I'm new to Mumbai and the only thing I'm eating right now is idli vada. I'm curious, what's the calorie count for this meal? And is it good for nutrition? I'm trying to make sure I'm eating healthy.

A typical serving of idli (2-3 pieces) and vada (1-2 pieces) contains approximately 250-400 calories, with a breakdown of 50-60g carbohydrates, 10-15g protein, and 10-15g fat; idli vada can be a nutritious option due to the presence of fermented rice and lentils, which provide probiotics, fiber, and essential amino acids, but be mindful of the oil used for frying vada and consider pairing with vegetables or sambar for added nutrition.

I'm working night shifts and I'm struggling with my weight. I usually sleep around 5 a.m., and I've been losing weight. Could you suggest a diet or any tips to help me stabilize my weight while working such hours?
Night shift work can disrupt metabolism and appetite. To maintain weight and energy, consider: Dietary Recommendations 1. Eat nutrient-dense foods: Focus on whole grains, fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and healthy fats. 2. Hydrate adequately: Drink plenty of water throughout the night shift. 3. Balance macronutrients: Aim for 15-20% protein, 25-35% fat, and 55-65% carbohydrates. 4. Snack smart: Choose energy-boosting snacks like nuts, fruits, and energy bars. 5. Avoid heavy meals: Eat light meals 2-3 hours before work to prevent indigestion. Meal Ideas 1. Breakfast (pre-shift): Overnight oats, whole-grain toast with avocado, or Greek yogurt with fruit. 2. Mid-shift snack: Fresh fruits, energy bars, or trail mix. 3. Dinner (post-shift): Grilled chicken or fish with vegetables, quinoa, or brown rice. 4. Before bed snack: Herbal tea with honey or a light, easily digestible snack. Additional Tips 1. Establish a consistent sleep schedule. 2. Exercise regularly, but avoid intense workouts before shifts. 3. Manage stress through relaxation techniques. 4. Limit caffeine and sugary drinks.
