Questions
How many calories are in 1 medium aloo paratha?
About 226 kcal for 1 medium aloo paratha, taken as 110 g (whole wheat, potato stuffing, cooked with about 1 teaspoon of oil). Two come to roughly 451 kcal and three to 677 kcal. Per 100 g, aloo paratha carries 205 kcal.

3.7 g per 100 g, which works out to 4.1 g in 1 medium aloo paratha. That is 7% of the energy in this food, and ranks 20th of 20 in the breads & rotis group on this site.
Is aloo paratha good for weight loss?
At 205 kcal per 100 g it is mid-range — it fits a deficit if the portion is measured rather than eyeballed. Protein is low, so eat it alongside a protein source rather than on its own. No single food makes or breaks a diet; the total for the day does.
Why does this differ from other calorie sites?
Two reasons. First, most sites publish a per-100 g figure from a US database and leave you to guess what a roti or a katori weighs; this page states the serving weight up front. Second, home-cooked Indian food varies enormously with oil and ghee — the figures here assume whole wheat, potato stuffing, cooked with about 1 teaspoon of oil. A restaurant version can be 30 to 60% higher.
