This thread reveals the exact dal that gives the highest protein per 100g
(and the right way to use it):
1] Protein content of common dals (100g raw):
• Moong dal (yellow, split) → 24g protein
• Urad dal → 25g protein
• Masoor dal (red) → 24g protein
• Toor/Arhar dal → 22g protein
• Chana dal → 21g protein
Urad dal leads, closely followed by moong and masoor
*round fig
2] But here’s the hidden truth about dal protein:
• Protein quality is low (missing essential amino acids like methionine).
• Bioavailability < animal protein.
• Dal is not enough on its own to hit your daily protein target
Your family isn’t trying to ruin your fat loss progress.
But their habits are.
Late dinners. Oily food. Too many festivals.
If your goals are clashing with home life - this thread is for you: 🧵
1] Anchor your 1 non-negotiable.
Pick the ONE thing you will never skip no matter what your family does.
Examples:
• A 20-min walk after lunch
• A protein-rich breakfast daily
• A 10 PM fixed sleep time
That anchor keeps your identity in place and everyone gets it.
2] Every Indian family has 1 festival or event every week.
You’re not going to escape them.
So build flexibility
• Eat clean 5-6 days a week
• Use 1 day for buffer meals (not binges)
• Increase activity on high-calorie days
• Return to routine next meal, not next week
And the answer is:
Yes but only if you do it right.
Here’s a no-BS guide to get 100g protein without meat or eggs:
Staples every vegetarian should have in their kitchen:
• Low-fat/Normal paneer
• Tofu/Soya chunks (in moderation)
• Milky Mist Greek Yogurt/Dahi
• Whey protein concentrate (any good brand)
• Amul High Protein Milk (25g per bottle)
amul products are decent
Use these.
No need to reinvent the wheel.
• Paneer bhurji, besan chilla, dal chawal, Greek yogurt with fruit
• Whey shake, moong soup, protein milk
• Roti + paneer sabzi
• Amul Lassi + chana
Just do these consistently and hit 100g without any problem.
