Weight loss is an uphill battle. It doesn't end with you taking your workout routine seriously; it also involves maintaining a healthy lifestyle, including what you eat daily. However, eating healthy does not necessarily mean you should starve yourself; it involves tracking your calorie intake and eating more protein-rich meals.

So, if you are looking for a recipe, on June 30, Aarti Sharma, a fitness content creator who lost 17 kg, shared a dish she used to eat while trying to lose weight: a high-protein chilla made with low-fat paneer and soya chunks. Sharing the steps to make the chilla in an Instagram post, Aarti confessed that if she had to restart her weight loss journey – going from 80 kg down to 63 kg – the very first meal of her day would be the 'ultimate high-protein chilla.
According to Aarti, the dish is incredibly easy to make. She captioned the post, “Simple, filling, and loaded with protein – because consistency beats complicated recipes every single time. The easier and quicker it is to prepare, the more consistent I can remain.”
100g low-fat paneer
50g soya chunks
20g besan
Onion
Capsicum
Carrot
Salt and spices of your choice
Light oil brush
Calories (entire recipe): 460
Protein: 55g
In the end, Aarti added, “You can easily eat three chillas in one meal, and each chilla provides 15 grams of protein. They are so tasty that you can eat them every day. So, keep your meals simple, high in protein, and easy – and just watch the weight drop off.”
