What changes the number
Brown bread has roughly double the fibre of white and about 8% fewer calories — a real but modest improvement, and far smaller than the marketing implies. The bigger caution is Indian labelling: a loaf sold as "brown bread" is often refined flour with caramel colour, so check that whole wheat atta is the first ingredient rather than the fourth. If it does not list whole wheat first, you are paying more for white bread.

Cross-checked against USDA FoodData Central (Bread, whole-wheat, commercially prepared), which gives 252 kcal per 100 g — a 2.9% difference.
Home recipes vary, especially in oil and ghee.
