7-day maintenance diet plan
eggetarian, Indian

An ordinary, sustainable Indian day at roughly a maintenance intake — the plan for when nothing needs to change quickly.

What one day on this chart comes to

Seven-day average, per day

2,050kcal / day Day to day the chart runs 2,049–2,051 kcal, with 81–101 g of protein and 43.7 g of fibre — portioned to a 1,900–2,200 kcal band and sitting inside it on the average. No figure here was typed in: each one is the sum of the servings printed below it.

Shopping for this week Work the target out on paper How the plate is portioned

What this chart is portioned for

Most diet content assumes you want to lose weight. Plenty of people just want a sane default: enough food, enough protein, enough fibre, no fixation. This is that plan.

Eggetarian: Eggs are the single cheapest complete protein available in India, and adding them to an otherwise vegetarian plate closes the protein gap almost by itself. Two eggs cost less than a katori of paneer and carry similar protein.

Nothing here is imported, powdered or seasonal-only. The chart runs on atta, rice, dal, chana, curd, paneer and peanuts and eggs, and whatever vegetables are in the market this week — which is the only kind of chart anyone actually keeps to.

How a goal becomes a daily portion

The goal fixes a band, never a single number: maintenance is portioned to 1,900–2,200 kcal a day with a floor of 65 g protein and 30 g fibre.
Every meal in the library is a real combination of real servings, each with a stated weight. Nothing is scaled, shaved or rounded to make a total land.
The build chooses which meals sit on which day so the week falls inside that band and clears both floors, without repeating a meal on consecutive days.
A day total is the literal sum of the five meal figures printed beside it; the weekly average is those seven printed days divided by seven. Add them yourself and you get the same answer.
The plate chart re-reads the same servings by group rather than by meal — served grams in, katori and energy share out.

serving   = per-100 g value  x  serving weight (g)  /  100
meal      = SUM of its servings
day       = SUM of its 5 meals        week = SUM of 7 days
per day   = week / 7
katori    = served grams / 150 g
plate %   = group served grams / day served grams

How to actually use it

Treat the serving counts as the plan and the dish names as suggestions. Two rotis is the plan; whether they sit beside bhindi or lauki changes almost nothing. If you swap a dish, swap it for something in the same family — a katori of dal for a katori of dal, not a katori of dal for a katori of kheer.

The single biggest source of error between this page and your kitchen is fat. Every figure assumes an ordinary home hand with the oil: about a teaspoon per person in a sabzi, a teaspoon in the tadka. Double the oil and a day like Day 3 gains roughly 200 kcal without a single extra dish appearing on the table.

Maintenance is personal. The number here is a common adult figure, not yours — work out your own on the calorie target page.

The questions that come after the chart

How many calories a day is this eggetarian maintenance plan?

It averages 2,050 kcal a day across the seven days, ranging from 2,049 to 2,051 kcal. The plan was built to a target of 2,050 kcal, which is a common figure rather than your figure — work out your own on the calorie target page.

How much protein does it give?

90.0 g a day on average, with 43.7 g of fibre. Protein comes from dal, curd, paneer and eggs — no supplement is assumed anywhere in this plan.

Can I swap meals between days?

Yes, and you should. The days are interchangeable by design: each one is built from the same pool of meals and lands in the same band. Swapping Tuesday's lunch onto Friday changes nothing that matters. What changes the plan is changing the serving counts.

What does a week of this cost?

Roughly ₹700 of groceries for one adult for the week at indicative metro retail rates, or about ₹100 a day. The biggest lines are curd, paneer, eggs. That is an indicative figure, not a price index — see the grocery list for the full working.

Is this plan safe to follow?

It is illustrative, not prescriptive. It is built on average composition data for typical home cooking and cannot know your health, your medication, your allergies or your activity. Maintenance is personal. The number here is a common adult figure, not yours — work out your own on the calorie target page. Take it to a doctor or a registered dietitian before you rely on it.
