Indian Food Calorie Database — 200+ Foods with Protein, Carbs & Fat

SuccessMate's Indian food calorie database covers 200+ commonly eaten Indian foods across all meal types — South Indian breakfast (idli, dosa, upma, uttapam), North Indian meals (roti, paratha, dal makhani, paneer butter masala), rice dishes (biryani, pulao, curd rice), snacks (samosa, pakora, vada), sweets (gulab jamun, jalebi, kheer), fruits, beverages, and street food. Each entry shows calories, protein, carbohydrates and fat per standard serving size, making it easy to track your nutrition whether you are managing weight, building muscle, or simply eating healthier.

Why Track Indian Food Calories?

Indian cuisine is naturally high in carbohydrates and low in protein compared to Western diets. A typical Indian meal of 2 rotis + dal + sabzi = approximately 400–500 calories with only 12–15g protein. Understanding your food's calorie content helps you make informed choices — adding an egg (70 kcal, 6g protein) or a cup of curd (100 kcal, 6g protein) can significantly improve protein intake without excessive calories. This tool helps users in India, UK, USA, Canada, Australia, UAE and Germany track their Indian food intake accurately.
