There is no dearth of lovers of egg paratha in the modern diet. Many people consider it very good for health, but this is not true.

Egg paratha, which is considered a good source of protein and energy, can be harmful for some people. Let's know why this is so based on research and doctors.

Egg paratha is usually made from flour, ghee and eggs. It has a combination of protein, fat and carbohydrates, due to which it may seem healthy.

According to a study in the Journal of Nutrition (2025), the high fat and cholesterol content in egg paratha can be harmful to health.

Let us tell you that a large egg contains about 186 milligrams of cholesterol, which if cooked in ghee or oil can be harmful for those who have digestive problems, heart disease or allergies.

According to the Indian Journal of Dietetics (2024), it is important to take care of your health before consuming egg paratha, as it may cause gas, indigestion or increased cholesterol levels in some people.

According to Dr. Rajat Sharma, Nutritionist, Max Super Speciality Hospital, Delhi, Egg Paratha may be fine for normal people, but in some diseases it can harm the diet system and heart health.

Egg yolk contains high cholesterol. On the other hand, parathas cooked in ghee or oil have increased saturated fat. According to the data of the American Heart Association (2025), heart patients and people suffering from high cholesterol can increase the risk of heart attack or stroke by 15-20 percent by eating egg paratha.

Egg paratha is a very heavy food, which can cause indigestion, gas, or constipation. According to the Journal of Gastroenterology (2024), people suffering from irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) may experience stomach irritation or pain due to this.
