Calories in Indian Food

If you wish to lead a healthy lifestyle, it is essential to eat

nutrition rich food and exercise regularly. What you eat
directly affects your body fitness, so it becomes all the more
necessary to be aware about the number of calories in
Indian food and the nutritional value of the food you are
eating.

It is advisable to consult a dietician and gather knowledge

about the Indian food calories and then decide your meal.
Eating high calorie food item is not recommended for the
daily meal, but you can always relish them once in a month
or so.

If you get lured into trying fad foods, which you know contain
loads of fats, then you can consume it once in a while, but in
moderate quantity. But
then after that you
have to gear up
yourself for doing a vigorous workout, so as to shed off those
extra calories that have got stored in your body.

It's all about maintaining a balance and you will never put on
weight. If you've eaten more, so compensate it, by eating
light food in the next meal and by working harder, while
carrying out your workout. Keeping fit is in your hands, but
all that is required is a sincere effort and then nothing can
stop you from achieving success.

As vital is to eat healthy foods, that are low in calories,

equally important is to apply the right cooking method. You
should avoid items that demand deep-frying, because then
that would involve extensive usage of butter and oil, that will
shoot up your calorie intake, making you overweight.
Here is the calorie chart of Indian food, so keep a track of
the calorie intake and adopt healthy eating habits.

What Does 200 Calories Look Like?

 Some foods have significantly more Calories than others but what does the difference actually
look like. Each of the photographs below represents 200 Calories of the particular type of food; the
images are sorted from low to high calorie density. When you consider that an entire plate of
broccoli contains the same number of Calories as a small spoonful of peanut butter, you might
think twice the next time you decide what to eat. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture,
the average adult needs to consume about 2000 - 2500 Calories to maintain their weight. In other
words, you have a fixed amount of Calories to "spend" each day; based on the following pictures,
which would you eat?

Answers to some questions and other notes:

Why 200 Calories? We could have chosen any amount of Calories for this project, but we wanted
something that gave tangible volumes for the entire range of items. We felt that 100 Calories of
butter or oil would have yielded diminutive portion sizes; on the other hand 500 Calories of celery
would have been virtually incomprehensible.

How did you choose which foods to include in the project? Many of the items we chose just
happend to be in the wiseGEEK pantry; we chose the others because we wanted to display foods
in a wide variety of categories. We stayed away from prepared foods such as funnel cake and
spanakopita because their Caloric content is closely tied to the particular recipe used; we also
avoided some more obscure foods such as mangosteen and jackfruit.

The sorting can be misleading because items with liquid tend to appear less Calorie dense; thats
why you will find coke amongst the vegetables and cooked pasta significantly higher than
uncooked pasta.

All pictures were taken with the same camera (Nikon D70 digital camera) and with the same setup;
in other words, the portion sizes displayed are all relative to each other.

The plate is 10.25" (26cm) in diameter and the bowl is 6.25" (16cm)

This article deals with Calories only. Don't forget that there are other considerations when choosing
which foods to eat, such as nutritive value and diversity of your food choices.

The capital "C" in "Calories" throughout this article denotes dietary as opposed to physics calories.
