1. Instead of chole bhature, she orders chole rice.
2. In place of hara bhara kebabs, she orders salad, like a kachumber salad commonly made with freshly-chopped tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, unripe mangoes, lemon juice, and sometimes chilli peppers.
3. Instead of ice cream, she has fruit popsicles when eating out.
4. Lastly, the fitness coach orders mixed vegetable soup in place of a rich tomato soup at a restaurant.
1. According to the fitness coach, one piece of bhatura is approximately 350 calories at least. Additionally, it's all refined flour and oil, which is bad for the gut. Therefore, she recommended eating rice instead. She said, 'One medium bowl of rice (100 g) is easiest to digest, and is just 120 calories.'
2. Per Ambika, we often order hara bhara kebab, thinking it's just paneer tossed in spices and served as kebab. But in reality, it's fried.
Whereas, a kachumber peanut salad is all vegetables with some roasted peanuts. Therefore, it's a low-calorie, nutritious snack.
3. The fitness coach explained that fruit popsicles hardly have 60 to 100 calories. 'Of course, colour and sugar additives can be there, but it's better than any other ice cream, which is loaded with cream, fat, and sugar, making it too high in calories and heavy for the gut,' Ambika explained.
4. Lastly, she explained that tomato soups are mostly loaded with cream, butter, and sometimes even served with added sugar, and on top of it, you get fried bread crumbs or bread rolls on the side
Whereas, a mixed vegetable soup is just finely chopped vegetables with some seasoning and a little bit of corn flour. This makes it a healthier and low-calorie option.
