For me the biggest challenge is counting the excact calories in my food.. I usually get an approx.. and try to stay under. and yeah carbs.. trying hard to replace the bad carbs with good carbs.. I am a bengali.. and I used to eat insane amount of rice.. nowadays.. I have started replacing it with atta roti.. and also even if I eat rice, I will go for half cup.. that is actually working.. still at times I give in to cravings..0

My biggest challenge so far staying away from carbs and consuming more protein. since i am vegetarian i have grown up eating carbs rich foods. Today is my first day at MFP and am still trying to figure out what r my options for protein and good carbs. Since i live in US, i think the whole wheat atta i get from indian grocery is mixed with maida though it says 100% whole wheaton the label. i am thinking of replacing wheat roti with either bajra or jowar roti instead. i hope i stay motivated to make these rotis for myself and the regular kind for my kids and husband becoz i know they won't like the other option.0

Like a lot of you, I also struggle in figuring out how to eat healthy the 'desi' way.
Being from the south, I grew up eating a lot of rice. These days I eat the sambar as a big bowl of soup. I get my protein and healthy vegetables in that manner. So that satisfies me for a couple of hours. Then I eat a snack like nuts or fruit and I am good until the next meal.
I will have dahi with a sabji mixed in and that helps me get my protein, vegetables, and carbs, since dahi has carbs.
It takes a little while for the body to adjust to this and accept it as enough quantity. The plate needs to be filled half with vegetables, quarter is carbs, and quarter is protein.0 -
