Minutes of activity for a 70 kg adult to spend 151 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 rumali roti sits in an Indian plate

Is rumali roti good for weight loss?
At 275 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 thin refined-flour roti cooked on an inverted tawa. A restaurant version can be 30 to 60% higher.
