Tea biscuit calories come to 22 for one plain biscuit (4.9 g) and 446 per 100 g. The single number looks tiny because the biscuit is tiny. By weight this is a dense, sugary snack, and an individual box of 57 g lands at 254 calories, more than ten biscuits' worth.

One biscuit is 22 calories, a box is 254
A single tea biscuit weighs just 4.9 g, so it barely registers at 22 calories and 1% of the daily value for energy. Nobody stops at one with a cup of tea, though. Two biscuits come to 44 calories, three to 66, and five to 109. Each one adds roughly the same small step, which makes the total easy to track if you count as you go.
The jump happens when you eat by the package instead of by the piece. A 1 oz portion (28 g) is 125 calories, about 6% of the daily value. An individual box of 57 g reaches 254 calories and 13% of the daily value, with 13.3 g of sugars. That box is a light snack on paper and a small meal in calories.
The practical move is simple. Take the number you plan to eat out of the pack and close it. Five biscuits at 109 calories feel like a generous plate next to a mug, and they cost less than half of what the full box does.
Two thirds of the calories are carbs
The calorie split is 66% carbohydrate, 28% fat and 6% protein. Per 100 g that means 74.1 g of carbs, 13.8 g of fat and 6.9 g of protein. This is a flour-and-sugar product first, with a modest amount of fat for texture and very little protein to slow you down.
Fat is lower than in many cookies, which is why tea biscuits have a reputation as the plain, lighter option. Saturated fat sits at 3.5 g per 100 g, and cholesterol is 0. The trade-off is that the carbs dominate, and fiber is only 1.1 g per 100 g, or 0.1 g in a single biscuit.
Protein is the weak spot. One biscuit gives 0.3 g, five give 1.7 g, and even the 57 g box offers just 3.9 g, about 8% of the daily value. If you want a snack that keeps you full until dinner, these biscuits will not do that job on their own.
Sugar is the row to watch
Per 100 g, tea biscuits carry 23.3 g of sugars, close to a third of their carbohydrate. One biscuit holds 1.1 g, which is trivial. A 1 oz portion holds 6.5 g, and the individual box holds 13.3 g. The sugar adds up the same way the calories do, quietly and one piece at a time.
Sodium is less obvious for a sweet snack, but it is there. A biscuit has 16 mg, five have 82 mg, and 100 g has 335 mg, which is 15% of the daily value. The box brings 191 mg, about 8% of the daily value. If you watch sodium, that is worth knowing, though it is far below savory biscuits.
Brands differ in sweetness. Kedem sells original, whole wheat, orange, chocolate and vanilla tea biscuits, plus sugar free versions. Check the label on the one you buy, since the figures here describe the plain packaged type.
Count the biscuits, not the cup
Tea biscuits are built for dunking, and that ritual is where portions drift. The numbers on this page cover the biscuits only. Whatever you put in the cup, such as milk or sugar, sits on top of them, so log the drink on its own line.
A few biscuits work well as a small sweet finish or an afternoon break. Since they bring little protein or fiber, pairing them with something more filling, such as yogurt or a piece of fruit, makes the snack last longer than a stack of biscuits would. Three biscuits at 66 calories next to a filling food is a different snack from a whole box eaten alone.
If you track your intake, BodyPal can log tea biscuits from a photo of your plate. Counting the pieces you actually ate still gives the cleanest number.
How does tea biscuit compare?
Here is how the tea biscuit compares with a tea cake, a cheese biscuit and a sausage biscuit, per 100 g and per usual serving.
Verdict: For the fewest calories per 100 g, the cheese biscuit (374) and sausage biscuit (372) beat the tea biscuit's 446, but they carry 946 mg and 870 mg of sodium against 335 mg. For a small sweet bite with tea, the tea biscuit and tea cake are nearly even at 446 and 429 per 100 g, so counting pieces matters more than switching.
