Daal Gosht 🥘

~549 kcals | 38g protein | 47g carbs | 24g fat
Another episode of plate my food with meeee because desi food absolutely CAN fit into your goals without turning dinner into boiled chicken and sadness 😭

For this plate I had:
🥩 55g cooked lamb
🥣 157g chana daal
🫓 1 roti, 32g
🥛 100g 0% Greek yoghurt
plus salad, tomatoes, lime + all the little extras on the side

I like plating meals like this because I’m still eating the food I grew up with, I’m just being a bit more intentional about portions and making sure there’s a decent protein source on the plate.
And PLEASE remember: consistency over perfection.

I have clients who will stress themselves out over whether they’ve tracked the calories in the spices, the handful of lettuce, a squeeze of lime, a few coriander leaves 😭 babes… we do not need to turn MyFitnessPal into a chemistry practical.

Focus on tracking the things that actually make the biggest difference:
your protein sources, carbs, fats, oils, sauces and calorie-dense ingredients.

For the tiny bits? Estimate where you can and MOVE ON.
A few things I personally do with curries:
✨ I don’t typically cook mine in loads of oil
✨ If someone else has cooked it and there’s visible oil sitting on top, I’ll serve from underneath / skim some of the excess oil to the side
✨ If something is particularly oily, I’ll sometimes blot a little excess with tissue
✨ I track the main components as accurately as I reasonably can, then estimate the rest

Could my plate actually be 520 calories? Maybe.
Could it be 580? Also maybe.

That does not make tracking pointless.
You’re looking for a useful estimate that you can repeat consistently over time, not forensic-level accuracy.

Tracking over guessing
And the number you log is DATA, not a judgement on whether you’ve been “good” or “bad”.
The goal is to learn what your meals roughly contain so you can make informed choices without becoming scared of your own food 🤍
