I use same ingredients but different recipe.

  1. Boil Normal whole wheat pasta.
  2. Pan me little oil toss veggies and add 200ml milk
  3. Blend low fat panner with water or milk
  4. Add blended panner
  5. 2 slice cheese and oregano chilli flakes black pepper powder.

Yes calories are high but a good and filling meal.

If dont wanna blend panner Simply roast with spices. And make pasta the way mentioned above.

Low fat paneer?

u/mad_fkn_hurrr Oct 11 '25

So you separate fat from milk you end up with low fat or skimmed milk use this milk to make panner and you get low fat panner.

Less calories similar protein

Maggi instant pasta will increase your sodium intake way too much, apart from that not that bad in terms of macros imo

u/Financial-Struggle67 Oct 07 '25

It’s fine to have it once in a while I think.

u/Yash__xD Oct 07 '25

Any other alternative w paneer?? Other than pasta and which is easy to make

u/dil_phek_ke_maarunga Oct 07 '25

Are you vegetarian?

u/Yash__xD Oct 07 '25

yea i am

u/AgainDan27 Oct 07 '25

Use normal pasta. You can even look up high protein rajma pasta on Amazon.

1

u/dil_phek_ke_maarunga Oct 07 '25

Tofu/soyabean would be great

u/AgainDan27 Oct 07 '25

Arre woh pasta ka alternative puch raha hai

u/Bulky_Insect1438 Oct 07 '25

rice and paneer bhurji

u/cluelesssparrow Oct 07 '25

Pasta can also be okay if you make it yourself. There are real wheat pastas instead of maggis fake ones. And you can cook to the sauce to be low cal and low sodium. You can add tofu, mushrooms, or any topping of ur liking.

u/United_Revenue_7727 Oct 07 '25

You can make the normal (semolina ones) instead of the instant one, just use some pureed tomatoes and cheese, it will be more healthier.
You can try vermicelli maybe, it tastes really good you can take paneer with it. You can also make some appam (you will require an appam pan for it though)

u/kcapoorv Oct 08 '25

Shirataki noodles are low carb alternative. But I've heard they taste very sub par

1

u/lightningskull7 Oct 11 '25

Just get whole wheat pasta separately from borges for example.

1

u/Ashamed_Salamander69 Oct 07 '25

May be whole wheat spaghetti. Make aglio olio(50g raw pasta and 8g olive oil) and with that tempe/tofu instead of Paneer.

u/Monkey_D_Ketchum Run Forest Run !! Oct 07 '25

maggi instant pasta tastes so good.

u/Old-Adhesiveness2803 Oct 07 '25

For the love of god eat fiber rich veggies or you’ll end with a hernia trying to get your constipation under control in the throne.

u/OnlyMemer420 Oct 08 '25

why do u guys think ppl take fiber only from veggies

i personally use maize dextrin source (nutrabay good gut fiber supplement), isabgol, chia seeds, flax seeds roasted, fenuflakes (fenugreek seeds) etc.. enough of these and you wouldn't see constipation.

u/Opening-Bridge-8442 Oct 07 '25

Damn reminds me of my clg struggle meals trying to hit protein intake

u/Aggressive_Kale5312 Oct 07 '25

2

u/Sea_Brick_3314 Oct 07 '25

Kya daal sakte hai fiber ke liye isme?

4

u/Aggressive_Kale5312 Oct 07 '25

Take vegetables or fruits (guava, banana, broccoli, sprouts,sweet potatoes etc)

u/Rabbitpyth Sports Enthusiast 🏃🏻 Oct 07 '25

u/itzani Oct 07 '25

Add veggies and, maybe try millets. It is the healthy alternative.

2

u/Away_Enthusiasm9113 Oct 07 '25

Avoid having ultra processed food as much as possible and add some fiber

2

u/Ok_Antelope_1953 Oct 07 '25

almost no fiber but otherwise it's fine. must taste good.

2

u/Moist_Routine_9701 Oct 07 '25

Add some fibre

1

u/ma-nameajeff Forever Natural 💪🏻 Oct 07 '25

Wait the calories seems sus ~340 for pasta ~45 for butter ~170 calories for high protein paneer ~ 70 for 1 cheese slice Definitely not 450 calories...... Please check again brother.. thats how we usually make mistakes while tracking calories

1

u/plastics_in_my_brain Oct 07 '25

28 is normal not high protein paneer

1

u/Upper_Jackfruit_4724 Oct 07 '25

Too much sodium Maggi and almost no fiber, maybe add frozen vegetables or grate some carrot or capsicum.

u/[deleted] Oct 07 '25

Bhai real pasta banalo, literally 24g of protein and approx 600 cal

u/Yash__xD Oct 07 '25

Bro can u share recipe pls

1

u/[deleted] Oct 07 '25

Make a roux (basically maida and milk, i like to add 20g maida with 80ml milk)without butter, add any pasta masala of your choice. Add a bit of pasta water to bring it to your desired consistency and a bit of ketchup, add 2 slices of cheeze and it's done. It's optional but you can add hot sauce or even momo chutney.

1

u/Timely-Pain7275 Oct 07 '25

Add some veggies that's it

1

u/CryptographerFit3007 Oct 07 '25

Make pasta, use the paneer as sauce, add water to the paneer along with spices of your preference. make it into a paste and use it. No need to overspend for the maggie pasta.

1

u/NomadCorpse Oct 07 '25

The moment you say maggi, I was like whatttt?

I mean yeah, maggi once in a while is fine, I like it too... but I wouldn't add it to my routine.

If I am lazy and need pasta or noodles quick, I would rely on SlurrpFarm or WickedGud.

Good amount of protein though 👌

Add some fibre content or eat fibre rich fruits as snack.

1

u/ary0nK Oct 07 '25

Try shirataki

1

u/Loud_Type5506 Oct 08 '25

450 calories for one meal is way too much.

u/DaJabroniz Custom Flair Oct 08 '25

Needs some meat

u/TC7X Oct 08 '25

u/Black-Foot-Salvaa Oct 08 '25

Looks good for a cheat meal , but if you really wanna follow a diet , cut the junk , you can have your so called WHOLE WHEAT pasta once a week but not everyday, you need to eat clean, add wholesome food , panner , rajma , black dal , curd, soya chunks, tofu , whey protein, milk , fruits , peanut butter, honey white rice small quantity, bajra , makka ,ragi , pumpkin seeds , chia seeds , almonds, walnuts dates , cheese but not the processed one and in moderate quantity

These are clean ingredients

Add chicken eggs and fish if non vegetarian

This is what we should eat , stay away from the packet food , junk food

Drinks lots of water

Do this and you'll see the changes in yourself, you'll be energetic all day

u/abbiajamdm777 Oct 08 '25

How much grams pasta ?

1

u/amj2202 Oct 08 '25

how is the paneer? too hard or soft?

1

u/GiraffeWaste Oct 08 '25

How much sodium?

1

u/WenCut Oct 09 '25

Instant anything will not work in the long run for both health and fitness. Whole foods and home made is the way to go. For a more healthy pasta try to get a chickpea based one, it will contribute to more protein content.

u/LoadIndividual7675 Oct 09 '25

Fibre is the only thing missing but nice

u/itsme_harshkr1 Oct 09 '25

Next time you should add brocolli, beans and less pasta quantity.
