**Official** 1st Test @ Perth, 22nd-26th November

hmmm, a cup of dal with rice should be about 20 g of protein. Dosa with sambar about 10 g as a pretty small snack. A single chappati is about 3 grams of protein so if you have a couple of those with some veggie dishes it'd probably around another 20 g of protein for the evening meal. So total of 50 g protein daily for what would be a relatively low calorie day overall (unless the whole lot is smothered with ghee).
So yeah I would say total calories and lack of fresh veggies would be more of an issue than protein. If you want to say that you'd get more with meat then you should factor in that you'd just be eating more calories overall.

If someone needed more protein/calories they could simply eat a bit more dal with their rice.

A sports person/active person would need more calories then that overall so if you just simply doubled that intake it's 100 g protein. That is plenty even for athletes.

You have to eat a lot of daal to get 20g of protein from it lol. 1 cup is a big bowl when cooked. Just doesn’t happen.

1 chappati at 3g each is also just 9-12g depending on how many you eat. The veggies ain't giving you another 10g.

A single dosa isn’t giving you 10g either, it’s a lot less.

If you’re hitting protein goals with this diet you’re taking in a lot of calories once you factor in the carbs and oil.

Like I said it’s obviously possible if you consciously make choices, but then you’re no longer the average person are you.

Well timed by Denzel. Reminds me of Raina with that bunt

 

[ataraxia]

How many 3s have there been this innings? They keep on jogging them.

 

[ma1978]

his issues are mostly against spin. still decentish against pace.

should play the eng series and then there is a 2 match series vs wi at home.

Schedule the matches in delhi-mumbai and retire rohit-kohli.

let’s see. I think the cricketing nous is there for some real late career value if he plays within his limitations.

Garbage from Sundar ffs. Have to twist that blade in when you can.

 

[KungFu_Kallis]

Wow does Nathan look knackered in that celebration or what

 

[Qlder]

What's with all the continuous Indian diet/food posts? It's a live match thread ffs so what does food have to do with that

 

[Daemon]

Ah shame. Was a good partnership.

 

[vicleggie]

Geez this outfield is slow.

Garbage from Sundar ffs. Have to twist that blade in when you can.

Mate the body's dead and the priest is reciting the last rites. In a trolly northerly accent

We were talking about cuisine, and Australia doesn't have one, so we had to keep going on about Indian.

 

[Arachnödouche2.0]

Wonder how amped up VK will be if he gets the 100.

 

[King Kane]

Time to get ready for Reddy, he provided some fireworks in the first innings, can't wait to see what he does here.

 

[trundler]

Dal is a terrible source of protein. It's a lot less bioavailable and you get a disproportionately high amount of carbs (and hence total calories) to match the protein content of one serving of chicken or beef. The protein quality index is a thing. Sure, you could supplement with protein powders but they're still a lot more expensive in the subcontinent. There's nowhere near enough protein in the Indian diet if you don't eat meat.

 

[govinda indian fan]

If wicket falls here we should declare. Aussies would bowl bouncers to injure our bowlers

 

[vicleggie]

Never seen a shot like that from a right hander

You don't just get protein from the dal itself you also get it from the rice you have with it. A small serving of dal with rice is between 10-20 g of protein per serving depending upon how concentrated you're having it. and that would be only about 400 calories.

Similarly, if you have 3-4 chappatis (9-12 g of protein) with 2-3 vegetable curries it's not unreasonable to expect that the vegetables themselves contain around 3-4 g protein each. That is a pretty normal value depending upon which vegetables you're talking about.

So yeah I stand by those numbers.

 

[King Kane]

There goes Reddy for six with a helicopter.

 

[govinda indian fan]

Kohli should give strike to nitish when facing lyon. Will smash him all over the ground

 

[Arachnödouche2.0]

****, Aus have been levelled here. Too bad they'll get some time to recoup before Adelaide.
