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
Increase the protein portion (chicken/fish/eggs) by 50g, or serve with a side of Greek yogurt.
Reduce sodium
Cut salt by half and boost flavor with lemon juice, fresh herbs, or amchur (dry mango powder) instead.
Meal prep friendly
Scrambled egg 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.
Adding salt without measuring
Why it matters: Excess sodium increases blood pressure risk. Indian cooking already uses salt-heavy ingredients like pickles and chutneys alongside.
Fix: Use ½ teaspoon salt and taste before adding more. Account for sodium from other meal components.
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 (335.4-503.1 kcal).
Fix: Use the Hint app to scan and log the exact portion you eat for accurate tracking.
