Why it is built this way
- Protein is 141 g (24% of calories). Most of it comes from whey shake (with water) (48 g), paneer bhurji (30 g), roti (13 g).
- Rotis and rice are the dial: one roti is about 99 kcal and half a katori of rice about 97 kcal, so add or remove them to move the day by 100 kcal.
- Oil is the hidden number. The recipes assume 5–8 g per katori of dal or sabzi; a heavy hand adds 50–100 kcal per dish.
