What changes the number
Curd is a quiet workhorse — cheap protein, live cultures, and it goes with almost any Indian meal. Full-fat set from buffalo milk is meaningfully higher in fat than the toned-milk version, so which milk your household uses changes this number. Greek-style hung curd roughly doubles the protein per 100 g, which is a genuinely useful swap if you are trying to hold protein up while eating less. Sweetened flavoured yoghurt is a different food; check the label.

Where this number comes from
Primary source: MetaFit Indian Curated v1.0, entry dahi_plain (Set from whole milk.) — the same dataset the MetaFit app logs against. Checked by MetaFit Nutrition Team on 2026-09-22.
Cross-checked against USDA FoodData Central (Yogurt, plain, whole milk), which gives 61 kcal per 100 g — effectively the same figure.
Home recipes vary, especially in oil and ghee.
