Calories in Chana Chaat
A regular bowl of chana chaat (about 200 g) has roughly 280-300 calories, or around 145 calories per 100 g. Made mainly from boiled chickpeas with onion, tomato and spices, it is one of the lighter desi snacks — but add-ons like fried papri, sev, sweetened yogurt or oily dressings can push a bowl well past 400 calories.

FAQ
Still Wondering About SlimAI
Yes — plain chana chaat is high in fiber and plant protein for its calories, which makes it filling and easy to fit into a calorie-deficit routine. Keep fried toppings and sweet chutneys light to hold a bowl near the 300-calorie mark.
Fried papri or sev, potatoes, sweetened tamarind chutney and full-fat or sweetened yogurt are the main contributors. A loaded street-style chaat can carry 150-200 more calories than a simple chickpea, onion and tomato version.
Roughly 7 g of protein and 6 g of fiber per 100 g, so a 200 g bowl delivers about 14 g of protein and 12 g of fiber. That combination is why it keeps you full longer than most fried snacks with similar calories.
Take a quick photo with SlimAI's camera scan, log it by voice, or search "chana chaat" and pick your bowl size. If your chaat has extras like papri or yogurt, add them so the entry reflects the real bowl.
