Dieters Manual
f theres one thing even the most casual dieter knows for certain, it is the importance of keeping a daily track of the calories he takes in. Unfortunately, this is easier said than done. Reason: The paucity of reliable data on the caloric values of Indian foods. There are several factors responsible for this dietary roadblock: (a) the lack of significant research in the area of food analysis; (b) the fact that, unlike the West, where most of the population relies on ready-to-serve meals or packaged foods that have been calibrated down to the last decimal, we are still a people that relies on home cooking (think: a 1000 permutations, combinations and as many caloric values for a single dish!); (c) again, unlike the West, where government policy makes it compulsory for food manufacturers and restaurateurs to reveal caloric data, no such rules bind our food sellers... And so on and so forth. Given this sad state affairs, you can understand the dieters dilemma. How is he supposed to stay within his prescribed dietary limits if, say, he cant even guess at what a breakfast of idli-sambar or a dinner of dabba gosht and parathas could bring in, energy wise? Sure, there are dozens of little booklets in the market aimed at the dedicated dieter that list foods and their caloric values, but a close analysis of these typically reveal that they are the works of charlatans. Following a diet based on such unreliable data can have serious consequences on someone who is watching his weight for health reasons. (But even the casual dieter can be unpleasantly surprised to learn that a daily intake of a
mere 100 extra calories a day could mean atleast 10 pounds of additional baggage at the end of the year.) Since readers of Health & Nutrition have long been clamouring for the caloric data of Indian foods, we went back to a little manual published over 10 years ago by the College of Home Science, Nirmala Niketan for material. As far as we know, barring a few minor blips, the Calorie Counter is one of the most reliable and painstakingly researched compendium of its kind. (The National Institute of Nutrition, Hyderabad, has also brought out a similar booklet, but on a more limited scale.) The following special section that the college has kindly permitted Health & Nutrition to reproduce, is an excerpt from the manual, and provides not only a comprehensive list of caloric values of common Indian foods, but also menu plans to help dieters lose weight. Follow their advice and youll know that youre on the right track! Note: The Calorie Counter also has recipes for all the foods it has listed, so its worthwhile to get hold of a copy if you can!

THE DIET PRESCRIPTION
o lose weight and to maintain the loss over the long term, dieticians recommend that you attempt to drop no more than half a kg a week (anything more will require a doctors supervision). Men are therefore advised to get atleast 1800 calories per day, while women can get by with 1400 calories. The following diet plan has been based on these figures and is conveniently divided into 3 meals and one snack. A midmorning or late night snack, may also be included provided the calories are adjusted with the nearest main meal.
Breakfast Lunch Tea Dinner
400 500 350 550
cals Breakfast cals Mid morning cals OR Lunch cals Tea Dinner
400 100 500 300 500
cals cals cals cals cals
For women, the 1400 cal diet prescription may be similarly divided as follows: Breakfast 350 cals Breakfast 300 cals Lunch 400 cals Lunch 350 cals Tea 250 cals OR Tea 250 cals Dinner 400 cals Dinner 400 cals Late night 100 cals The diet prescriptions mentioned above however have to be further individualised from person to person.
Menus have been worked out for 300-400 cal. meals. Caloric value of average portions of many Indian dishes have been worked out for quick reference. It is important to remember that these values will change according to the amount of fat used in cooking and also the use of ingredients such as coconut, nuts and cream. CALORIE COUNTING Substitution of one food for another is possible in each of the suggested menus but the new food chosen should preferably be from the same group and contain approximately the same number of calories. The Calorie Counter is provided to help in this calculation. The 100 calorie exchange list makes it easier still.

The 100 Calorie Exchange Calorie counting becomes very quick and easy when working with units of 100 calories. The 100 calorie portions of food listed below are based on average caloric values. They are useful to gauge quickly the calorie value of a meal. 1 Exchange = 100 cals
CEREALS Each of the following provides 100 kcal. You can have 6-12 exchanges/ servings each day (depending on age, sex and physical activity). Rice (cooked) Bread Rava Upma Chapati Phulkas Puris Rice Flakes (Poha)
1 katori 1½ big or 2 small slices 1 katori 1 2 4-5 1 katori

The 100 calorie exchange list makes selection of menus of fixed calorie value very simple. Taking one exchange from each group, the following menus are possible.
Poultry or Fish Meat/Beef muscle Mutton/Egg
1 serving 1 serving 1 serving
FAT Each of these gives you 100 kcal. You can have 2-3 exchanges each day. Ghee/Vanaspati/Oil Butter

One can choose any one food from each exchange. e.g. ä Rice or chapati or paratha or pulav ä Dal or sambar or meat or fish ä Vegetable ä Curds ä Fruit ä Fat (used in cooking). However to keep to the 450 cals per meal, the amounts specified for each food must be strictly maintained e.g. 1c rice or 1 large chapati or 2 small phulkas or ½ paratha. Since 1 fat exchange = 5 gms., the amount of fat used in cooking is minimum. This may be increased slightly if skim milk is substituted for whole milk. It is important to consume foods from each group in order to ensure a balanced meal.
CALORIC VALUE OF PREVALENT INDIAN FOODS
Caloric value of commonly used Indian foods have been calculated according to estimated average servings. Portion size has been estimated according to number of pieces or volume in terms of 1 tea cup or 1 medium katori = 150 ml. The weights given are for edible portion only, after cooking. It must be noted that caloric values vary greatly, according to size and density of each piece and the amount of fat used in cooking. In the following calculations, amount of fat per person varies generally between 5-10 gms. for each recipe. Estimation of meat per person varies from 50-100 gms. depending on the type of recipe, 50 gms. in gravies and curries and 100 gms. in dry preparations such as roast or cutlets. The use of coconut, nuts and cream will also change caloric values considerably. Calculations of ones dietary intake is not intended to be a mathematical exercise. It is safe to assume a caloric variation of 25-50 calories on most combination recipes. It is therefore an unnecessary waste of time to calculate calories to the last decimal place. The calorie counter helps one to judge at a quick glance the energy value of the food one takes. It also helps to judge portion size more accurately. All too often, we eat too much without being aware of it. A daily record of the food one takes, the amount consumed and place, is very helpful to accurately estimate what one is eating, how much and where it is consumed. e.g.
Bed Tea Pea Nuts Ice Cream
1c 2 tbsps. 1c
7 a.m. T.V. 9 p.m. Cinema 7 p.m.
This can be calculated to give the average caloric intake per day. A seven-day record is more accurate if one has the
patience since weekend eating is usually different from the week day pattern of eating.
