Aloo Paratha (1 Piece) and Whey Protein (Muscle Blaze) (1 Serving)

Have one smaller, thinner aloo paratha instead of a large or heavily stuffed one; use less potato and avoid added butter or ghee after cooking.

Add more non-starchy vegetables to the filling, such as cauliflower, spinach, cabbage, or fenugreek leaves, and use whole-wheat or chickpea flour for part of the dough.

Pair the meal with plain unsweetened Greek yogurt or curd rather than pickle, sweet chutney, juice, or a sugary drink.

Mix the whey protein with water or unsweetened milk and choose an unsweetened, low-carbohydrate whey powder; avoid flavored varieties with added sugar.

Eat a side salad with cucumber, tomato, leafy greens, and lemon before or alongside the paratha to increase fiber and slow the rise.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk after eating, and avoid making this meal your first food after a long fast if spikes are more noticeable then.
