Why
- 1.9 g protein per 100 kcal (low; chicken breast is about 22, plain rice about 2).
- 176 kcal a serving is 6% of a 2,800 kcal bulking day, and 3 g is 2% of 140 g protein.
- Fat gives 46% of its calories, mostly from the cooking fat, so the recipe matters more than the dish.
The portion to aim for
Even 4 ladoo gives 13 g protein (703 kcal), so build the meal around another protein food.
