Is egg curry good for a gym diet?
It has some protein (4.6 g per 100 calories), but not enough to lean on. Pair it with eggs, paneer or dal to fill the gap.
Most of its calories come from fat (68%), then protein (18%) and carbs (14%).
A gym meal usually aims for 25 g of protein or more, depending on your daily target. From this alone, that's 3 bowls (about 550 calories). The same 25 g from egg white is about 120 calories.
What's in it
Made with tomatoes, green chillies, coriander leaves, ginger, onions and eggs, plus spices and cooking oil or ghee. Each extra teaspoon of oil or ghee adds about 44 calories, which is where home and restaurant versions differ most.
