Why it works

Cottage cheese (paneer) is complete-protein, rich in casein (slow-digesting), which keeps you full and supports muscle preservation in a deficit.

When to eat it

Bulking breakfasts · high-protein vegetarian lunches · post-workout.

What to watch

Use minimum oil; full-fat paneer adds 15g fat per cup. Pair with 2 roti or 1 cup brown rice for full meal.

Perfect pairing

2 whole-wheat roti + 1 cup curd + cucumber salad = ~700 kcal, 35 g protein complete meal.
