How Indian lifters actually use Almonds (10)

Almonds, peanuts, cashews are ~600 kcal per 100g. A 'handful' is 30g and adds 180 kcal — easy to double without noticing on a bulk, deadly on a cut. Fat-forward — a little goes a long way, especially on a cut. The dish is most common in all kitchens, but works anywhere in India — the ingredients are pantry-standard.

Where it fits in your day

Fat-dense foods sit heavy — keep them earlier in the day or on the meal furthest from training. Skip them in the pre-workout window; fat slows gastric emptying and can leave you sluggish under the bar.

Cost & convenience (India)

High protein density (20.8g/100g). In India, this makes it one of the more cost-effective ways to hit daily protein — cheaper per gram than most imported whey brands. Buy in bulk and store correctly to bring the cost down further.

Common myths

"Nuts are a free snack" — they're the most calorie-dense food most people touch. Weigh them once, remember what 30g looks like, then stop guessing.
