Diet & Nutrition
Straightforward nutrition explainers for Indian readers covering protein, calories, hydration, supplements, food choices, and label checks.

FAQ
Is it hard to get enough protein on a vegetarian Indian diet?
Harder, not hard. Dairy, pulses, soya, and paneer cover most of it; the difficulty is usually volume rather than availability.
Are 'sugar-free' products actually better?
They remove sugar, not necessarily calories or refined carbohydrate. Check the full nutrition panel rather than the front-of-pack claim.
Does meal timing matter?
Far less than total intake and composition. Timing matters mainly for training performance and for people managing blood sugar.
