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.

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.

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 :ph34r:

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.

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.
