Frequently Asked Questions

How much protein do I need for muscle building with Indian food?
For muscle gain, aim for 1.6–2.2 g/kg body weight. A 70 kg person needs 112–154g protein daily. Indian vegetarian sources: paneer (18g/100g), soy chunks (52g/100g), dal (7–9g/cup), eggs (6g each), whey protein. Spread intake across 4–5 meals for optimal muscle protein synthesis.
What should I eat before and after a workout?
Pre-workout (1–2 hours before): banana with peanut butter, oats with milk, or a roti with dal. Post-workout (within 30–60 min): protein shake with banana, egg whites with toast, or paneer bhurji with roti. Our Pre-Workout and Post-Workout Nutrition Calculators give personalized recommendations.
Can I build muscle on a vegetarian Indian diet?
Absolutely. Combine complementary proteins: dal + rice, roti + rajma, soy chunks + vegetables. Add paneer, Greek yogurt, eggs (if ovo-veg), and whey protein. Soy chunks at 52g protein/100g are among the best vegetarian protein sources globally. Our Protein Calculator factors in vegetarian protein quality.
How many calories do I need to bulk up?
Start with a surplus of 300–500 kcal above your TDEE. For a lean bulk, keep the surplus at 200–300 kcal to minimize fat gain. Track weekly β€” if you're gaining more than 0.5 kg/week, reduce slightly. Our Bulking Calculator gives you a personalized surplus based on your training intensity.
Is creatine safe for Indians?
Yes, creatine monohydrate is one of the most researched and safest supplements. Take 3–5g daily (no loading phase needed). It's especially beneficial for vegetarians who get less creatine from diet. Stay well-hydrated. Not recommended for people with kidney disease. Our Creatine Calculator gives your optimal dose.
