How to read this plan

This is a starting pattern for people who want less decision-making. It gives you three familiar meals and enough structure to notice what keeps you full, energetic, and consistent.

Do not worry about perfect macros on day one. First make the meals repeatable, then adjust portions or protein foods once the routine feels normal.

Protein sources
  • Oats
  • Soy milk
  • Dal
  • Tofu
Substitutions
  • Tofu -> soy chunks
  • Soy milk -> peanut curd
Easy swaps
  • Oats can become poha, upma, idli, or chilla if breakfast needs to be savory; add soy milk, dal, tofu, or sprouts elsewhere to keep protein up.
  • Tofu bhurji can be swapped with soy chunks, chana, rajma, or dal if tofu is not available.
  • Use any cooked vegetable sabzi at lunch; the habit matters more than the exact vegetable.
How to progress
  • After one consistent week, increase protein first if meals feel light or hunger returns quickly.
  • If digestion is uncomfortable, increase legumes gradually and drink enough water.
  • If you miss a meal, return to the next planned meal instead of trying to compensate perfectly.
Notes
Start with consistency, then adjust portions.
