Nutritionist Rashi Chowdhary has recently broken it down in her latest Instagram entry. According to her, "if every Indian ate 60 - 80 g of protein every single day, a lot of our health issues would be sorted out." For example, a typical Indian diet with 80 g of protein likely includes 26 g of 1 glass of sattu drink, 23 g of 1 cup cooked chole and 31 g of moong dal. Rashi Chowdhary, however, warns that these items also have 225 g of carbohydrate. But guess what? 15 g of grilled fish, 15 g of masala omelette and 50 g of grilled chicken curry also equals 80 g of protein. The only difference is that these dishes have only 10 g of carbohydrate, making them more balanced. "38% of urban Indian adults are already insulin resistant, 1 in 5 women has PCOS, 1 in 8 has endometriosis and a lot of people are struggling with fatty liver but don't even know it," the nutritionist explains. So what's the solution? It's a 1:1 protein-carb ratio, which means "if you have 30 g of protein, make sure that your carbohydrate intake doesn't cross 30 g." In her caption, Rashi Chowdhary writes, "If you are metabolically healthy, then the stuff on the right-hand side will serve you really well. In no way am I saying to do keto. Have your carbs, but also know your carbs and pair them well. Know what is actually high-protein and what's not."
