Is paneer paratha good for a gym diet?
It has some protein (3 g per 100 calories), but not enough to lean on. Pair it with dal, paneer or curd to fill the gap.
Most of its calories come from fat (50%), then carbs (37%) and protein (12%).
A gym meal usually aims for 25 g of protein or more, depending on your daily target. From this alone, that's 3.5 parathas (about 820 calories). The same 25 g from soya chunks is about 170 calories.
What's in it
Made with whole wheat flour (atta), green chillies, onions and paneer, plus spices and cooking oil or ghee. Each extra teaspoon of oil or ghee adds about 44 calories, which is where home and restaurant versions differ most.
