Healthy Breakfast: The foundation of a healthy body rests on a healthy digestive system. Breakfast, in particular, has a profound impact on your digestion and intestinal health. Starting your day with a diet rich in fiber, light, and low in calories will not only keep your stomach healthy but also energize you throughout the day.
Indian cuisine boasts many traditional dishes that combine both taste and health. If you're looking to control your calorie intake, carefully selected breakfast items and the right portions can improve your gut health. Let's explore some Indian breakfasts that are both delicious and fit under 200 calories.
Calories: Approximately 180 (1 small cheela)
Moong dal cheela is light, fiber-rich, and protein-rich. It's light on the stomach and easy to digest. Adding ginger and cumin can further enhance its digestive properties. Remember to use minimal oil when frying the cheela.
Calories: Approximately 180 (2 small idlis)
Steamed idlis are made from a fermented mixture of rice and urad dal, making them naturally probiotic. Their soft and light texture makes them easy to digest. Serve with coconut or coriander chutney, but limit the amount of oil in the chutney.
Calories: About 180 (¾ cup)
Poha is light, low-calorie, and rich in fiber. Tempered with mustard seeds, curry leaves, and turmeric, it's combined with various vegetables. It promotes a beneficial probiotic environment in your intestines and aids digestion.
Calories: About 190 (1/2 cup)
Upma made from semolina (rava) is rich in fiber, complex carbohydrates, and minerals. You can add vegetables like carrots, peas, and beans to make it even more nutritious and easy on the stomach. Keep it light and healthy by cooking it in less oil.
Calories: Approximately 170 (1 small dosa)
Oats are rich in soluble fiber, which helps balance the gut microbiome. Grind oats with yogurt and spices to form a thin batter and fry them in a non-stick pan with very little oil. This dosa is not only delicious but also very beneficial for the stomach.
If you start your morning with these low-calorie, fiber-rich, and digestion-enhancing options, your gut will be happy and you'll feel energized throughout the day. Eating right, at the right time, and in the right amounts is the key to good health.
