Indian Street Food Calorie Guide

Calorie and macro estimates for pani puri, vada pav, chaat, rolls and momos, with plate totals and share of your daily target.

The Indian Street Food Calorie Guide estimates the calories, protein, carbohydrate and fat in a plate of pani puri, vada pav, chaat, rolls, momos and other vendor food, using typical street portions rather than packet weights. Energy is reconciled against the Atwater factors of 4 kcal per gram of protein and carbohydrate and 9 kcal per gram of fat, and every total is shown with a plus or minus 20% band because street cooking has no fixed recipe. Useful for anyone tracking intake who eats out but cannot find these dishes in a Western calorie app.

Why use Indian Street Food Calorie Guide

• Real street portions

  Servings match what a vendor hands over — six puris, one plate, one glass — not an arbitrary 100 g.

• Macros that add up

  Protein, carbohydrate and fat reconcile to the calorie figure using the standard Atwater factors.

• Honest uncertainty

  Every total carries a 20% band, because oil absorption and butter vary hugely between stalls.

Common use cases

• Check what a vada pav and two cups of sweet chai adds up to before deciding on dinner.
• Compare steamed momos against fried momos when ordering the same six pieces.
• See how a chole bhature plate uses up 40% of a 2,000 kcal day in one sitting.
• Estimate the protein in a chicken kathi roll when planning a post-gym meal.
