How Nimbu Pani fits in your diet
A 1 glass (~250 g) of nimbu pani contributes about 2% of a 2,000-kcal daily target and roughly 0% of an average adult's 50 g daily protein floor. Typically made with lemon, water, sugar or jaggery, salt, mint.
Lemon, water, sugar (or jaggery), salt and a pinch of black pepper — a hot-weather essential. For a balanced Indian plate, pair it with a protein source (dal, paneer, eggs or chicken), a sabzi and a small portion of curd or salad. Restaurant or street-style versions can run 20–40% higher in calories because of extra oil, ghee or cream — adjust portion size accordingly.
