Protein diet is an affordable diet if you understand how much protein you need per day and what are the types of protein rich food items available in market.
For instance, your body can process up to 2.0 grams protein per kg body weight. Anything above that cannot be utilized by your body.
By the way you don't need more than 1.5g protein per 1kg bodyweight. Which means if you weigh 60kgs you need max 90g of protein per day.
The objective is to understand your current lifestyle, your fitness goal, your daily/monthly budget and food accessibility.
Few weeks ago I wrote an answer on how to get 60–100g of protein from vegetarian diet.
- Peanut Butter, Curd, Soyabean chunks, Chickpeas, lentils, and milk are cheap source of protein.
I understand not every one wants to buy whey protein or can afford it so let’s ignore it for a moment.
As evening snack I am eating “Roasted Bengal Gram” (50–60 gram), and it doesn’t cost me a bomb. I got it from a local supermarket and costed me around Rs. 120 (approx) for 1 kg.
50–60 gram of roasted bengal gram would give 10 grams of protein and is costing me 6–8 rupees.
This is just an example, there are many other products that are protein rich but we never notice.
Broken Wheat/Dalia is another example, it will cost you 50–60 rupees for 1 kg packet. It gives you 14g of protein in a serving size of 100g.
Hope this helps.
Let’s make India a fit nation. :)
Thanks 🙏 🙏🙏
