Add your household members below to estimate a healthy monthly cooking oil quantity — based on ICMR-NIN dietary fat guidance — and how many Thonmai bottles that means.
Frying and deep-fried snacks use more oil per person than plain dietary intake accounts for — this adjusts the estimate for how your household actually cooks, not just what's eaten.
ICMR-NIN's 2020 Recommended Dietary Allowances state that visible fat (cooking oil) should be limited to 20–50g per person per day depending on energy needs and physical activity — for adults, that's 25/30/40g per day for men (sedentary/moderate/heavy work) and 20/25/30g for women. Figures for toddlers, children, teens and seniors are Thonmai's estimates, scaled from ICMR-NIN's energy requirement tables, since official visible-fat figures are published only for adult men and women. The cooking-style adjustment above is Thonmai's own practical estimate, layered on top of the ICMR-NIN figures — it is not an official ICMR/FSSAI value.
