How Many Calories Are in 100g of Atta? - #9414
I’ve been trying to watch my calorie intake recently to manage my weight better, and I’ve realized how important it is to know the nutritional value of everything I eat. One of the staples in my diet is roti made from wheat flour (atta), but I’m not sure how many calories are in 100g of atta. I use regular whole wheat atta to make rotis every day, and I usually have 3–4 of them with my meals. I’ve heard that atta is a healthy carb source, but I’m trying to figure out how many calories I’m consuming from it alone. Is 100g of atta enough to make 5–6 medium-sized rotis, or does it vary depending on how thick or thin they are? I’ve read online that the calorie content of atta can vary depending on whether it’s whole wheat, multigrain, or processed. I mostly use whole wheat atta, but sometimes I mix it with multigrain flour for added nutrition. Does this combination affect the calorie count? And how much would the calories differ if I switch to bajra or jowar flour instead of wheat atta? Another thing I’m curious about is whether the way atta is cooked changes its calorie content. For example, if I make plain rotis versus parathas (using ghee or oil), how much does that affect the calories? I’m also wondering about the nutritional differences when atta is used for baking instead of making flatbreads. I’ve started tracking my meals, and it would really help if I knew the exact calorie count for 100g of atta. Does anyone know if there’s a standard number, or does it vary by brand or quality? I’ve seen some atta packets with nutritional labels, but the values differ, and I’m not sure which one to trust. For context, I’m trying to lose about 5–7 kgs and am balancing my diet with regular exercise. I don’t want to cut out rotis completely because they’re such an integral part of my meals, but I need to know how much atta I should use per day to stay within my calorie limits. If anyone has done calorie tracking for atta, I’d love to know your tips. How do you measure the atta you use, and how do you account for additional ingredients like ghee or oil? Are there any low-calorie alternatives to wheat atta that still taste good? I’d appreciate any advice on managing calories while still enjoying my daily rotis. Thanks in advance!
