Rajma Protein per 100g: Full Macro Breakdown

Rajma-chawal is a staple across North India, and while it's often treated as a "protein-rich" meal by default, the actual numbers are worth knowing precisely if you're tracking macros.

Is Rajma a "High-Protein" Food?

Rajma is a decent protein contributor but isn't in the same tier as paneer, soya, or eggs on a per-100g basis. Its real strength is the combination of protein and fiber together, along with being naturally fat-free — a well-rounded macro profile even if the protein number alone isn't exceptional.

How Rajma-Chawal Adds Up

A typical serving of rajma-chawal — roughly 200g cooked rajma with 150g cooked rice — provides around 16-18g of protein and 60-65g of carbohydrates, making it a carb-forward meal that needs a protein top-up (a side of curd, or a boiled egg) if you're targeting a higher-protein day.

Rajma vs Chana vs Toor Dal

Most cooked legumes, including rajma, chana, and toor dal, sit in a fairly tight 7-9g protein per 100g range — rajma isn't a standout in this specific group, despite its reputation as a "protein food" in casual conversation.

The Bottom Line

Rajma is a solid, fiber-rich, low-fat component of a balanced meal, but treat it as a supporting protein source rather than your main one — pair it with a denser protein like paneer, curd, or egg if rajma-chawal is your primary meal for the day.
