Calories in 2 नान

The short answer

2 naans, weighed

515kcal 2 naans — 180 g in total — comes to about 515 calories, with 14.6 g protein, 93.2 g carbohydrate and 9.0 g fat.

Serving assumed: 1 plain naan ≈ 90 g — refined flour, tandoor-baked, no butter brushed on top. Change the portion and every number below changes with it.

From a table row to one naan

Read the per-100 g row for plain naan 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 286 kcal आणि 8.1 g protein per 100 g.
Weigh what is actually served. This site enters 1 plain naan at 90 g (refined flour, tandoor-baked, no butter brushed on top). 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: 286 × 90 ÷ 100 = 257 kcal per naan. Nothing is rounded up, adjusted or smoothed — two naans 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.

per naan   =  per 100 g  ×  serving grams ÷ 100
Plain Naan         =    286 kcal ×   90 g ÷ 100  =  257 kcal
energy check       =  4P + 4C + 9F  ±15%  (±20% if fibre ≥ 6 g)

What it takes to burn off 2 naans

Minutes of activity for a 70 kg adult to spend 515 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.

प्रश्न

How many calories are in 2 naans?

About 515 kcal, taking one naan as 90 g (refined flour, tandoor-baked, no butter brushed on top). That is 14.6 g protein, 93.2 g carbohydrate and 9.0 g fat across 180 g of food.

Is 2 naans too much?

It depends entirely on the rest of the day. 515 kcal is roughly 26% of a 2,000 kcal day and 32% of a 1,600 kcal day. The honest answer is that 2 naans rarely makes a meal on its own — what goes with it usually decides the total.

How long does it take to burn off 2 naans?

Roughly 120 minutes of easy walking, 98 minutes of brisk walking or 43 minutes of running for a 70 kg adult. Useful for scale — not a licence, since appetite rises with activity.

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.
