Missi Roti calories
per roti, not per 100 g
The short answer
One roti, weighed
144kcal 1 missi roti — taken as 55 g — has about 144 calories, with 5.2 g protein, 21.6 g carbohydrate and 4.0 g fat. Two come to 287 kcal, three to 431 kcal.
Per 100 g, missi roti carries 261 kcal and 9.5 g protein.

From a table row to one roti
- Read the per-100 g row for missi roti out of the Indian Food Composition Tables 2017 — analysed on Indian samples, so Indian wheat and Indian milk are not swapped for American ones. It gives 261 kcal and 9.5 g protein per 100 g.
- Weigh what is actually served. This site enters 1 missi roti at 55 g (atta and besan mix, lightly oiled). That weight is the number other calorie sites decline to state, and it is where their answers stop being answers.
- Multiply, linearly, and print the working: 261 × 55 ÷ 100 = 144 kcal per roti. Nothing is rounded up, adjusted or smoothed — two roti are exactly twice one.
- Reconcile the energy against its own macronutrients with Atwater factors on every build. A row more than 15% away from 4P + 4C + 9F (20% above 6 g of fibre) stops the build rather than shipping.

Missi Roti, entered by the portion
The kitchen ledger: one roti at 55 g, then two, then three. Every row is the row above multiplied — nothing is rounded up or quietly adjusted.

What it takes to burn off 1 missi roti of missi roti
Minutes of activity for a 70 kg adult to spend 144 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.

Where missi roti sits in an Indian plate
Among the 20 breads & rotis entries on this site, missi roti ranks 2nd for protein (9.5 g per 100 g) and 13th for energy density (261 kcal per 100 g). The protein leader in the group is paneer paratha at 10.2 g.
Protein supplies 15% of its energy — respectable, but a plate built only on this will run short. Dal, curd, paneer or eggs close the gap cheaply. Fibre is genuinely high at 8.3 g per 100 g.
A realistic day matters more than any single dish. If you are building a meal, the thali builder adds several foods and their real servings together in one total.
Questions
How many calories are in 1 missi roti?
About 144 kcal for 1 missi roti, taken as 55 g (atta and besan mix, lightly oiled). Two come to roughly 287 kcal and three to 431 kcal. Per 100 g, missi roti carries 261 kcal.
How much protein is in missi roti?
9.5 g per 100 g, which works out to 5.2 g in 1 missi roti. That is 15% of the energy in this food, and ranks 2nd of 20 in the breads & rotis group on this site.
Is missi roti good for weight loss?
At 261 kcal per 100 g it is energy-dense, so the portion decides everything. Protein is moderate, so pair it with dal, curd or a non-veg side to stay full. 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 atta and besan mix, lightly oiled. A restaurant version can be 30 to 60% higher.

Where this number comes from
Recipe analysis from sourced ingredients. Carbohydrate is available carbohydrate — dietary fibre excluded and listed separately.
Recipe and finished weight: 25 g atta and 12 g besan, lightly oiled with about 3 g on the tawa. Finished weight 55 g, one roti.
Confidence in the quantities: medium. There is a real assumption here about how much of something went in, but it sits inside a narrow normal range.
Source row: IFCT 2017 A019, Wheat flour, atta; IFCT 2017 B001, Bengal gram, dal. Energy on this row is the Atwater sum of the ingredients above, not an independent measurement, so it reconciles by construction — that is a property of the method and not evidence that the quantities are right. The ingredient weights are this site's assumption; the table rows behind each ingredient are not. Cooking fat is the largest single assumption here and is stated in the recipe rather than buried in the total.
Every food on this site carries this label. What each one means, and how many foods sit behind each, is set out on the method page.
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.
