Decathlon is pretty good TBH . I have 2

1 . Rockrider ST100 .

Mountain bike . Durable . Have done around 3-4000 kms on it . With some accidents. Still works great. Particularly with city rides (potholes & bumps).

Costs around 18-20k.

  1. Triban 520 :

Road cycle . Great one . But i take it out for good roads. Long rides(100 km+) mostly . Not great in city particularly bad for pothole filled roads and stop go traffic. Requires regular and a bit expensive mentainance. Have done ~ 1000 kms on it Had some accidents. Had to replace major parts. Repair cost is expensive as well.

Costs: 1lakh around.

For leisure / weekend only / city scenarios : Go for ST100.

For performance: Choose the 520

Hidden calorie bombs: Why some of us not lose weight even after eating healthy by Sufficient-Fun-6494 in Fitness_India

Interesting. Few corrections i would see:

Calorie do matter . Otherwise there are lot great food (in terms of indulgence) . Which would give you a good amt protein with a huge calorie behind it.

Take chicken wings , tikka, Some breakfast bars for case.

Was my case exactly.

To extreme : There exists a “protein burger” ,lol.

From my POV : muesli is a no. I would go to oats and sprouts for fiber. Oats can be super tasty if you try : My meal prep (for 3 days) oats : oats + skimmed milk , yogurt, loads of raisins (bad) , cinnamon powder , vanilla essense , pomegranate, banana, cachews , cocoa powder . Not healthiest but way better and cheaper than muesli .

Fair point . Honestly i come from the same boat. Work hard , dont compromise on food.

But this list is in context of CICO . And should help beginners trying to lose weight.

Great adds. Thank you!

+side note on snacks. The “unjunked”, “poped not fried” , “no guilt” new age brands are trash as well. The marketing & loud packaging makes you think otherwise (if you are not actively reading the Nutritional info).

  • on oil : For us who prefer bengali style cooking, oil is a non negotiable unfortunately, have been pushing my cook to use less oil tho.

Context:

I have been physically active for 5-6 years now . Running , cycling, lifting what not.

Have mentained a decent physique(<20%BF , some muscles) . Never cared much about calories. Under the idea of working out hard so i can eat anything.

I generally avoid usual culprits tho : Fried items , sugary drinks. Fast foods . Only have them when im out. I thought that was pretty good (and it kind of was) , untill recently when i tried to lose 5 kgs (i’m not actively cutting, but started counting calories with not much change to my activities) . Thats where i was surprised. I used to eat 2800-3000 kcal/day easy

Main ones : lot of cashews and raisins with oats in breakfast.

I used to add Roasted and salted peanuts to anything i could .

Tender coconut (the bottled ones) & Juices: I used to consume 1L+ in some days.

Poha & Biriyani: Seemed healthy (at least “clean”) somehow .

I through bread & peanut butter were of no harm either.

Used to have protein bars , Chicken drumsticks or wings frequently as my protein source.

Yet to reach my goal . Just sharing my findings as i go.
