7-day weight loss diet plan
vegan, Indian

A moderate deficit built on the food you already eat, with the protein pushed up so the deficit is survivable.

What one day on this chart comes to

Seven-day average, per day

1,559kcal / day Day to day the chart runs 1,550–1,595 kcal, with 68–78 g of protein and 47.3 g of fibre — portioned to a 1,400–1,700 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

A deficit works when you can hold it for months, not when it is severe for ten days. This plan keeps roti, rice and dal on the table and moves the levers that actually matter: fewer refined-flour and deep-fried items, a protein source in every meal, and a fixed number of servings rather than an open plate.

Vegan: Vegan is harder in India than vegetarian for one reason: curd, paneer and milk carry a large share of a vegetarian plate's protein. This plan replaces them with more dal, more chana, soya chunks, peanuts and sattu, which are all cheaper than paneer anyway.

Nothing here is imported, powdered or seasonal-only. The chart runs on atta, rice, dal, chana, soya chunks, peanuts and sattu, 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: weight loss is portioned to 1,400–1,700 kcal a day with a floor of 70 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.

This site does not promise a rate of loss and cannot. How fast weight moves depends on your starting point, your activity, your sleep, your medication and a dozen things a web page cannot see.

The questions that come after the chart

How many calories a day is this vegan weight loss plan?

It averages 1,559 kcal a day across the seven days, ranging from 1,550 to 1,595 kcal. The plan was built to a target of 1,550 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?

72.1 g a day on average, with 47.3 g of fibre. Protein comes from dal, chana, soya chunks, peanuts and sattu — 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 ₹400 of groceries for one adult for the week at indicative metro retail rates, or about ₹60 a day. The biggest lines are vegetables, dal, fruit. 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. This site does not promise a rate of loss and cannot. How fast weight moves depends on your starting point, your activity, your sleep, your medication and a dozen things a web page cannot see. Take it to a doctor or a registered dietitian before you rely on it.

Calories and macros are computed from the ThaliFacts dataset, which is based on the இந்திய உணவுப் பொருள் கூறு அட்டவணைகள் 2017 (ICMR–NIN), plus the regional dishes estimated for this site and marked தோராயம் wherever they appear. Energy reconciles against 4P + 4C + 9F on every build. Every source, with the date it was last checked, is listed on the sources page. General information only — not medical or nutrition advice.
