Day 1
Diet
Breakfast - 1 and a half parathas made with 80% atta, 20% besan, one onion and one teaspoon oil and + small piece of pickle
Lunch - 300 grams cabbage stir fried with one teaspoon oil, 150 grams boiled rice, 50 gms boiled dal, one teaspoon ghee
Snack - 1 cup tea
Dinner - 1 and a half parathas made with 80% atta, 20% besan, one onion and one teaspoon oil and + small piece of pickle, 1 banana, 1 carrot and 1 tomato
How did it feel?
The good: Fiber, protein, veggies and fats covered quite well. The ratios of macronutirients aren't too bad either.
The bad: Very low calorie diet. Calcium, Iron and Potassium are very low.
The challenge for tomorrow: Increase calories without disproportionately increasing carbs.
Most nutrients look good, but the calorie count is about 700 calories off. I need 1800 and I got 1140. That's terrible. This means some recalculation and reallocation of funds is required. Here are some snapshots from calorie counter.
