How Indian lifters use Fish Curry
Every gram of protein you can source from real food beats a scoop. Weigh raw when you can — a '150g chicken' portion at a restaurant is often 90g cooked. Fat-forward — a little goes a long way, especially on a cut.
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
Moderate protein density (11g/100g). Not the cheapest protein per gram, but it doubles as a source of carbs and micronutrients — so it earns its rupee spend twice.
Common myth
"You need 2× the protein if you lift" — the evidence caps out around 1.6–2.2g/kg bodyweight. Anything above that is expensive urine.

Frequently asked
Is Fish Curry good for weight loss?
Yes if it fits your calorie budget — no food causes or prevents weight loss on its own. One 1 katori costs you 240 kcal; slot it into a daily deficit and it works fine.
How much Fish Curry should I eat per day?
Depends on your goal and total calorie target. A lifter cutting on 1800–2000 kcal typically uses 1–2 servings; someone bulking on 2800+ can comfortably fit 3+. Weigh, don't eyeball.
Is Fish Curry high in protein?
Not really — 11g per 100g. Treat it as a fat source and pair it with a dedicated protein anchor.
Can I eat Fish Curry pre or post workout?
Skip it in the pre-workout window — fat slows gastric emptying. Post-workout it's fine as part of a mixed meal.
