What it takes to burn off 1 paneer paratha of paneer paratha
Minutes of activity for a 70 kg adult to spend 318 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.
Calculated as MET × 3.5 × 70 kg ÷ 200 kcal per minute. Full working on the method page, and the whole activity dataset at BurnLab.
Where paneer paratha sits in an Indian plate
Among the 20 breads & rotis entries on this site, paneer paratha ranks 1st for protein (9.0 g per 100 g) and 13th for energy density (265 kcal per 100 g). Nothing else in the group carries more protein per 100 g.
Protein supplies 14% 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 moderate at 3.2 g per 100 g.

Questions
How many calories are in 1 paneer paratha?
About 318 kcal for 1 paneer paratha, taken as 120 g (whole wheat with paneer stuffing, cooked in 1 teaspoon of oil). Two come to roughly 636 kcal and three to 954 kcal. Per 100 g, paneer paratha carries 265 kcal.

9.0 g per 100 g, which works out to 10.8 g in 1 paneer paratha. That is 14% of the energy in this food, and ranks 1st of 20 in the breads & rotis group on this site.
Is paneer paratha good for weight loss?
At 265 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 whole wheat with paneer stuffing, cooked in 1 teaspoon of oil. A restaurant version can be 30 to 60% higher.
