Health Goals Suitability

Weight Loss

At just 98.2 kcal per serving, this is an excellent choice for weight management. The 3.2g of dietary fiber promotes satiety, helping you feel full longer.

Diabetes

With a low glycemic index of 50, this recipe supports stable blood sugar levels. The 3.2g fiber further slows glucose absorption.

Muscle Gain

Low protein content (4.7g 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

Low cholesterol (9.8mg) and low saturated fat (1.9g) make this heart-friendly. Anti-inflammatory ingredients benefit overall heart health. Low sodium content is ideal for blood pressure management.

PCOS

Low GI (50) with 3.2g fiber supports insulin sensitivity — key for PCOS management. Anti-inflammatory ingredients like turmeric and ginger are especially beneficial for PCOS.

Thyroid

No goitrogenic ingredients — generally safe for thyroid conditions. The iron content supports thyroid hormone production. The spices aid digestion, which can be sluggish in hypothyroidism.

Portion Guidance

Weight Loss

1 Small Cup (~197.5g). A light, kcal-friendly portion. Pair with roti or salad for a complete meal under 300 kcal.

Muscle Gain

1 Small Cup (~197.5g) plus a protein-rich addition (100g paneer, 2 eggs, or 1 cup dal) to hit 25-30g protein per meal.

Diabetes

1 Small Cup (~197.5g) provides a balanced portion. Adjust based on your daily kcal target — track accurately in the Hint app.

Recipe Modifications

Boost protein

Meal prep friendly

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

Common Mistakes

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 (196.4-294.6 kcal).

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