Questions

How many calories are in 1 plate?

About 413 kcal for 1 plate, taken as 250 g (indo-chinese restaurant style, wok-fried in oil). Two come to roughly 825 kcal and three to 1,238 kcal. Per 100 g, vegetable fried rice carries 165 kcal.

How much protein is in vegetable fried rice?

3.8 g per 100 g, which works out to 9.5 g in 1 plate. That is 9% of the energy in this food, and ranks 7th of 18 in the rice dishes group on this site.

Is vegetable fried rice good for weight loss?

At 165 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 indo-chinese restaurant style, wok-fried in oil. A restaurant version can be 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.
