Instant noodles (Maggi masala)

One serving of Instant noodles (Maggi masala) — 1 pack (70 g) cooked — comes to 303 kcal, 7 g protein, 44.1 g carbs and 11 g fat. Scaled to 100 g it works out to 101 kcal and 2.3 g protein, which makes it not a meaningful protein source on its own for a snack item. That single serving is about 20.2% of a 1,500 kcal day and 15.2% of a 2,000 kcal day, so it's more of a filler than a target-hitter on protein without much extra planning.

Walking off Instant noodles (Maggi masala) takes roughly 7,575 steps, using the rough approximation of 0.04 kcal burned per step (a population-average estimate for a moderate walking pace, not a personalised number). At ₹16 a serving it costs about ₹45.7 for every 20 g of protein it delivers, which is a mid-to-high price for protein compared with dal, eggs or soya chunks. It fits nearly every Indian diet type, including vegetarian, vegan, eggetarian. It works at the evening snack slot and dinner. It's a packaged/processed item, worth checking the label against this estimate.

If you want variety without changing the macros much, the closest swaps in the snack category are Aloo bhujia / namkeen, Bhel puri, Boiled kala chana chaat, Potato chips (packet) — each keeps a similar role on the plate while shifting the exact protein-to-carb balance a little.
