Explore The Best Breakfast Choices For Weight Loss 

The first meal of the day is breakfast. Breakfast is good for your mental and physical well-being. Healthy food gives the body what it needs to start the day by replenishing blood sugar or glucose.

Breakfast is crucial for individuals of all ages, particularly kids and teenagers. Breakfast eaters are more likely to be more focused, capable of solving problems, and have better hand-eye coordination. 

They might also be more creative and aware. A hearty and nutritious breakfast generally helps prevent many lifestyle disorders, including diabetes, PCOD, and hypertension.

In English, "breakfast" means ending the fast from the previous night. There are a variety of "typical" or "traditional" breakfast alternatives, with cuisine selections varying globally based on geography and custom.

5 Simple Vegan Breakfast Ideas

There are plenty of vegan breakfast options available. Your morning meal with a delicious vegan spread gives your body the nutrition it needs. Nonetheless, milk, bread and butter, an omelette, and scrambled eggs make up the majority of Indians' breakfasts. Here are some vegan options for Indian breakfast that you can try from ToneOp:

1. Roti/Paratha With Vegan Curd Or Sabzi

A great and easy vegan breakfast option is paratha/roti with sabzi, a North Indian breakfast classic. To make a complete meal, add some vegan curd to the mixture. Steer clear of butter and ghee when cooking. To make your paratha even more delicious and nutrient-dense, stuff it with veggies like potatoes, cauliflower, radish, and coriander.

2. Dosa/Idli With Chutney And Sambar

Sambar and idli/dosa make a pretty simple breakfast. Sambar is a hot curry with vegetables, including onion, carrots, and tomatoes. Since split black gram and rice are used to make idli/dosa, they are high in fibre. Together, they make a delicious vegan breakfast.

3. Upma

Upma, also known as rava upma, is a traditional breakfast dish that is a savoury porridge prepared with a mixture of vegetables and semolina. This makes a tasty and nutritious dinner, especially with filter coffee or vegan chai.

4. Besan Chilla 

In North India, besan chillas are a well-known dish that is both vegan and gluten-free. They are made by creating crepes using a spicy chickpea flour batter, which is easy to prepare.

5. Dalia

Dalia, also called broken wheat porridge, is a well-liked and nourishing vegan breakfast option. It is tasty and an excellent source of fibre, protein, and essential nutrients such as iron and magnesium. 

7 Recipes For Egg Breakfasts

Here are a few recipes for egg breakfasts:

1. Mughlai Paratha

The quintessential Indian staple, parthas go well with almost anything. One such variation with a sizable fan base is Mughlai Paratha. From West Bengal, India, to Bangladesh, people love the traditional Bengali street food known as mughlai paratha, fried to perfection and loaded with eggs.

2. Baked Eggs

Onions, cherry tomatoes, and other seasonings are added to whisked eggs before they are cooked to perfection. It produces one of the greatest breakfasts, full of protein.

3. Parsi Eggs

Scrambled eggs with subtle spices, a traditional Parsi dish, are eaten with bread, buns, or pav.

4. Indian Style Omelet

Stir-fried spicy eggs with tomatoes, onions, and fragrant spices. A quick, easy, and savoury typical Indian morning food is the masala omelette. It's a fantastic high-protein breakfast option from India. 

5. Bhurji Egg

Nothing matches a spicy, delicious egg bhurji paired with parathas for a hearty breakfast. All vegetarians love this scrambled egg recipe since it is so easy and quick to make.

6. Cheese And Egg Wrap

The most portable and all-inclusive source of nutrients is an egg. Protein, vitamins, and minerals like calcium, phosphorus, iron, and lecithin are all included. While there are many methods to cook eggs, the three most common ones in this recipe for breakfast are scrambled, poached, and boiled.

7. Sandwich Egg With Mayo 

The mayo sandwich is a quick, simple, and distinctive recipe. Its origins are in British cooking. 

7 Breakfast Choices For Professionals In The Workforce

Replace the standard breakfast menu with these delicious and nourishing alternatives:

1. Vegetable and cottage cheese sandwich

2. Substituted Chicken

3. Chaat Fruit

4. Fresh Fruit and Oatmeal

5. The Sandwich Tiranga

5. Poha

7. Sprout Cutlets with Moong

The Advantages Of Eating Breakfast

Individuals who consume a nutritious breakfast are more likely to experience the following advantages:

Increases your level of focus and productivity all day long. This may be the result of glucose, the brain's main energy supply, being restored. 

Eating breakfast can help people lose weight by lowering their appetite later in the day, which helps them avoid junk food at later meals. 

People who eat breakfast tend to be more energetic and exercise more than many people who skip breakfast. It keeps them in shape and busy.

Research indicates that people who eat a nutritious breakfast consume less cholesterol than those who don't.

The Final Say

Having a nutritious breakfast is essential for individuals of all ages since it enhances focus, productivity, and energy levels. It also helps prevent lifestyle disorders such as diabetes, PCOD, and hypertension. There are numerous vegan and egg-based breakfast options that are both delicious and nutritious. Furthermore, substituting unhealthy breakfast choices with wholesome alternatives can provide nourishment and aid in weight loss

That last ask apparently got a reply to it per my friend.

>Dry aged beef steak and hearty beef tacos are in his favorite foods, though. I don’t think he dislikes heavy meats. I think he hates cheese based on his disliked foods, though. He not like the cheesy champion. Angry. Catboy no cheeseborgar.

This stems from a misconception about the game’s food mechanics! While TWEWY had five food tiers with different quotes, NEO has four food tiers but only three different sprites/voice lines, which can cause confusion. However, characters have foods that they ‘dislike’ (1/4), ‘tolerate’ (2/4), ‘like’ (3/4), and ‘love’ (4/4). I should note that I didn’t make this up; the official Japanese guidebook sets them into four tiers (shown as a batsu, triangle, maru, and double maru respectively).

You may have noticed that eating certain foods increases your drop rate, but other foods do not. Foods in the ‘love’ tier (4/4, ◎ mark) have a chance to increase drop rate—unlike any other food—and have the highest chance to incur food bonuses such as extra stats. The fourth tier thus differs mechanistically from the third, and the official guidebook differentiates between the two tiers.

When I refer to Minamimoto’s favourite foods, I am referring to the ones in the 4/4 ◎ tier. These are: Ice Cream Float, SKO Sandwich, Superhero Soda, Dark Chocolate Dream, Ruby Chocolate Delight, Strawberry Boba Latte, Mango Boba Latte, Very Berry Bouquet, Farm-Fresh Cream Cone, Chocolate Soft Serve, Berry Blend Tea, Bubbly Berry Blend, Masala Dosa, Anko Dango Skewer (also referenced in a goroawase pun), Crispylicious Taiyaki, Fluffy Pancake Stack, and Creamy Berry Shaved Ice. No meat! (The masala dosa served in-game lists potatoes, lentils, rice, sambar, and chutney amongst its ingredients. No meat.)

You’ll note from this that Minamimoto seems to especially adore berry-flavoured desserts. I think that all of the berry-favoured sweets are on his favourites list, while not all chocolate ones are, for example.  He has berry particular taste.

AMC-sama isn’t implying that Minamimoto hates all meat. Rather, she correctly points out that he dislikes meat the most out of the cast. He certainly isn’t a vegetarian or something like that, but every other character has at least one meat-containing dish on the 4/4 tier. Thus Minamimoto doesn’t say that he hates all 29, merely that 29 isn’t  his thing and that when he does like it, he prefers it well-done.

Thanks for tuning in to this random aside on a joke blog. I have a translated version of the food list from the guidebook available if you want to review it for yourself: doc (dot) google (dot) com/spreadsheets/d/1Q5QloDNAEqoJz3M4CF2617C9kbR_WMEYEpy2J7wVJF0

Day 3: The Claridges - New Delhi

11th March 2023

It was one of those tossing and turning type of nights, I dozed off ok but very soon my eyes sprang open, my mind buzzed with information and any further sleep was out of the question.

The alarm finally rang at 6.45am, that was when my eyes suddenly felt heavy, I felt myself falling into a spiral of darkness and then total oblivion, only to be awoken at 7.20am with a cup of tea.

Breakfast was sensational, absolutely gorgeous and I indulged myself totally. I started with a freshly cooked masala dosa, followed by a couple of idli sambhar and then continental cheese and crackers. It was washed down with copious amounts of masala chai.  Our guide, Ashok appeared at 9.30am on the dot and went through the day’s itinerary and askied us if we were happy to go with the flow.

I am so pleased we agreed with him because it’s been such a fabulous, eye opening, informative and enjoyable day.  We boarded our transport, however our driver had morphed over night into Punkaj and he turned up with his mate Sanjeev, who appeared to be riding shot gun. I also think the Tempo was different as well because the the seats had miraculously changed colour.

It was decided amongst the four of us that we were ok with the new arrangement and we ventured forth into the Delhi sunshine.

Our first stop was the Akshardham Temple which opened in 2005 and over 300 000 000 hours went into the making of this construction and over 8000 volunteeers from across the world participated in building it.

The Temple is a humble tribute to Bhagwan Swaminarayan, who died in the 18th Century, and Hinduism and it stands as an eternal place of devotion, purity and peace.

We were early so, although there was a queue forming, we were able to enter the complex quite swiftly.

My first impression was one of utter amazement, I felt that I had walked onto a film set.

The building was just magnificent and stood out against the blue sky and Delhi skyline, I gaped open mouth at it in absolute awe and wonder. It was truly beautiful.

Unfortunately we were not allowed to carry any cameras or phones with us so the only photo I have of this incredible Temple is a crooked one that Sanjeev took for me from the car park.

The lines were divided into male and female and on asking Ashok why, his answer was “ its tradition “. 

Anyway Rita and I followed the female line and I was promptly stopped, my arm grabbed and a soldier type lady started scrolling through my smart watch muttering something about whether it could recieve phone calls. To make things simple, I told her that my watches only facility was step counting which she seemed to accept.

The grounds, steps and surrounding area were immaculate so it wasn’t  such a big deal removing our shoes and beside the marble underneath my footfall was lovely and warm.

Inside, the Temple has many chambers and I inspected each one closely, there was Shiva, the Destroyer, the Preserver and the Creator, there was Lord Krishna and his girlfriend Radha and as I immersed myself into these deities, I heard the first strains of  the priests singing the Aarti.

In a flash I was a child again and singing the Aarti with my mum, I closed my eyes tight, tears clinging to my eyelashes and listened with my hands clasped in abeyance, a state of temporary suspension. I heard nothing except the voice of my mum chanting these exact same words.

From Akshardham we negotiated our way to Old Delhi, Ashok couldn’t believe that we had never walked its narrow streets.  The calm and peace of New Delhi was instantly shattered as we appeared to cross an imaginary line and straight into  a cacophony of horns and voices, thumps and bangs.

We parked up nearby and so began my 20 near misses with death. We alighted from the Tempo and straight into a video game of careering motorbikes, scooters, rickshaws, tuk tuks’s and people .

Ashok led the way, brazenly sticking his hand in the air and walking out in front of vehicles shooting around in every direction. I tried to show the same confidence, however it was impossible to keep up, scooters in front blaring horns at me, some creeping up from behind, other shooting out from side roads. I had so many near misses so it was a case of having eyes in the front, side and back of my head, and as for the pavements with its loose stones, huge puddles of water and debris , it was a real achievement that I didn’t take a tumble.

Then the people, they too come from all angles, carrying children, carrying large bundles on their heads, bags of shopping and they too all have a mission, everyone has a place to go, things to encounter and places to be.

We went down one narrow lane after another taking in the sights and smells of the real India, the shop fronts were awash with coloured garlands, heady spices hung in the air, young men were smoking, old men were drinking tea, ladies with  the corners of their sari’s floating  behind them were in rickshaws urging the driver to move faster, stray dogs snored in the gutters and children played in the gutter, smiling up at us with their  big black eyes and brilliant white smiles as we walked past them.

Finally we came upon a Rickshaw Rank, a queue of motorised and cycle rickshaws waiting for fee paying customers. I couldn’t even get into one, it was so high up, however I got a helping push up from Tony, hard enough to jolt me upwards and into the seat.

So instead of worrying about ending my life as a pedestrian, I was actually in one of the things that could’ve caused it ! We were in a pedal shaw, the little, wirey man peddled furiously and with strengths and determination I certainly did not possess by this time and we made good head way, on occasion he would shout a profanity, as he had no horn, to get people out of the way.

We got back to the Tempo and it was a release to sit and gulp some water down.  Punkaj revved up the engine and we skidded out into the road and crossed the line back into New Delhi, back to the wider roads, organised traffic, traffic signals, roundabouts and actual pavements that people walked on.

We made a last pit stop at the Indira Gandhi Memorial, her house and place of her assassination . Although I have been here before, I still felt found new things to read and enjoy.  This great Stateswomen lived a humble, simple and family life which was cut short in her prime. Politics apart, I have great respect for Mrs Indira Gandhi and the words she said at one of her speeches echoed in my head:

“ How can you be Indian and not be proud”

THE SOUTH INDIAN FOODS

The South Indian states of Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Tamil Nadu, Kerala and Karnataka each have their own variants of common dishes as well as regional specialties. For an introduction to South Indian cuisine, here are 10 dishes to look out for.

1. Dosas: paper-thin crepes

A traditional breakfast food made of fermented rice-and-lentil batter, a dosa is much like a crispy thin crepe. It’s accompanied by sambar (a hot lentil soup) and coconut chutney.

Masala dosas are stuffed with a spicy mash of potato and onion; plain dosas are hollow; rava dosas are made from semolina; and some new-age variants get creative with fillings such as cottage cheese or mixed vegetables.

Whatever you choose (trust us and start with a masala dosa), the delightfully light dish is best eaten hot, when it’s fresh off the griddle.

2. Idlis: steamed rice cakes

Soft, fluffy and ivory-coloured, idlis are what many South Indian families eat for breakfast. A fermented lentil-and rice-batter is steamed in little circular moulds, and the resulting spherical rice cakes are served with sambar and chutneys.

Idlis are light and mild tasting, an ideal snack for when you want to give your stomach a rest from fiery flavours.

3. Vadas: savoury doughnuts

What’s that doughnut-like thing doing on your South Indian breakfast thali (platter)? While a vada won’t cure your sugar cravings, it will satiate your desire for something deep fried, hot and crispy.

Made from a batter of black lentils, gently spiced with peppercorns, curry leaves, cumin, chilli and onion, this crunchy fritter tastes best when smeared generously with coconut chutney.

4. Uttapams: pizza-pancake hybrids

Is it a pancake? Is it a pizza? No, it’s an uttapam. A batter of fermented rice and lentils is ladled on to a griddle. Chopped tomato, onion, chillies, carrot, coconut and other toppings are then sprinkled on. The result is a fluffy, porous, delicious uttapam, softer than a dosa, and tastes great with chutneys or without.

9. Biryani: something like pilaf

The ubiquitous biryani is found in different forms all over India, changing in flavour and preparation style according to regional influences.

Biryani is essentially a dish of rice cooked with meat, veggies and spices such as turmeric, cardamom, bay leaves, cinnamon, cloves, and pepper; sometimes garnished with cashews, raisins and caramelized onions. It can be vegetarian or have meats such as chicken, mutton or beef.

© highviews/Shutterstock

While there is no single South Indian-style biryani, you’ll find different varieties such as Hyderabadidum biryani, Kerala-style Malabar or Thalasserybiryani, the coastal Karnataka variant of Bhatkalibiryani, Tamil Nadu’s Dinidgulbiryani and so on.

headcanons: joshua & food

“love has always been the world’s best secret ingredient.”

while joshua doesn’t strictly need to eat, he loves food. he sees it as an art form, a way for people to express their passion and love, both for the food itself and for the people eating it. growing up, his parents rarely cooked for him, often forgetting to feed him at all. at the same time, mr. h would cook for him regularly, leading him to associate cooking (specifically being cooked for) with love. so while he does know how to cook, he’ll often pretend he doesn’t if he thinks it’ll lead to someone else cooking for him, and will rarely (if ever) cook alone at home now that he doesn’t need to to stay alive.

basics & general notes

joshua is a fairly adventurous eater and tends to be fine eating most things, with few things he outright hates.

his favorite flavor is umami (salty and savory) and his least favorite is bitter.

he’s not a big fan of sweet food.

he likes spicy food a lot, especially chili.

he didn’t like coffee at first, due to it being either bitter or sweet, but he drank it a lot because of his friendship with mr. h and, due to a mixture of exposure and fond associations, he grew to like it over time.

he usually likes vegetables, but not in soup.

pork is a neutral flavor.

generally likes seafood.

doesn’t like ice cream.

loves ramen.

doesn’t really like soy sauce.

going by the original game, his favorite foods are: definitivo chili dog, shio ramen, absolute shadow ramen, mushrooms, viper drink (some kind of energy drink), and sync bars (which i can only assume are absolutely disgusting energy bars that he eats like candy).

Why is Indian Vegetarian Food So Irresistible?

Indian vegetarian food is renowned for its irresistible appeal, a quality that stems from its rich flavors, diverse ingredients, and deep cultural roots. One of the primary reasons for its allure is the masterful use of spices. Indian cuisine employs a wide array of spices such as turmeric, cumin, coriander, and garam masala, which blend together to create complex and enticing flavors. These spices not only enhance taste but also offer numerous health benefits.

Another aspect that makes Indian vegetarian food so captivating is its variety. India’s vast geography and cultural diversity have given rise to a multitude of regional vegetarian dishes. From the lentil-based dals of the North to the coconut-infused curries of the South, each region offers unique culinary delights. This diversity ensures that there is always something new and exciting to try.

Moreover, Indian vegetarian cuisine is often based on fresh, wholesome ingredients. Vegetables, legumes, grains, and dairy products are used creatively to produce balanced and nutritious meals. Dishes like palak paneer (spinach and cheese), chole (chickpea curry), and dosas (rice and lentil crepes) are not only delicious but also packed with essential nutrients.

The cultural significance of vegetarianism in India also adds to its appeal. Many Indians practice vegetarianism for religious and ethical reasons, resulting in a rich tradition of vegetarian cooking that has been refined over centuries. This deep-rooted tradition contributes to the authenticity and irresistible charm of Indian vegetarian food. For more information visit indian restaurant Norwest.
