#HealthBytes: Top 5 low-calorie Indian comfort foods to lose weight

Weight loss isn't about sacrificing meals or fasting. In fact, these practices might not always be conducive. Rather, one should aim for three healthy meals each day, and regular, healthy snacking, when trying to lose weight. Good news is that there are lots of healthy Indian meal options to choose from. Here are 5 low-calorie Indian comfort foods, to help you lose weight.

#1
Poha

Given the ease of making it, poha is a vastly popular breakfast option. But what makes poha an impeccable meal is its richness in carbohydrates and iron, accompanied by its digestion-friendly nature. Being low-calorie, poha supplies you ample nutritious value without bothering you with unwanted fats. Add a lot of veggies to your poha plate, in order to augment its nutritious capacity.

#2
Khichdi

It's high time we move beyond the stereotype that khichdi is for the sick. In fact, it should be eaten by anyone who doesn't want to fall ill in the first place. A wholesome, filling, yet light-weight meal, khichdi makes for a great dinner option. One serving will get you plenty of carbohydrates, protein, dietary fiber, Vitamin C, calcium, magnesium, potassium, and other nutrients.

#3
Dalia

Dalia is a great pick for those looking to shed some extra kilos because it's lightweight, easily-digestible, and contains a high amount of fiber that aids in weight loss. Additionally, it contains several nutrients like protein, magnesium, potassium, and iron. Apart from aiding in weight loss, dalia also offers an array of other health benefits, like improving heart health, preventing constipation, and boosting metabolism.

#4
Idli Sambhar

Taste and nutrition is a match made in heaven, and no other dish has conquered this combo better than the South Indian delight, Idli-Sambhar. The air-light idlis are low in calories, so you're not getting any fatter. Further, sambhar is a nutrition powerhouse, being high in protein, fiber, and antioxidants. Also, it is also easily digestible.

#5
Dhokla

Light on stomach, steamed dhokla is another amazingly healthy comfort food. Made with gram flour, dhokla is rich in fiber, manganese, copper, zinc, phosphorus, magnesium, folate, and Vitamin B6. And apart from the great health benefits listed, these juicy yellow cubes taste so good, served with kadi, and chutney, that one simply can't stop munching on them.
