| Half naan | 130–180 kcal | Small side portion |

Weight Loss Best Practices
For weight loss, the most important factor is total daily calories. You do not need to completely avoid Naan, but portion control matters. If one meal is heavy, keep the next meal lighter with protein, salad, yogurt, lentils, vegetables or controlled roti/rice. Sweet drinks, extra oil, fried sides and large portions can increase calories quickly.
Muscle Gain and Active Lifestyle
If you follow gym, walking or an active routine, both carbs and protein can be useful. To improve meal quality, add a protein source such as chicken, eggs, fish, lentils, chickpeas, yogurt or milk. On training days, keeping carbs around workouts is practical, but fried or oily extras should still be limited.
Smart Comparison
Naan vs roti: naan is usually higher in calories because it is bigger, thicker and often made with refined flour. Roti is easier to control for daily weight loss meals.
