Daily Total

Amount
Total Calories ~855 kcal
Protein ~76g
Carbs ~55g
Fat ~36g

855 calories is very low. For an average adult, the minimum recommended is around 1,500–1,800 kcal/day for men**.**

A few things worth flagging:

  • 5 eggs is a lot of cholesterol (~1,000mg vs the 300mg daily limit) — consider doing 2 whole eggs + 3 egg whites instead
  • Hunger at night is your body telling you it's underfueled — oatmeal was a smart choice but the real fix is eating more during the day
  • Protein is decent (~76g) but calories are too low to sustain energy or muscle

so you see my concern here 5 eggs is too much i think and i have tried to replace bran with 1 plain roti to full the hude calorie gap

Please advice as i am new to the whole desi dieting thing we see alot of content on western food what to eat and what not but rarely about the desi food:

Questions:
what is proper diet that you have followed any specific dishes?
is roti safe ? or does it cause too much fat ?
how much protein should i bee taking ?
any other advice youd like to give ?
