As per ICMR and IMRB data, 7 out of 10 adults in India have poor intake of protein. 73% of urban Indian adults have diets that are deficient in protein while 82% do not consume right sources or type of protein.

      It is a myth that proteins are only found in non-vegetarian foods like eggs, poultry, fish, seafood and meats.

      There are plenty of vegetarian sources as well and these may actually be healthier options like milk, curd, paneer, soya and tofu, dals and legumes, nuts, seeds, whole grains, plant based diets may lack some essential amino acids which could be obtained by combing foods such as whole grains and legumes or consuming good quality protein supplements.

      As per The Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) an average adult should consume about 1g of protein per kg of body weight every day.

      However due to lack of awareness there is protein deficiency especially in vegetarian people. There are simple solutions to it, they should try and add a protein in every meal. Legumes, sprouts, dals, milk and milk products, whey, soya, pea, egg, and non-vegetarian food items are some of the good sources of protein. Also, one should remember that overconsumption of protein can be harmful.
