcal. This is how it splits.
| Ingredient | Calories in batch | Share |
|---|---|---|
| Butter | 860 | 43% |
| Flour (maida) | 730 | 36% |
| Powdered sugar | 310 | 16% |
| Milk powder, custard powder, milk, spices | 100 | 5% |
That is why using ghee or a vegetable fat changes the fat profile more than anything else. See our ingredients guide.
How an Osmania biscuit fits into your day
Small, rich and easy to eat more than one of. Here is the sensible way to think about it.
Count the chai too
One level teaspoon of sugar in tea adds about 15 kcal. Two biscuits and a sweet tea can add up faster than the biscuits alone.
Check the pack weight
Biscuit sizes differ, and printed per-biscuit values range from about 60 to 115 kcal. Compare per 100 g to judge fairly.
Read the fat line
Packs made with vegetable fat or shortening can differ in saturated and trans fat. Check the label and our label guide.
If you manage diabetes, heart disease or weight, ask your doctor or dietitian how treats like this fit your plan.

Does Osmania biscuit contain trans fat?
Butter has small natural amounts. Packs made with hydrogenated fat could have more, so check the trans fat line on the label.
Do all Osmania biscuits have the same nutrition?
No. Size, butter or vegetable fat, and sugar all change the numbers, so use the label on your pack when it differs from our estimate.
How we calculated these numbers
We took the amounts from our recipe (200 g flour, 120 g butter, 80 g powdered sugar and the smaller ingredients) and added up standard reference values for each ingredient from USDA FoodData Central. We assumed about 8–10% water is lost in baking and that a batch makes about 28 biscuits of roughly 14 g each. Guideline limits come from the WHO healthy diet fact sheet.
These are estimates, not laboratory results. Real values change with the flour, butter, sugar and biscuit size. If you spot a mistake, please tell us.
