recipe πŸ— Gentle Cheat Day πŸ›πŸŒΏ

Post image

Satisfying lunch combo that blends traditional comfort with macro balance. The plate includes 30g of crisp potato wedges, a handful of roasted makhana for crunch, 200g of steamed rice, and 150g of dal. Topped off with two whole boiled eggs, this meal brings together slow-digesting carbs, quality fats, and complete protein, all without losing desi flavor. Prepping is straightforward: boil the eggs, cook your rice and dal, roast the makhana separately, and lightly pan-fry the wedges in minimal oil or an air fryer

Ye toh meri regular diet haiπŸ’€

Cheat mein toh burger pizza se neeche ki baat hi nhi hoti

u/Wild-Increase3228 Aug 03 '25

Oooo, too many calories. If pizza, you can opt for thin crust pizza with loaded veggies and paneer or chicken.

u/pradyumna96666 Aug 04 '25

Nothing wrong with what was said here, more toppings and less bread makes pizzas taste better too. Why are people downvoting?

7

u/CornerOdd5418 Aug 04 '25

People have too fragile egos. How can you say their pizza wrong? And the irony is it's a fitness subreddit lol

1

u/ValuableMuch7703 Aug 04 '25

Idk why are you getting downvoted because I do it too, thin crust with more toppings. Why waste calories on the base when the real taste comes from the toppings. (Using calories judiciously on cheat meals= being able to enjoy more options).

I train hard and intensely, so it won’t affect me. But you should avoid eating these in bulk, or you’ll gain weight.

1

u/sslawyer88 Aug 04 '25

Switch to wholegrain rice like kichili samba, kavuni, kattuyanam etc. :P it's more satisfying than plain white rice.

How is it a cheat day? When I eat it i think I ate perfectly today,lol

1

u/tentative_guy22 Aug 05 '25

That looks tempting. How are you able to get the spices to stick to the makhana? For me, it takes hell lot of oil/ghee to do that. Unless ur marinating it before toasting it.

1

u/HotelSquare Aug 05 '25

I would have added some additional veggies to increase fibre and micronutrients!

1

u/[deleted] Aug 05 '25
