Questions

Before you buy.

Is it only for gym-goers?

No. It works for anyone eating vegetarian who wants more protein, from students to parents planning family meals.

Do I need protein powder?

No. Every day of the menu reaches its target with food. The guide also says when powder can help.

Does it include eggs?

No. Every food in the guide is vegetarian, with no eggs.

I live in a hostel or PG. Will it work?

Yes. There’s a full 80 g day built from the mess, your bag and an electric kettle, plus a list of foods that keep in your room.

Is it expensive to eat this way?

No. The budget page builds an 83 g day for about ₹55 of protein foods, at April 2026 Bengaluru kirana prices. Prices in your city will differ.

What’s the fridge chart?

A one-page A4 chart of protein per serving to print and stick on your fridge, plus a phone version for the grocery shop. Both come with the PDF.

Where do the numbers come from?

India’s food composition tables (IFCT 2017, National Institute of Nutrition) and the USDA database, worked out for normal Indian servings.

I have a health condition. Can I use this?

This is general nutrition information for healthy adults. If you have a kidney condition or diabetes, or you’re pregnant, ask your doctor before you change how much protein you eat.

Can I get a refund?
