How to measure when there is no protein on plate.. Indian diet is kind of frustrating sometimes.. counting protein from dal and lentils is useless.. its a way of fooling ourselves
@@harsharip peanuts contains more fat than protein. They are also very high in calories so you have to limit your consumption if you are on a weightloss
The facts here are presented in a crisp and detailed manner whereas Dr Pal does the same in a comical manner. Two such people are much needed to reach the masses of Indians across the globe for a healthy living.
You're a life saviour. I tried quantified eating few years ago but gave up after a day, because weighing every thing I ate made me hate food. This heuristics is a game changer, I never considered protein content in rice, veggies etc. Loving all your videos - both content and production value, I am binge watching them everyday. In fact, I am organizing and summarizing all your videos in Notion for my reference. Hope to see a similar video for fats if possible. Thanks and keep them coming.
Millets is a great option to be considered. In my place jowar (bajra in winters)rotis with dal or a vegetable/sprouts curry is a staple food. Ragi mudde is staple in many parts of KA. These days millet idlis and dosas are also in trend. Even millet rava(can be made at home/ flour mill) and vermicelli are good options. Apart millet ambli(made by fermentation, quite easy to make) is a must try.
This was really interesting and helpful. I don´t live in India, but I go there for longer stays and being plantbased I worry about my protein intake when I eat out. When at home in Italy I cook almost all my meals and aim for a minimum of 60 g per day, but often have more (as I do strength training and also am not sure about absorption). Food I add to my breakfast to ensure it is not below 30 g, are homemade plain soy yogurt, freshly grounded flaxseeds (for omega 3 but also give protein), wheat germ (or buckwheat germ), pumkin seeds, sunflower seeds, plain legume based protein powder. For lunch and dinner I always have homemade dal/hummus or other version of legumes, whole grains (buckwheat, millet, oat or other), nutritional yeast (very rich in protein and tastes a little like cheese), and/or tofu (either marinated and cooked, or if I need to add proteins I make pakora with tofu), and I also use soy milk in my coffee or matcha. Didn´t count the vegetables and fruits, even though we eat huge amounts of them on daily. I love Indian food though, without Indian cuisine and spices vegan and vegetarian food would be quite boring!
Don't worry about Protein. Breast milk is best for a baby to grow, it only has 1% protein. Just as animals we eat make protein from plants. Our bodies can also effectively do this. Only Plants make protein. It is a secondary source from animals.
Sir ca you please give the value in grams. Because my cup or small cup is different from another persons. We have simple kitchen weghing machines that can tell us exactly what quantity we are using
I was waiting for a video like this! All the other fitness channels usually have an American diet, but Indian foods always confused me. And now I know Im still quite below my daily protein target. Thanks for keeping it simple and explaining with clarity.
Omg.... you made soooo simple to understand protein intake in regular indian traditional food.... rather than in any fancy foods.... Which is very much needed to get out of all the confusion towards protein... Thanks a lot... Love your videos with much more more informative
Phewwww so Vegetarian Meals seem so Difficult to get 80 to 100 grams Protein daily 🥺 .....protein flour Roti that i make has Wholewheat Atta 70 % n soyabean +chickpea+moong mix 30% how much those Protein Flour Rotis would have?😅

Dude I'm a student in my late teen who is good to go with rice and sambar for lunch and chapati along with sabji at night, I'm certainly deficient of protein provided my budget all i can do as of now is it add eggs to my rescue for every meal thats it 😅😅😅
Great and really helpful video. Can you make this video in Hindi ? I want to show this to my parents. As an Indian Vegeterain, they intake lot of carbs but lack protein in their diet. Plus they are rigid to change their diet if I say so. EDIT: Nevermind, You have already made one, just 2 days ago. Thank you !! PS: This is the link : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-oI9neJ3PoB8.html&ab_channel=MasalaLabHindi
Thank you for such an informative video.. it'll be a huge help if u could suggest a good plant based or whey protein supplement.. I workout 4 to 5 days a week .. mainly focussing on strength training.. Im always skeptical about the protein supplements.. just want to have ur opinion on any trustworthy protien supplements...
Hello Sir, Hope you are doing good. Great thanks for sharing this video. I have a question. I train for marathon races . How much protein and carbohydrates I should consume?
I cannot provide advice for specific individual situations since I am not an expert at sports medicine or fitness training. Best to speak to someone who is
Your depiction of one cup in the images in your video is smaller than the "standard cup size" of 250 ml. Which one of these do you mean when you say "one cup"?
⚠️ SOME PEOPLE ARE ALLERGIC TO EGGS..IN THAT CASE IS IT OK TO ADD "MUTTON" PIECES TO EVERY MEAL...EVERYDAY....BUT I'VE A DOUBT ABOUT SATURATED FAT..BUT CARNIVORE PEOPLE ARE EATING..JUST REDMEAT.. BY..LOOKING AT THEM..IS IT OK TO ADD REDMEAT EVERY DAY..ALONG WITH OUR NORMAL MEALS..JUST LIKE ADDING EGGS TO EVERY MEAL...?
Thank you for this video. My dilemma with all diet related videos was, while everyone talks about which food is good for what, i would never get answers to how much protein or carb is there in cooked idli or whatever. This video gave me some clarity. Thanks once again.
We need another video calculating the amount of calories in this meal, you seem to be advocating for non vegetarian diet or relying on external protein supplements even if not exercising. In the process of adding protein people are going to end up eating way more calories than needed. This is feeling a bit misleading to me now.
(11) That was absolutely fascinating. No wonder I look like I am withering away. I'm not a huge fan of meat, but I guess I'd better force myself to be. Mind you, I do love my dairy and eggs, dhal, etc.
@@krishashok Oh, yeah. There is a gym I can walk to in less than 10 minutes. And I'll bet they will be more than happy to see a spindly old chook like me. (most gym owners LOVE a challenge)
Recently stared working out again and have never been protein conscious ever before. This time I had started proton intake on very rough estimates and then I found this video. I can't thank my gruh nakshatras enough for bringing me here. I have wasted so many days months of working out and never getting the desired results... Thankfully not any more. Thank you so much!
This is much needed content. Simply explained mythbuster. I always assumed I was eating enough protein. BTW, just wondering protein content of a Gujarati Thali😂😉
That was well explained sir! A question_ i am a vegetarian and however i try ,cant make the required protein for the day, i take whey protein supplements like a scoop a day, will it be ok to take that everyday???
A good video, but I was disappointed that there was no mention of protein in milk. Also I thought instead of protein powder or whey powder isn’t it better to supplement with some nuts, seeds etc? Any protein in fruits? But keep up the good work.
Most adults, particularly old people, do not digest milk very well, so milk as a protein source is impractical for most people in India, which is why i suggested curd and paneer, which are more practical. And no, nuts are not equivalent of whey protein. You'd have to eat a lot of nuts, and they have a lot of fat, to get an equivalent amount of protein. THey are excellent snacks, but not meaningful sources of protein. But no harm in having them in between meals!
U need 3 gms of bcaaa. Signalling imp. Plus post workout 25g..u stimulated the muscle but otherwise 28 gms per meal . scientific study watch Dr Grabiellle Lyon.
BIGGER ISSUE in Indian diet is, major part of diets is Carbohydrates & less of Protiens! It has to be REVERSE for good long-term health. It has to be MORE Protiens & lesser of Carbs. This video will make the majority & almost every person think he meets Protien targets, but still will be UNFIT UNHEALTHY !
Anyone plz let me know one thing Suppose we r getting 15g protein from one meal And want to use why protein How we can include why in order to complete our requirement ? We have to take one scoop after our meal or anything else ?
I'm a 28 years old, 62.5 inch tall woman. My current weight is 57.5, daily physical activity is quite sedentary. If i eat 4 boiled whole eggs daily, would that be healthy???? Or should i remove the yolks?
I bought a kitchen scale and it has changed my life not only for cooking but also tracking. I exercise regularly so i have to get the max protein. As a bengali, it's easy for me to get it from dal, fish and chicken. I supplement with soy protein
As someone with Muscular Dystrophy and Type 2 Diabetes, I find Indian food with too much carbs, I no longer eat rice or roti, I mostly eat vegetables, chicken, eggs, and a protein shake a day. As Indians do not spend enough time to exercise, ie weightlifting, Indian food is not healthy.
Great video! I am a vegetarian Indian, so have to work extra hard for my protein. I baseline with 2 scoops of Whey, 150g Tofu and 2 tablespoons peanut butter, which adds up to 25x2+22.5+8 = 80.5 gms of protein. Rest I get from Rice/Dal/Subzee/Curd/Nuts. This much protein perfectly compliments my athletic lifestyle. Thanks again for this video!
@@krishashok i am not asking for any specific product review. I just want to know that in the market almonds are available from rs 500 - rs 4500. There are many varieties also- American, spanish, gurbandi, mamra etc.. i want to know if there is any difference between all these. Are the rates directly proportional to the nutritional value ? Please 🙏 I really want to know this. Please see if you can clear this confusion. Thnx
Very useful video for a vegetarian like me. Thanks a ton for sharing. Have been wondering whether I am getting enough protein from my food and have now found out I am not!!! 😮
There is no reported lab test showing a protein deficiency. Protein deficiency is only possible if you are dying from starvation, and in that case, you are deficient in getting enough calories because you are literally dying. It makes no sense to increase protein intake when you think about it. Protein is used for growth, and the most significant amount of growth occurs when we are born. The primary food for newborn humans is milk, which is only 6% protein. After we are weaned, we don't need more than 6% protein in our diet. Moreover, protein, especially animal protein, increases the risk of cancer. Papua New Guinea highlanders eat mostly sweet potatoes, which contain only 4% protein, yet they are healthy, strong, and muscular. Just because you have a platform doesn't mean you should brainwash people into thinking they need more protein.
Thrilled to have chanced upon your channel. Have a feeling am going to binge watching like an OTT show. Brilliant insights, delectable presentation. Kudos 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
My great grand parents, grand parents, parents were vegeterian/ vegan, never calculated protein and still were so healthy! This protein obsession is new!
@@shivpriyarani3826Aisa kuch nahi tha bevkoof ho kya? My great great grandfather & great grandfather both lived till 80+ years of age and passed away naturally without any diseases. All were lacto-vegetarians.
Great content. Can you also please consider Western Indian thali like in Maharashtra? Because there is use of cooked sprouts ( usal) like moong, matki, black eyed beans. How much protein would be in one katori of cooked sprouts?
Not a word for bioavailability of proteins? That would make a huge difference considering the bioavailability of plant proteins are significantly less compared to their animal counterparts. Therefore, not only quantity but quality of the protein also matters. So, vegetarians must rely more on milk based proteins as in whole or toned milk, paneer, curd, and whey protein. That makes vegetarianism, not veganism, more relevant in India.
this is the most needed video ,thank you for the video i have recently started counting protein and realised i did not meet even 60% of what i needed consciously including more protein for the first few weeks will definitely make it easier later and the chart and count you gave is much helpful for those who are beginners
I've a kinda assumption that protein suppliments are difficult to choose. There's so much brand demanding theirs best , i really doubt if any one of them worth the price even a little bit . But i never personally tried or have no actual prove for that so I'd be glad if you talk about that , how should I know I'm taking a good enough protein suppliment.
Loved the video. (Especially the "including this one" 😄) One thing I wanted to point out is - there is some modern research on longevity relating lower (not very low) protein intake to longer lifespans. Not trying to negate your point, since Indians probably don't consume protein at that level. But just trying to say protein above a certain level may not be that good and I thought you might be interested in checking out some new fascinating ideas.
Lots of fascinating (but largely unproven at clinical scale) research in the longevity space. At this point, I’d be more worried about not getting the bare minimum than whether I’m overdoing it
@@krishashok Oh absolutely. I agree, especially wrt Indian diets. I grew up with a South Indian diet similar to what you described, and it was extremely carb-focused (and with ghee, of course). Learning to consume protein and finding appropriate sources is challenging, not least because proteins are often calorie-dense. Anyway, about the unprovenness. I agree there isn’t as much of a systemic body of research leading to unified conclusions, so we should not take advice from that just yet. I think much of it will end up being the classics (whole grains, veggies, lots of exercise etc.) But there are a few interesting “good science” results here and there and I just find it fascinating that things that may be necessary for us to live healthy on the short term may contradict things you need to live longer.
I just love the no-bullshit concise to-the -point approach you have. Well researched, needless to say!! Awesome video!! RU-vidrs talk in a language difficult to translate into actionable practical actions..
What india needs is more of protein and less of carbs. The government should encourage people to increase protein consumption atleast relevant to your body weight.
This video is an eye-opener! With 80% of Indians being protein deficient and our meals often focused on carbs, it's crucial to address this imbalance. I love how Krish Ashok explains that we can boost our protein intake without drastic or unsustainable changes to our diet. The practical tips on how to measure protein on your plate make it easier to incorporate healthier habits gradually. This is a must-watch for anyone looking to improve their nutrition in a realistic and sustainable way!
Does it have to be 60g everyday? Can one eat ~100g of protein every third day and be relaxed on the other two days? I am asking because although 80% of Indians eat meat, the majority of them still eat vegetarian food in most of their meals and only occasionally (once or twice per week) eat meat (devours it).
As always very informative and would have taken lots of time to research. It is really difficult to get all these information if you live outside India as the dieticians don't have a clue about our food habits and their knowledge is only limited to butter chicken masala and naan.
Guess you have lipoma on your hands. Me too. And I believe its related to sitting... and I see it in more and more people... I had 0 of them before I started my job.
Bogus content. You don't need to count protein if you are meeting your daily calorie needs. I know content creators will keep posting bogus content to make money but people should be careful.
I LOVE the combination of practical science (broken down into perfectly relatable pieces) and food porn. I can hardly wait for my next meal, & I’m sure it will be well proportioned after learning more about portions from your video. Thank you kindly 🙏
