Is Aloo Matar good for weight loss?

Yes — a good choice

Aloo Matar carries roughly 101 kcal per 100 g, which is moderate for an everyday Indian food. The fibre content (around 3.6 g per 100 g) slows digestion and steadies appetite between meals. You can fit reasonable portions into a fat-loss diet without much trouble, as long as the rest of your day stays within your calorie target.

Is Aloo Matar good for muscle gain?

Mainly an energy food

Aloo Matar provides about 3.5 g of protein per 100 g, which counts as low for Indian foods. That works out to roughly 3.5 g of protein per 100 kcal, so it is not an efficient way to hit a protein target. Pair it with a dedicated protein source — dal, curd, paneer, eggs, soya or chicken — rather than relying on it for muscle growth.

Health tips for eating Aloo Matar

Cook with 1–2 tsp oil per serving — extra oil and cream add calories fast. Pair with dal, curd or paneer to add protein to the meal.
