How we judge this, and the sources
The answer comes from the food's composition, not from opinion: its Nutri-Score grade on the open 2023 algorithm, a traffic light for sugar, salt, saturated fat and fiber per 100 g, and the share of daily reference amounts in a typical serving (for salt, sugar, fiber and vegetables, those of the WHO). It rates the food's nutrient profile; it is not medical advice. Formulas, thresholds and every source are on the methodology page; last checked against the sources on September 30, 2026. The short food description was written by our language model (AI) — how we check the text.
Samosas are fried Indian pastries, most often filled with spiced potatoes and peas.

Rounded. Carbohydrates are total carbohydrate, fiber included, as on a US Nutrition Facts label; salt is sodium × 2.5. Table licenses are on the data sources page.

Samosas: calories by type and cooking method
“Calories per 100 g” depends on which kind you mean — dry or cooked, oil in the pan, what it's served with. Every row comes from the same database the diary uses.

How much movement is one serving?
A serving (2 pieces, 100 g) is 310 kcal — roughly 1 h 41 min of easy walking or 39 min of cycling for a 70 kg (154 lb) person. In the diary, minutes are worked out for your weight and the activities you actually do.
Healthier swaps for Samosas
Why swap: samosas have a fair amount of saturated fat (4.4 g per 100 g), a fair amount of salt (1 g per 100 g), almost no fiber (1.8 g per 100 g). The swaps below fix that at the same calories.
How we pick
A swap is offered only for a real problem with the food (for grades C–E an amber traffic light counts too), from the same or a neighbouring category, in a serving matched to the same calories (±25%; drinks glass for glass) and no more than one and a half times the original weight, a full Nutri-Score grade better and with a noticeable gain per serving. We don't suggest “salad instead of pizza”.
- Potato and pea samosa — 120 g, 307 kcal: −2.5 g saturated fat, −0.7 g salt.
