How Many Calories Are In Atta? - #9822

As someone who’s trying to manage weight and eat healthier, I’ve been wondering how many calories are in atta, especially since it’s a staple in my diet. I eat chapatis and parathas almost every day, but I don’t have a clear idea of how they fit into my calorie count. I’d like to know more about atta’s nutritional profile and how it compares to other types of flour. From what I understand, atta is mainly made from whole wheat, which is supposed to be high in fiber and good for digestion. But does the calorie count change based on the type of atta? I’ve seen a lot of options in stores lately—whole wheat, multigrain, and even fortified atta with added nutrients. Are there significant differences in their calorie content or health benefits? Another thing I’d like to understand is how cooking affects atta’s calories. For example, when I use 100 grams of atta to make two chapatis, does the calorie count remain the same? What about when I make parathas or puris using oil or ghee—how much does that increase the calorie count? I’m trying to find a balance between enjoying traditional dishes and sticking to my calorie goals. I’ve also been reading about gluten and how it affects digestion. Is atta naturally high in gluten, and does that impact its calorie content or its suitability for people with gluten sensitivity? Are there any gluten-free alternatives to atta that are lower in calories but still work for making chapatis? Lastly, I’d love to know if atta is the best choice for someone trying to lose weight or manage blood sugar levels. I’ve read that whole wheat atta has a lower glycemic index compared to refined flours, but is that enough to make it a healthy choice? Should I consider replacing it with flours like jowar, bajra, or ragi for a more balanced diet? If anyone has insights into the calorie content of atta and its role in a healthy diet, I’d appreciate your advice. I’m particularly interested in tips for preparing traditional dishes in a way that keeps them nutritious without adding unnecessary calories.
