Bread, paratha calories: 228 per 1 paratha (70 g)

This exact USDA record reports 228 calories for 1 paratha (70 g). That answer belongs to this description and weight; it is not a universal value for every meal that shares the name.

The editorial read

The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity

Portion: the cited record reports about 228 calories for 1 paratha at 70 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 326 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.

Composition: that source amount also reports 4.5 g protein, 6.7 g fiber, and 316 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.

Identity: the largest listed formulation input is bread, paratha, whole wheat, commercially prepared, frozen, representing 100% of the record’s listed input weight. These are provenance for a standardized calculation, not a recipe for your plate.

The source calls its underlying survey portion “Quantity not specified,” but it separately lists 1 paratha at the identical weight. We use the familiar household label here without changing the source calculation.

Record-specific decision brief

What the numbers say—and what choice still belongs to you

This analysis belongs to USDA FDC 2707715: “Bread, paratha.” It separates gram-weight arithmetic, corpus context, label signals, and record selection so one number does not have to answer four different questions.

01 · Portion arithmetic

Three weights, one fixed composition

For FDC 2707715, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “75% of the reference weight” through “125% of the reference weight” are weight scenarios: named measures come from USDA, while percentage labels are transparent arithmetic.

02 · Fixed-weight context

Where 100 grams sits inside Yeast breads

The comparison set contains 104 exact records in the Yeast breads USDA category. Here, “upper quarter” describes FDC 2707715’s energy position in that corpus—not nutritional quality, desirability, or a health rating.

03 · FDA label lens

The strongest strength-side and tradeoff-side signals

At FDC 2707715’s 70 g reference weight, the largest strength-side percentage among the nutrients evaluated here is Dietary fiber; the larger tradeoff-side percentage is Saturated fat. Percentages use FDA label Daily Values, whose general “high” guide begins at 20% Daily Value. This is not an overall score or a personalized target.

Strength-side signals

Dietary fiber6.7 g

≈ 24% DV. This crosses the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.

04 · Highest-impact checks

The three levers most worth resolving first

For “Bread, paratha,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2707598 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.

  1. 01

    Portion sensitivity around 70 g

    A 25% weight move in either direction spans 52.5–87.5 g. When composition is held constant, those endpoints calculate to 171 kcal and 285 kcal.

  2. 02

    Record choice: compare with FDC 2707598

    At an equal 100 g, this record has 7.3 g more dietary fiber than “Bread, white.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.

  3. 03

    Single listed source: Bread, paratha, whole wheat, commercially prepared, frozen

    USDA derives this record from one listed source-input row at 100 g. Real preparations can still differ in water, cooking state, brand, and served weight.

05 · Exact-record choice

Select by literal evidence, not the shortest name

Keep this record when “paratha” fits. Inspect FDC 2707598 when “white” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

Inside the source record

Source formulation behind this USDA record

USDA links FDC 2707715 to one source input totaling 100 g in its standardized formulation. Publishing that exact provenance makes “Bread, paratha” inspectable beside similarly named records.

How to read this

A single-source formulation

Bread, paratha, whole wheat, commercially prepared, frozen is the only listed source input for this record. That does not mean every real-world version is identical; brands, preparation, water content, and portion weight can still differ.

100 g total listed input weight across the formulation.

Use this formulation to choose a closer record—not to reverse-engineer a recipe. If your meal adds, removes, or substantially changes one of these components, another source entry or a photo-based estimate may fit better.

Exact-record context

What makes this USDA record distinct?

For FDC 2707715, the close-record rule searches the USDA “Yeast breads” category for shared description terms or source inputs. Any surviving pair is compared per 100 grams, so unlike source-serving sizes cannot manufacture the nutrient difference.

Plain-English read

At the fixed 100-gram basis, this record lists 59 more calories, 3.1 g less protein, and 9.6 g more total fat than “Bread, white.”

Only this record lists Bread, paratha, whole wheat, commercially prepared, frozen. Only the comparison record lists Bread, white, commercially prepared. Those formulation rows identify different source records; they do not prove which input caused a nutrient difference.

4 of the six displayed differences clear the documented materiality screen. It is a reading aid, not a health rating.

Formulation evidence

The listed formulations differ

The formulation rows differ, but the source data do not isolate which component caused any nutrient difference. Input weights describe the standardized formulation—not final plated proportions.

Listed only in this record: Bread, paratha, whole wheat, commercially prepared, frozen.

Listed only in the comparison: Bread, white, commercially prepared.

Portion evidence

The listed portion sets differ

This record’s reference amount is 70 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 paratha (70 g).

The comparison record’s reference amount is 28 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 medium or regular slice (28 g).

Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2707715 with FDC 2707598 at equal mass; use their 70 g and 28 g source amounts only for portion matching.

Evidence boundary: FDC 2707715 versus FDC 2707598 is a comparison of standardized source records—not a measurement of your meal, an overall food-quality rank, or proof that one input caused a difference.

Uncertainty, made actionable

What can change this estimate?

This is a standardized USDA survey-food profile, not a measurement of every preparation. Actual nutrition can change with item size, recipe or brand, moisture and density, spreads or toppings.

For “Bread, paratha,” resolve item size first, then move through the remaining 3 published levers. Unknowns should remain visible rather than expanding every assumption at once.

  1. 01

    item size

    When composition is held constant, nutrient totals scale directly with grams. A 20% weight correction produces the same 20% correction to the scaled totals.

  2. 02

    recipe or brand

    Prefer a package, menu, or known recipe when it identifies the food more precisely. Otherwise preserve the generic record as an explicit approximation.

  3. 03

    moisture and density

    Match the food state before matching the number. Cooking, draining, or added liquid can change grams and concentration even when the food name barely changes.

  4. 04

    spreads or toppings

    Check whether the exact source description already includes it. If not, keep the addition separate rather than silently folding it into the base record.

How we estimated this

The arithmetic is simple; the provenance is the point

FDC 2707715 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 326 kcal per 100 g becomes 228 kcal at 70 g through nutrient per portion = nutrient per 100 g × portion grams ÷ 100; this page adds no second nutrition estimate.

About the serving label: USDA describes the underlying survey portion as “Quantity not specified.” The separately listed 1 paratha has the same gram weight, so the familiar label can be shown without changing the calculation.

Data cycle: 2021–2023, published October 31, 2024

FoodData Central ID: 2707715

FNDDS food code: 51300185

The scaling for FDC 2707715 can be exact while the match to “Bread, paratha” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 70 g weight, 1-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
