The ‘no-chicken’ protein plan<\/p>\n

While many fitness enthusiasts rely on poultry, Srikanth\u2019s list focuses on high-volume, nutrient-dense staples in many kitchens. Srikanth’s main message: You don’t need to change what you are (a vegetarian or a non-chicken eater) to change how you look and feel. It\u2019s all about the portions.<\/p>\n

Srikanth’s suggested daily intake includes:<\/p>\n

\u29bf 230 g paneer<\/a><\/p>\n

\u29bf 80 g (raw) soya chunks<\/p>\n

\u29bf 60 g (raw) kidney beans (rajma)<\/p>\n

\u29bf 4 whole egg + 5 egg white<\/p>\n

\u29bf 200 ml butter milk<\/p>\n

\u29bf 350 ml milk<\/p>\n

Why this matters for moms<\/p>\n

As we age, maintaining muscle mass becomes critical for metabolic health and bone density. Srikanth\u2019s approach highlights weight loss<\/a> through satiety, noting that these high-protein sources keep you full longer, making it easier to manage weight without feeling deprived.<\/p>\n

By including familiar items like rajma and paneer, the fitness coach aims to bridge the gap between ‘gym diets’ and traditional home cooking. The addition of dairy \u2014 milk and buttermilk \u2014 provides an easy way to sip on extra protein throughout the day.<\/p>\n
