Assumed: 1 cup of flour ≈ 120 g — raw flour, before anything is added to it — buckwheat is not wheat and not a cereal at all.
Kuttu ka Atta (Buckwheat Flour) by portion
Everything scales linearly from the 120 g serving. If your portion is bigger, so is the number.
| Portion | Grams | Calories | Protein | Carbs | Fat | Fibre |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 × 1 cup of flour | 120 g | 402 kcal | 15.1 g | 72.7 g | 3.7 g | 12.0 g |
| 2 × 1 cup of flour | 240 g | 804 kcal | 30.2 g | 145.4 g | 7.4 g | 24.0 g |
| 3 × 1 cup of flour | 360 g | 1,206 kcal | 45.4 g | 218.2 g | 11.2 g | 36.0 g |
| Per 100 g | 100 g | 335 kcal | 12.6 g | 60.6 g | 3.1 g | 10.0 g |
Carbohydrate is available carbohydrate; fibre is listed separately and is in neither the carbohydrate column nor the energy figure. Energy is reconciled against 4P + 4C + 9F on every build.

Read this with it: IFCT 2017 has no buckwheat entry at all, so an Indian table cannot be cited for this one. USDA reports carbohydrate by difference at 70.6 g; the fibre has been taken out of it here to give available carbohydrate, which is the convention this whole site uses. Before July 2026 this row carried 69 g of carbohydrate, which was the by-difference figure presented as if it were available carbohydrate.
How kuttu ka atta (buckwheat flour) is counted here
- The serving is the portion this food is actually eaten in — 1 cup of flour, taken as 120 g — not an anonymous 100 g.
- Composition is read off a named row: USDA FoodData Central, SR Legacy (FDC ID 170687, Buckwheat flour, whole-groat), and the label on that row is printed above rather than hidden.
- Carbohydrate is available carbohydrate. Where a source publishes carbohydrate by difference, the fibre is subtracted here and the subtraction is stated.
- Energy is reconciled against Atwater factors on every build; a value that disagrees with its own macros does not ship.
serving kcal = 335 kcal/100 g × (120 g ÷ 100) = 402 kcal check = 4·P + 4·C + 9·F (±15%, ±20% high-fibre)

Where it sits on a fasting plate
Among the 11 entries in vrat flours & grains on this site, kuttu ka atta (buckwheat flour) ranks 7 of 11 for energy density at 335 kcal per 100 g.
Protein supplies 15% of its energy. That is respectable for the permitted list, but a whole day built on foods like this will still run short — see protein during a vrat.
It is energy-dense enough that a small portion carries a lot, which is easy to miss when it is eaten by the handful through a fasting day.
Questions
Is kuttu ka atta (buckwheat flour) eaten during a vrat?
It is commonly eaten during a phalahar vrat in most households. Customs differ by family, region and community — this describes what is usual, not what is required. On this site it appears in the food list for Sharad Navratri.
How many calories are in 1 cup of flour of kuttu ka atta (buckwheat flour)?
About 402 kcal for 1 cup of flour, taken as 120 g (raw flour, before anything is added to it — buckwheat is not wheat and not a cereal at all). That is 15.1 g protein, 72.7 g carbohydrate and 3.7 g fat. Per 100 g it carries 335 kcal.
Is kuttu ka atta (buckwheat flour) filling, or just energy?
Protein supplies about 15% of its energy, which is moderate. Pair it with curd, milk or nuts where your observance permits. Fibre is high at 10.0 g per 100 g. On a vrat that matters more than usual, because so much of the permitted food list is rapidly digested starch.

Practices are described as commonly observed; customs differ by family, region, community and sampradaya, and this site is not an authority on any of them. Food values come from the Indian Food Composition Tables 2017 (ICMR–NIN), the older ICMR–NIN tables, USDA FoodData Central, named composition studies and the shared ThaliFacts dataset, reconciled against Atwater factors on every build. Which source applies to which food is listed per food, and every source carries the date it was last checked. General information only — not medical or religious guidance. Fasting is not safe for everyone, particularly during pregnancy or with diabetes or other conditions. Speak to a doctor first.
