View allI'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 trying to figure out if eating egg yolks is bad for my health. I've always heard there are differences between egg whites and yolks in terms of nutrition, so I'm wondering if having two whole eggs a day is okay. Can you shed some light on the pros and cons of both parts of the egg?
Egg white contains no cholesterol while the egg yolk contains 210 mg. An egg white has 0.24 grams of carbohydrates, where as an egg yolk has 0.61 grams of carbohydrates. The yolk contains 100% of the carotenoids, essential fatty acids like omega-3 fatty acid DHA and omega-6 fatty acid arachidonic acids.Protein helps your body build strong muscles and maintain muscle mass as you age. Heart-healthy. While egg yolks are fine in moderation, if you are already at risk for heart disease or stroke, your doctor may recommend a heart-healthy diet. With no cholesterol, egg whites are a great addition.

I'm really struggling with a strong craving to eat raw rice, and I find myself doing it a lot. I've noticed that I've put on weight because of this, and I really want to stop. Could this be happening because I'm lacking something in my diet? What can I do to overcome this craving?
Eating raw rice excessively, a condition known as pica, can be a sign of iron deficiency anemia. To address this issue, you can start taking iron supplements such as Ferrous Sulfate 325mg once daily. Additionally, incorporating iron-rich foods in your diet like spinach, red meat, and fortified cereals can help. It is important to consult with a healthcare provider for proper evaluation and management of your condition.
