Paneer vs Boiled Egg
Both sides computed from the same table, at the serving each is actually eaten in.
Per 100 g, paneer is heavier — 265 kcal against 148 kcal for boiled egg, about 79% more. Per real serving the picture changes: 1 curry portion of paneer is 133 kcal, while 1 medium egg of boiled egg is 67 kcal, because the portions are not the same size. On protein, paneer wins with 18.3 g per 100 g.

How to read this
Per-100 g comparisons flatter whatever is eaten in small portions. Paneer is denser per gram, but people do not eat by the gram — paneer arrives as 1 curry portion and boiled egg as 1 medium egg, and that is where the real difference shows up.
Paneer carries more protein, which matters more than the calorie gap if you are trying to stay full. Both figures assume home cooking with a measured amount of oil; a restaurant plate of either can run 30 to 60% higher.
Nutrient values are averages for the stated preparation, based on the Indian Food Composition Tables 2017 (ICMR–NIN) and standard recipe analysis. Energy is reconciled against the macronutrients with Atwater factors on every build. General information only — not medical or nutrition advice. Home-cooked Indian food varies enormously with oil, ghee and portion size; every value here is an average for a stated serving, with the assumption shown.
