High Protien 'Singh' Food


Lion of Punjab

Is there a reason you only want 'foods'? Lentils (daal) and Pulses (beans, rajmah etc) are generally quite high in protein.

I assume you are weight training at high intensity levels; if not, then chances are you do not need additional protein as long daal is a regular part of your diet.

If you are a serious lifter then it is recommended that a vegetarian person supplement protein in their diet. Whey based isolate protein would be the ideal choice here. You can have it mixed with milk or juice or even water. However, I must caution you that for some people mixing it with milk can result is some pretty foul flatulence. Be very aware of that.

Another point to note is that the classic "eat 1g of protein per pound of body weight" rule does not appear to be backed up by any research (at least I haven't found any research supporting this yet). Even Olympic level athletes (not body builders, they are not athletes) consume around 0.75-0.85g of protein per pound of body weight. It need not be said, they are some of the strongest and fittest people on the planet!

I would advise against "kiyoou" (ghee); way too high in saturated fat! If you are going to eat it, at least make sure you do very intense exercise on a regular basis so that the fat doesn't build up in your arteries and clog them, leading to a heart attack in a few years.

Gheo was okay in old times as our forefathers did a lot of HARD labour all day thus anything they ate was easily digested by the body. Living in Western world, we need to be more careful as even the atmosphere is different than in India.

Eat a lot of roti, milk, dahi, cottage cheese, daalaan (plural), and kiyoou.

Lay off the dairy and the kiyoou, this diet will ensure you will never be an elite athlete. If you want to argue it fine, but just take a look at how many "Elite" Punjabi athletes their are on the world stage who follow this diet that's about a century old, made for people who were farming in 40 degree weather 15 hours a day, not the sedentary lifestyle of the west, we're behind the times on our diet.

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
