Quick answer: One standard Maggi packet (70g dry, about 200g cooked) has 285 kcal, 5.3g protein, 40g carbs, 13g fat, and about 970mg sodium. Two packets have 570 kcal. A ₹10 mini pack has about 185 kcal and a ₹12 pack about 228 kcal. Adding one egg takes it to about 355 kcal.
| Maggi serving | Calories | Protein |
|---|---|---|
| ½ packet (35g dry) | 143 kcal | 2.7g |
| 1 packet (70g dry) | 285 kcal | 5.3g |
| 2 packets | 570 kcal | 10.6g |
| 3 packets | 855 kcal | 15.9g |
| ₹10 pack (about 46g) | ~185 kcal | ~3.5g |
| ₹12 pack (about 56g) | ~228 kcal | ~4.3g |
| ₹14–₹15 pack (about 70g) | ~285 kcal | ~5.3g |
| 1 packet + 1 egg | ~355 kcal | ~11.3g |
| 1 packet + 100g vegetables | ~315 kcal | |
| 100g cooked Maggi | 142 kcal | 2.65g |
| 100g dry Maggi | 405 kcal | 7.6g |

1 standard Maggi packet (70g dry, about 200g cooked) = 285 calories. A small ₹10–₹12 pack weighs less, about 46–56g dry, and gives about 185–228 calories cooked plain. Calories rise when you add oil, butter, egg, or vegetables.
| Maggi quantity | Calories (kcal) |
|---|---|
| 100g cooked Maggi | 142 kcal |
| 1 standard packet (70g dry / ~200g cooked) | 285 kcal |
| 300g cooked Maggi | 427 kcal |
| 100g dry Maggi | 405 kcal |
Dry vs cooked weight: Calories per 100g look very different for dry (405 kcal) and cooked (142 kcal) Maggi because cooking adds water. The packet total is the same either way. If a pack says 70g, that is the dry weight, and the whole packet is 285 kcal.
Maggi packs in India are sold at different prices and sizes. Here are the calories in each:
| Maggi pack | Weight (dry) | Calories | Protein | Carbs | Sodium |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ₹10 Maggi (mini) | ~46g | ~185 kcal | ~3.5g | ~26g | ~640mg |
| ₹12 Maggi (small pack) | ~56g | ~228 kcal | ~4.3g | ~32g | ~785mg |
| ₹14–₹15 Maggi (standard pack) | ~70g | ~285 kcal | ~5.3g | ~40g | ~970mg |
| ₹20 Maggi (medium pack) | ~100g | ~405 kcal | ~7.6g | ~57g | ~1,385mg |
| ₹30 Maggi (large pack) | ~140g | ~570 kcal | ~10.6g | ~80g | ~1,940mg |
Pack weights change with region and over time. Check the weight printed on your pack and use this rule: about 4.07 kcal per gram of dry Maggi (285 kcal ÷ 70g). A 56g pack is about 228 kcal; a 46g pack is about 187 kcal.
A ₹10 Maggi pack (about 46g dry) has about 185 kcal, 3.5g protein, 26g carbs, and about 640mg sodium.
A ₹12 Maggi pack (about 56g dry) has about 228 kcal, 4.3g protein, 32g carbs, 10.5g fat, and about 785mg sodium.
A ₹14–₹15 Maggi pack (about 70g dry) has about 285 kcal, 5.3g protein, 40g carbs, 13g fat and about 970mg sodium. This is the standard pack used for most of the figures on this page.
1 packet of Maggi (70g dry) = 285 kcal, 5.3g protein, 40g carbs, 13g fat, 970mg sodium.
| Number of packets | Calories | Protein | Carbs | Fat |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Half packet | 143 kcal | 2.7g | 20g | 6.5g |
| 1 packet | 285 kcal | 5.3g | 40g | 13g |
| 2 packets | 570 kcal | 10.6g | 80g | 26g |
| 3 packets | 855 kcal | 15.9g | 120g | 39g |
2 packets of Maggi = 570 kcal, 10.6g protein, 80g carbs, 26g fat, and about 1,940mg sodium.
Two packets are a common serving for a hungry adult or a large restaurant plate. It provides close to the WHO's suggested daily maximum for sodium (2,000mg) in a single meal. 3 packets = 855 kcal and 15.9g protein.
1 plate or 1 bowl of Maggi (standard homemade serving, 1 packet / ~200g cooked) = 285 calories. Restaurant or canteen servings often use 1.5 to 2 packets.
| Serving | Calories |
|---|---|
| 1 plate Maggi (1 packet, plain) | 285 kcal |
| 1 bowl Maggi (1 packet, plain) | 285 kcal |
| 1 katori Maggi (~100g cooked) | 142 kcal |
| 1 large plate Maggi (2 packets) | 570 kcal |
1 plain Maggi (1 packet, no vegetables or egg) = 285 calories. Plain Maggi is the noodle cake plus the masala tastemaker. Anything you add increases the calories.
| Plain Maggi serving | Calories |
|---|---|
| Half packet | 143 kcal |
| 1 packet | 285 kcal |
| 2 packets | 570 kcal |
Per 100g of cooked Maggi: 142 kcal, 2.65g protein, 20g carbs, 6.5g fat. Per 100g of dry Maggi: 405 kcal, 7.6g protein.
| Nutrient | Per 100g cooked Maggi | Per 100g dry Maggi |
|---|---|---|
| Calories | 142 kcal | 405 kcal |
| Carbohydrates | 20g | 57g |
| Protein | 2.65g | 7.6g |
| Fat | 6.5g | 18.5g |
| Sodium | 485mg | 1,385mg |
1 Maggi packet has 5.3g protein. Per 100g dry Maggi = 7.6g protein; per 100g cooked = 2.65g.
Maggi is low in protein: it provides only about 8% of its calories from protein. For comparison, 285 calories of chicken breast would give about 50 g of protein.
| Maggi serving | Protein |
|---|---|
| 100g cooked Maggi | 2.65g |
| 1 packet Maggi (70g dry) | 5.3g |
| 2 packets Maggi | 10.6g |
| 100g dry Maggi | 7.6g |
For more protein, add an egg, paneer, sprouts, or dal. Use the Hint app to find balanced, protein-rich meals.
One standard Maggi packet (70g dry / ~200g cooked) provides:
| Nutrient | Per packet (70g dry) | Per 100g cooked |
|---|---|---|
| Calories | 285 kcal | 142 kcal |
| Carbohydrates | 40g | 20g |
| Dietary fibre | 1.6g | 0.8g |
| Sugar | 1.4g | 0.7g |
| Protein | 5.3g | 2.65g |
| Total fat | 13g | 6.5g |
| Saturated fat | ~6g | ~3g |
| Sodium | 970mg | 485mg |
| Iron | 3.2mg | 1.6mg |
Most of the calories in Maggi come from refined carbohydrates and fat; protein is a small share. Fat and carbs together make up over 90% of the calories.
| Macro | Per packet | Approx. share of calories |
|---|---|---|
| Carbohydrates | 40g | ~56–59% |
| Fat | 13g | ~33–41% |
| Protein | 5.3g | ~7–8% |
1 Maggi packet contains about 970mg of sodium, close to half of the WHO's suggested daily limit of 2,000mg. Most of it comes from the masala tastemaker. If you use less tastemaker, the sodium drops roughly in proportion.
| Serving | Sodium |
|---|---|
| 100g cooked Maggi | ~485 mg |
| 1 packet Maggi (full tastemaker) | ~970 mg |
| 2 packets Maggi | ~1,940 mg |
| WHO suggested daily limit | 2,000mg (about 5g salt) |
High sodium is the main concern for people with high blood pressure or kidney problems. Two packets can supply nearly a whole day's allowance.
1 Maggi packet = 13g total fat, of which about 6g is saturated. The fat comes mainly from the noodle cake, which is fried or dried during manufacturing; the tastemaker adds a little more.
| Serving | Total fat | Saturated fat |
|---|---|---|
| 100g cooked Maggi | 6.5g | ~3g |
| 1 packet Maggi | 13g | ~6g |
| 2 packets Maggi | 26g | ~12g |
1 plate of egg Maggi (1 packet + 1 whole egg) = about 355 calories and 11.3g protein. An egg adds about 70 calories and roughly doubles the protein. See also our omelette calorie guide.
| Egg Maggi serving | Calories | Protein |
|---|---|---|
| 1 packet Maggi + 1 egg | ~355 kcal | ~11.3 g |
| 1 packet Maggi + 2 eggs | ~425 kcal | ~17.3g |
If you fry the egg or cook it in oil, add about 40 kcal per teaspoon of oil.
1 plate of vegetable Maggi (1 packet + 100g mixed vegetables) = about 310–330 calories. Vegetables add volume, fibre, and micronutrients for a few extra calories.
| Vegetable Maggi serving | Calories | Added benefit |
|---|---|---|
| 1 packet + 50g veggies | ~300 kcal | +1.5g fibre |
| 1 packet + 100g veggies | ~315 kcal | +2.5g fibre |
| 1 packet + 150g veggies | ~330 kcal | +3.5g fibre |
Cooking method changes the total.
| Preparation | Calories |
|---|---|
| Plain Maggi (boiled) | 285 kcal |
| Fried Maggi (1 tsp oil) | ~330 kcal |
| Fried Maggi (1 tsp butter) | ~320 kcal |
| Fried Maggi (2 tsp oil + vegetables) | ~380 kcal |
Maggi is a processed food, but it has a few practical upsides when eaten occasionally.
Fortified with iron and B vitamins: Maggi noodles are fortified. One packet provides about 3.2mg iron, plus thiamine (B1), riboflavin (B2) and niacin (B3).
Quick, affordable energy: The carbohydrates give fast energy, and a packet takes under five minutes to prepare. That is useful when you need a cheap, quick meal.
Easy to improve: Vegetables, egg, paneer, or legumes make it more balanced.
Important caveat: These benefits are modest. Maggi is still high in sodium and refined carbohydrates, so treat it as an occasional food, not a daily staple.
Maggi is convenient but not a nutritious everyday food. It is made mainly from refined wheat flour (maida), is high in sodium and saturated fat, and is low in fibre, protein, and most vitamins and minerals. Occasional Maggi is fine for most healthy adults. For personalised guidance, consult a dietitian through Hint Premium.
Eating Maggi frequently is not ideal, mainly because of:
High sodium: About 970mg per packet. A diet high in sodium is linked with high blood pressure, and two packets deliver nearly a day's allowance.
Refined carbohydrates: The noodles are made from refined flour with little fibre, so they digest quickly and are not very filling.
Saturated fat: About 6g per packet. Saturated fat above recommended limits raises LDL cholesterol. A common guide is roughly 20–22g a day or less for a 2,000 kcal diet.
Low nutrient density: Mostly calories, with little fibre, protein, or micronutrients.
Maggi is not a good staple for weight loss. A packet gives 285 kcal with only 5.3g protein and about 1.6g fibre, so it is not very filling, and you may feel hungry again soon. If you eat it, add vegetables or an egg, keep to one packet, and count it in your daily calories. Dietitians at Hint Premium can help you plan.
Maggi is not an ideal choice for people with diabetes, because 40g of refined carbohydrate per packet with little fibre can raise blood glucose quickly. If you do eat it, keep the portion small, add vegetables and protein, and discuss it with your doctor or dietitian. Use the Hint app to see better food choices.
Maggi is high in sodium (about 970mg per packet), so it is a poor choice for people with high blood pressure. Two packets provide nearly the whole day's sodium allowance. Using only part of the tastemaker lowers the sodium.
The saturated fat in Maggi (about 6g per packet) can raise LDL ("bad") cholesterol when eaten often and as part of a diet that is already high in saturated fat. One packet is a small share of the daily limit, but the amounts add up.
Maggi is not an ideal food for PCOS. Refined carbohydrates with little fibre digest quickly, and a diet built around them can make insulin resistance harder to manage. If you eat it occasionally, add vegetables and a protein source. Use the Hint app to find PCOS-friendly meals.
Maggi is not the most nutritious choice during pregnancy because it lacks the protein, vitamins, and minerals that pregnancy needs, and its high sodium is a concern if you have high blood pressure. Occasional small portions are generally fine; ask your doctor about your diet. Use the Hint app for pregnancy nutrition guidance.
Maggi has no special effect on the thyroid. It is mostly refined carbohydrate, so whole grains and fibre-rich foods are better everyday choices for people with hypothyroidism. Follow your doctor's advice on medication and diet.

100g of cooked Maggi has 142 kcal. 100g of dry noodles has 405 kcal.
5.3g per packet (70g dry), or 7.6g per 100g dry and 2.65g per 100g cooked. Protein is only about 8% of its calories.
About 970mg per packet, close to half of the WHO's suggested daily limit of 2,000mg. Two packets have about 1,940mg.
Maggi with one egg has about 355 kcal and 11.3g protein. With two eggs, about 425 kcal and 17.3g protein.
Maggi with 100g of mixed vegetables has about 315 kcal and roughly 2.5g more fibre than plain Maggi.
Occasionally, it is fine for most healthy adults, but it is high in sodium and refined carbohydrates and low in protein and fibre. Adding vegetables or an egg improves it.
