Key takeaways
- Use a protein anchor in every meal.
- Distribute intake through the day.
- Supplements are optional convenience.
Start with foods you already eat
A sustainable plan does not require a shelf of imported products. Build each meal around a clear protein source, familiar carbohydrates, vegetables and an amount of fat that fits your goal.
Milk, curd, paneer, tofu, soy and dals can all contribute depending on your preferences.
Build a useful daily pattern
Distribute protein across three or four meals rather than trying to catch up at dinner. Adjust portions using energy, training and two to three weeks of trends.
- Paneer, tofu or soy at a main meal.
- Curd or milk with breakfast.
- Combine dals with grains.
- Use protein powder only when convenient.
