Plain paratha (with oil/ghee)

One serving of Plain paratha (with oil/ghee) — 1 paratha — comes to 207 kcal, 3.6 g protein, 21.5 g carbs and 11.8 g fat. Scaled to 100 g it works out to 296 kcal and 5.1 g protein, which makes it not a meaningful protein source on its own for a grain & staple item. That single serving is about 13.8% of a 1,500 kcal day and 10.4% of a 2,000 kcal day, so it's more of a filler than a target-hitter on protein without much extra planning.

Walking off Plain paratha (with oil/ghee) takes roughly 5,175 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 ₹6 a serving it costs about ₹33.3 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 nearly every Indian diet type, including vegetarian, Jain, eggetarian. It works at breakfast, lunch and dinner. It's a daily staple in most Indian kitchens and a common tiffin-box item.

If you want variety without changing the macros much, the closest swaps in the grain & staple category are Appam, Bajra roti (pearl millet), Brown / whole wheat bread, White bread — each keeps a similar role on the plate while shifting the exact protein-to-carb balance a little.
