Everyday Nutrition Reference & Portion Guide

South Asian Staples & Accurate Sizing

A standard home-cooked whole wheat roti (35g dough) provides approximately 104 kcal (3.5g protein, 22g carbs, 0.6g fat). If brushed with ghee or butter, add 35 to 45 kcal per roti. A typical medium bowl or plate of yellow daal tadka (250g) delivers 220 kcal and 12g of plant-based protein.

Optimal Protein Distribution

To maximize muscle protein synthesis (MPS) across the day, distribute protein evenly into 25-45g portions per meal. Aim for 1.6 to 2.2 grams of protein per kilogram of total body weight daily when resistance training.

Energy Balance & Safe Deficits

For sustainable fat loss, maintain a moderate caloric deficit of 300 to 500 kcal below your maintenance TDEE. Avoid extreme crash diets below 1,200 kcal for women or 1,500 kcal for men to prevent metabolic downregulation and muscle wasting.
