Methi Thepla calories
per thepla, not per 100 g
The short answer
One thepla, weighed
120kcal 1 thepla — taken as 40 g — has about 120 calories, with 3.0 g protein, 15.2 g carbohydrate and 5.2 g fat. Two come to 240 kcal, three to 360 kcal.
Per 100 g, methi thepla carries 300 kcal మరియు 7.5 g protein.

Serving assumed: 1 thepla ≈ 40 g — gujarati style with oil in the dough and on the tawa. Change the portion and every number below changes with it.

From a table row to one thepla
- Read the per-100 g row for methi thepla 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 300 kcal మరియు 7.5 g protein per 100 g.
- Weigh what is actually served. This site enters 1 thepla at 40 g (gujarati style with oil in the dough and on the tawa). 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: 300 × 40 ÷ 100 = 120 kcal per thepla. Nothing is rounded up, adjusted or smoothed — two theplas 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.

Methi Thepla, entered by the portion
The kitchen ledger: one thepla at 40 g, then two, then three. Every row is the row above multiplied — nothing is rounded up or quietly adjusted.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 thepla | 40 g | 120 kcal | 3.0 g | 15.2 g | 5.2 g | 2.2 g |
| 2 theplas | 80 g | 240 kcal | 6.0 g | 30.4 g | 10.4 g | 4.4 g |

Kept in kilocalories — the "calories" printed on a packet. Carbohydrate is available carbohydrate. Fibre is entered on its own line and is counted in neither the carbohydrate column nor the energy figure.
The 100 g column, kept for the record
Because every other site quotes it, and because you should be able to check our arithmetic against theirs.
| Nutrient | Per 100 g | Per 1 thepla (40 g) |
|---|---|---|
| Energy | 300 kcal | 120 kcal |
| Protein | 7.5 g | 3.0 g |
| Carbohydrate (available) | 38.0 g | 15.2 g |
| Fat | 13.0 g | 5.2 g |
| Dietary fibre | 5.5 g | 2.2 g |

What it takes to burn off 1 thepla of methi thepla
Minutes of activity for a 70 kg adult to spend 120 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.
మూలం·2024 Adult Compendium of Physical Activities·MET × 3.5 × 70 kg ÷ 200·జూలై 2026న సమీక్షించాం
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 methi thepla sits in an Indian plate
Among the 20 breads & rotis entries on this site, methi thepla ranks ప్రొటీన్కు 9వ (7.5 g per 100 g) and శక్తి సాంద్రతకు 5వ (300 kcal per 100 g). The protein leader in the group is paneer paratha at 10.2 g.
Protein supplies only 10% of its energy, so treat it as an energy food rather than a protein food. Fibre is genuinely high at 5.5 g per 100 g.
A realistic day matters more than any single dish. If you are building a meal, the thali builder adds several foods and their real servings together in one total.
ప్రశ్నలు
How many calories are in 1 thepla?
About 120 kcal for 1 thepla, taken as 40 g (gujarati style with oil in the dough and on the tawa). Two come to roughly 240 kcal and three to 360 kcal. Per 100 g, methi thepla carries 300 kcal.
How much protein is in methi thepla?
7.5 g per 100 g, which works out to 3.0 g in 1 thepla. That is 10% of the energy in this food, and ranks 9th of 20 in the breads & rotis group on this site.
Is methi thepla good for weight loss?
100 gకి 300 kcal ఉంది కాబట్టి ఇందులో శక్తి సాంద్రత ఎక్కువ, అందుకే పరిమాణమే అన్నీ నిర్ణయిస్తుంది. ప్రోటీన్ తక్కువ, కాబట్టి దీన్ని ఒక్కదాన్నే కాకుండా ఒక ప్రోటీన్ మూలంతో కలిపి తినండి. ఏ ఒక్క ఆహారమూ డైట్ను నిలబెట్టదు, పాడుచేయదు; ఆ రోజు మొత్తమే ముఖ్యం.
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 gujarati style with oil in the dough and on the tawa. A restaurant version can be 30 to 60% higher.
Similar foods
Four more from breads & rotis, and three from elsewhere with a similar energy density.

Every food on this site carries this label. What each one means, and how many foods sit behind each, is set out on the method page.
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.
