In an Instagram post shared on February 16, he addressed a common concern in many households: parents — specifically mothers — often fall short of their daily protein requirements.
The ‘no-chicken’ protein plan
While many fitness enthusiasts rely on poultry, Srikanth’s list focuses on high-volume, nutrient-dense staples in many kitchens. Srikanth’s main message: You don’t need to change what you are (a vegetarian or a non-chicken eater) to change how you look and feel. It’s all about the portions.
Srikanth’s suggested daily intake includes:
⦿ 230 g paneer
⦿ 80 g (raw) soya chunks
⦿ 60 g (raw) kidney beans (rajma)
⦿ 4 whole egg + 5 egg white
⦿ 200 ml butter milk
⦿ 350 ml milk
Why this matters for moms
As we age, maintaining muscle mass becomes critical for metabolic health and bone density. Srikanth’s approach highlights weight loss through satiety, noting that these high-protein sources keep you full longer, making it easier to manage weight without feeling deprived.
By including familiar items like rajma and paneer, the fitness coach aims to bridge the gap between ‘gym diets’ and traditional home cooking. The addition of dairy — milk and buttermilk — provides an easy way to sip on extra protein throughout the day.
Is 150 grams right for everyone?
