What it takes to burn off 1 bhatura of bhatura
Minutes of activity for a 70 kg adult to spend 264 kcal, using MET values from the 2024 Adult Compendium of Physical Activities. This is a scale check, not a licence — appetite rises with activity and the two do not cancel neatly.
Calculated as MET × 3.5 × 70 kg ÷ 200 kcal per minute. Full working on the method page, and the whole activity dataset at BurnLab.
Where bhatura sits in an Indian plate

Protein supplies only 8% of its energy, so treat it as an energy food rather than a protein food. Fibre is moderate at 2.0 g per 100 g.

Questions
How many calories are in 1 bhatura?
About 264 kcal for 1 bhatura, taken as 80 g (fermented refined flour, deep-fried). Two come to roughly 528 kcal and three to 792 kcal. Per 100 g, bhatura carries 330 kcal.
How much protein is in bhatura?
7.0 g per 100 g, which works out to 5.6 g in 1 bhatura. That is 8% of the energy in this food, and ranks 12th of 20 in the breads & rotis group on this site.
Is bhatura good for weight loss?
At 330 kcal per 100 g it is energy-dense, so the portion decides everything. 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 fermented refined flour, deep-fried. A restaurant version can be 30 to 60% higher.
