🥦 Why Indian Diets Often Miss the Mark

1. Too Many Carbs, Not Enough Protein

Most of our meals are centered around rice, chapati, or parathas — high in carbohydrates, low in protein.

2. Incomplete Protein Sources

While dals, chana, or rajma do have protein, they’re often incomplete in terms of amino acid profile. You’d need huge quantities to meet your daily protein goal.

3. Lack of Awareness

Many people believe “dal is enough” or that they “get protein from vegetables.” Unfortunately, that’s rarely true in terms of volume and quality.

🛠️ How to Fix the Protein Gap

The good news? You can start improving your protein intake today with small, simple changes:

• Start with protein at breakfast: Add paneer, soy, or try a high-protein upma.
• Add variety: Use tofu, lentils, sprouts, nuts, and dairy throughout the week.
• Pair smartly: Combine cereals + pulses (e.g., dal with rice) to complete the amino acid profile.
• Choose smart, ready-to-eat options:
