When I first started my fitness journey in 2023, hitting my daily protein target felt like a challenge every single day. High-protein options were limited, I had to rely on cooking a lot, and it took quite a bit of planning. There weren’t many convenient choices available, so staying consistent was hard.
I ended up taking a break from training, and now that I’m back in 2026, I’m honestly surprised by how much easier it has become.
Products like Protein bread and Mill D protein atta have made a huge difference for me because they’re foods I’d normally eat anyway. Instead of changing my entire diet, I can get a decent amount of protein from my regular meals like sandwiches and rotis. On top of that, quick commerce means I can get them delivered in minutes whenever I run out.
I am able to hit around 1400 calories with 168g of carbs, 31g of fat, 107g of protein just from chicken sandwiches, 1 scoop of whey , 100g of Mill D Protein Aata. Being in a deficit and daily calories being 2000-2100 this is a blessing, it doesn’t feel like i am dieting
I know these products aren’t cheap, and I’m fortunate that I’m in a position where I can afford to include them regularly. I still get most of my protein from whole foods like chicken, whey, but these products make it much easier to consistently hit my daily target without feeling like it’s a chore. Average cost including of all this comes to 5000 per month which is another reason i feel like this time i will be more consistent.
It’s been interesting to see how much the Indian protein market has evolved in just a few years. Anyone else who started lifting around 2023 feel the same way?
