Bodybuilding for Middle Class Indians in a Budget
We like bodybuilding but our food options are limited. But should that prevent us from getting a chiseled body?
No. Look around carefully; there are many items we have not noticed. However when we compare our food options against westerners, the scale tilts heavily in their favour. So, what is the way out?
The Easy Way Out for Indian Vegetarians in a Budget
We have two types of vegetarians: one, who eat only veggies and no eggs and two, who have both. Let us discuss the options for both, one by one. These options do not exceed your budget.
Pure Vegetarians who eat only veggies
Protein is the main item needed for building muscles and they can easily get from:
- Chickpeas (Chole)
- Rajmah (Kidney Beans)
- Chana (Bengal Gram)
- Lobia
- Daal (Lentils like Arhar, Masoor, Urad etc)
- Milk
- Curd
- The lentils (daal) you have already read about.
- Legume (peanuts), dry fruits (almonds) also can help you add proteins plus give many tasty options. Peanut and Almond butter both are tasty, add a crunchy taste to every dish you have and pack proteins as well.
- Mushrooms also pack protein, though not much. But use it with your meals and you have a variety of sources.
- Thick yogurt (Dahi) also packs much protein and is regarded a complex carbohydrate which does not increase your blood sugar.
- Milk is the source of whey & casein and naturally contains protein.
Conclusion When there is the will, there is the way. This saying is very true. Vegetarians also can build great bodies and there is no reason not to. You can choose from the plenty of options, use them judiciously and get yourself a great body. It is of utmost importance to keep altering between different protein sources just to keep interest and not get bored of any single item. Start today and show the world even vegetarians can build a great body that everyone admires.
