The first step to healthy weight loss is educating yourself in the calorie counts of various foods .
I'm gonna start with a few basic calorie counts of certain foods that are consumed daily and others can add to the list.
Breads :
1 medium chappati................119
1 slice of white bread..............60
1 paratha (no filling )..............280
100gm Naan bread................336
Milk products :
1 cup skimmed milk..................45
240ml full cream milk...............150
100gms butter.......................750
100gms cream........................210
100 gms Ghee........................910
Misc.
1 tbsp sugar...........................48
1 tsp honey............................90
Desi Foods :
1 Vegetable Pakora ( 1 oz.) ...33
1 Aloo Samosa......................156
1 Falafel ( 2 1/4 " diameter)...57
100gms Chicken Curry..........132
100gm Chicken Korma..........166
100gm Chicken Tikka.............155
300gm Chicken Biryani.........410
100 gm Chicken Kabab..........150
These are rough estimates as various sites quote different counts however its to give you an idea of the basic calorie range so you can do a quick mental count when eating .
So part of the Challenge is to make people aware of the calories they are consuming and many times we under-estimate the calorie counts especially since most of our traditional foods and snacks are fried.
