It carries 4.6 g of protein per 100 calories, so it is not a meaningful protein source.
To burn off one cup (93 kcal), a 70 kg adult would walk for roughly 19 minutes — see the walking calculation on our sister site, or pick a different activity. Treat that as a sense of scale rather than a rule: eating and moving are not a simple ledger.
