Chicken momos (steamed)

One serving of Chicken momos (steamed) — 8 pieces — comes to 394 kcal, 26 g protein, 50 g carbs and 10 g fat. Scaled to 100 g it works out to 164 kcal and 10.8 g protein, which makes it a moderate protein source for a street food item. That single serving is about 26.3% of a 1,500 kcal day and 19.7% of a 2,000 kcal day, so it can carry real weight in a protein-focused plan without much extra planning.

Walking off Chicken momos (steamed) takes roughly 9,850 steps, using the rough approximation of 0.04 kcal burned per step (a population-average estimate for a moderate walking pace, not a personalised number). At ₹100 a serving it costs about ₹76.9 for every 20 g of protein it delivers, which is a mid-to-high price for protein compared with dal, eggs or soya chunks. It fits a non-vegetarian diet. It's typically eaten at the evening snack slot. It's a genuinely high-protein choice for its calories.

If you want variety without changing the macros much, the closest swaps in the street food category are Aloo tikki chaat, Bread pakora (aloo), Chicken kathi roll, Chole bhature — each keeps a similar role on the plate while shifting the exact protein-to-carb balance a little.
