Is masala dosa good for a gym diet?
Not much protein: 2 g per 100 calories. Count it as energy and get your protein from dal, tofu or soya chunks.
The biggest share of its calories come from carbs (48%), then fat (43%) and protein (8%).
A gym meal usually aims for 25 g of protein or more, depending on your daily target. From this alone, that's 3.5 dosas (about 1250 calories). The same 25 g from soya chunks is about 170 calories.
What's in it
Made with rice, chana dal, urad dal, potatoes and onions, 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.
