Cheese naan calories and macros

One cheese naan (about 100 g) has roughly 380 calories, with about 12.5 g protein, 46 g carbohydrate, and 16 g fat. Cheese naan is the heaviest member of the naan family: a plain naan stuffed with melted cheese, usually mozzarella or a processed blend, and often brushed with butter on top too. The cheese adds a large amount of fat and a bump of protein, which is why cheese naan carries far more calories and fat than a plain, butter, or garlic naan. Underneath is the same refined-flour naan, but the cheese filling roughly adds a third again on top of a plain naan's calories. A lighter cheese naan with less cheese is near 340, while a generously stuffed and buttered one crosses 430. It is firmly a treat bread, closer to a small meal than a side. For tracking, cheese naan is the one to be most careful with in the bread basket: a single piece can rival a whole light curry in calories.
