How much protein is in soya chunk curry?
11.0 g per 100 g, which works out to 16.5 g in 1 katori. That is 34% of the energy in this food, and ranks 5th of 28 in the paneer & vegetable curries group on this site.
Is soya chunk curry good for weight loss?
At 130 kcal per 100 g it is on the lighter side, so portion size is forgiving. The protein share is high enough to be genuinely filling. 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 textured soya nuggets in onion-tomato gravy. A restaurant version can be 30 to 60% higher.
