Health Goals Suitability

Weight Loss

At just 143.5 kcal per serving, this is an excellent choice for weight management. The 6.7g of dietary fiber promotes satiety, helping you feel full longer.

Diabetes

With a low glycemic index of 40, this recipe supports stable blood sugar levels. The 6.7g fiber further slows glucose absorption.

Muscle Gain

Low protein content (3g per serving) — not sufficient alone for muscle building. Combine with high-protein sides like paneer, eggs, chicken, dal, or a protein shake to reach 25-30g protein per meal.

Heart Health

Zero cholesterol and low saturated fat (1.2g) make this heart-friendly. Low sodium content is ideal for blood pressure management.

PCOS

Low GI (40) with 6.7g fiber supports insulin sensitivity — key for PCOS management.

Thyroid

No goitrogenic ingredients — generally safe for thyroid conditions.

Portion Guidance

Weight Loss

1 Piece (~100g). A light, kcal-friendly portion. Pair with roti or salad for a complete meal under 300 kcal.

Muscle Gain

1 Piece (~100g) plus a protein-rich addition (100g paneer, 2 eggs, or 1 cup dal) to hit 25-30g protein per meal.

Diabetes

1 Piece (~100g). Pair with whole wheat roti (not rice) to lower glycemic load. Eat protein and fiber portions first, carbs last.

General

1 Piece (~100g) provides a balanced portion. Adjust based on your daily kcal target — track accurately in the Hint app.

Recipe Modifications

Lower fat

Reduce oil to 1 teaspoon and use an air fryer or non-stick pan. Steaming vegetables before adding retains flavor with less fat.

Boost protein

Add 50g paneer, a boiled egg, or a side of sprouted moong dal. Stirring in 1 tbsp of peanut butter also adds 4g protein.

Meal prep friendly

Avocado stores well for 2-3 days refrigerated. Reheat on stovetop for best texture. Prepare ingredients in advance for quick weeknight cooking.

Common Mistakes

Using too much oil or ghee

Why it matters: Excess oil can double the calorie content without adding nutritional value.

Fix: Measure oil with a tablespoon instead of pouring freely. 1 tbsp = 120 kcal.

Not measuring serving size

Why it matters: The nutrition values are for 1 standard serving. Eating 2-3x the serving means 2-3x the kcal (287.1-430.6 kcal).

Fix: Use the Hint app to scan and log the exact portion you eat for accurate tracking.
