7-day Assamese
diet plan

Built on rice, khar, masor tenga, aloo pitika, laai xaak, dal and very little oil — the food actually cooked in Assam, not a north Indian week with the names changed.

Coverage: This is the thinnest regional coverage on the site. The everyday pattern is right, but a majority of the distinctly regional dishes are estimates made for this site rather than measured values, and they are marked as such.

What a Assamese week looks like

Assamese cooking uses less oil and less masala than any other regional pattern in this list — boiling, steaming and light tempering do most of the work, and a sour fish curry replaces a heavy gravy. A meal opens with khar and closes with something sour. That makes it an unusually easy regional pattern to eat at a normal calorie level.

Staples this plan runs on: Rice, khar, masor tenga, aloo pitika, laai xaak, dal and very little oil. Where: Assam.

Estimated dishes used here: Laai Xaak, Aloo Pitika, Khar, Masor Tenga. These are not in the ThaliFacts dataset; each was built by recipe analysis and each carries its basis on the method page. They are marked est everywhere they appear.

How a Assam week is put on the chart

The meal library for this region is restricted to Assam's own dishes: rice, khar, masor tenga, aloo pitika, laai xaak, dal and very little oil. Nothing outside that list can appear.
Regional weeks are portioned to one reference band, 1,550–2,300 kcal, because the question here is what the region eats — not what a goal requires.
Each serving carries a stated weight; a meal is the sum of its servings, a day the sum of its five meals, the week the sum of its seven days.
Dishes missing from the underlying dataset were estimated for this site by recipe analysis and are marked est wherever they appear, never quietly substituted.
The plate chart re-reads the same servings by group, so the region's shape — rice-forward, coconut-forward, dal-forward — is visible before any number is read.

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

Adjusting it

At 1,623 kcal a day this week sits well below a typical adult maintenance intake — a mild deficit for many adults, and genuinely light for anyone active. To move it in either direction, the lever in Assam is the same as everywhere else and it is not the cuisine: it is the grain. One katori of rice instead of two, or two rotis instead of three, moves a day by two to three hundred calories on its own and leaves everything you actually taste untouched.

To push protein up without changing the character of the food, add a second katori of the dal or legume that is already on the plate. That is cheaper than any other option and it is already in your kitchen.

The questions that come after the chart

What does a normal Assamese day of food add up to?

On this plan, 1,623 kcal and 60.1 g of protein a day on average, across five eating occasions. Individual days run from 1,556 to 1,733 kcal. A festival day or a restaurant meal sits well above this.

Is this a real Assamese plan or a north Indian plan renamed?

It is built from Assam's own dishes: rice, khar, masor tenga, aloo pitika, laai xaak, dal and very little oil. Where a signature dish is not in the underlying nutrition dataset it has been estimated specifically for this site and marked, rather than swapped for a north Indian dish with a regional name attached.

Where does Assamese food usually go wrong nutritionally?

Can I use this to lose weight?

At 1,623 kcal a day this week sits well below a typical adult maintenance intake — a mild deficit for many adults, and genuinely light for anyone active — it was written to show what the region eats, not to create a deficit. If you want a deficit built on similar food, the goal-based plans are the place to start. The honest answer is that the regional pattern matters far less than the serving count: two katoris of rice instead of one moves the number more than the cuisine does.

Calories and macros are computed from the ThaliFacts dataset, which is based on the Indian Food Composition Tables 2017 (ICMR–NIN), plus the regional dishes estimated for this site and marked est wherever they appear.
