Serving assumed: 1 medium aloo paratha ≈ 110 g — whole wheat, potato stuffing, cooked with about 1 teaspoon of oil. Change the portion and every number below changes with it.
From a table row to one paratha
- Read the per-100 g row for aloo paratha 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 190 kcal ਅਤੇ 4.1 g protein per 100 g.
- Weigh what is actually served. This site enters 1 medium aloo paratha at 110 g (whole wheat, potato stuffing, cooked with about 1 teaspoon of oil). 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: 190 × 110 ÷ 100 = 209 kcal per paratha. Nothing is rounded up, adjusted or smoothed — two parathas 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.

What it takes to burn off 2 parathas
Minutes of activity for a 70 kg adult to spend 418 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.

ਸਵਾਲ
How many calories are in 2 parathas?
About 418 kcal, taking one paratha as 110 g (whole wheat, potato stuffing, cooked with about 1 teaspoon of oil). That is 9.0 g protein, 61.2 g carbohydrate and 15.2 g fat across 220 g of food.
Is 2 parathas too much?
It depends entirely on the rest of the day. 418 kcal is roughly 21% of a 2,000 kcal day and 26% of a 1,600 kcal day. The honest answer is that 2 parathas rarely makes a meal on its own — what goes with it usually decides the total.
How long does it take to burn off 2 parathas?
Roughly 97 minutes of easy walking, 79 minutes of brisk walking or 35 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.
