What changes the number
A naan is about 285 kcal against roughly 105 for a home phulka — not because naan is exotic, but because it is larger, made with refined flour, and usually enriched with milk or yoghurt before butter is brushed on top. Butter naan and garlic naan add another 50–80 kcal of fat. Nothing here argues against ordering one; it argues against treating naan and roti as interchangeable when you are estimating a restaurant meal, because two naans are closer to five rotis.

Where this number comes from
Primary source: MetaFit Indian Curated v1.0, entry naan — the same dataset the MetaFit app logs against. Checked by MetaFit Nutrition Team on 2026-09-22.
Cross-checked against USDA FoodData Central (Bread, naan), which gives 311 kcal per 100 g — effectively the same figure.
Home recipes vary, especially in oil and ghee.
