Why
- 2.2 g protein per 100 kcal (low; chicken breast is about 22, plain rice about 2).
- 248 kcal a serving is 9% of a 2,800 kcal bulking day, and 5 g is 4% of 140 g protein.
- Fat gives 45% of its calories, mostly from the cooking fat, so the recipe matters more than the dish.
The portion to aim for
Even 4 kachori gives 22 g protein (990 kcal), so build the meal around another protein food.
