How does Bajra fit a cut vs a bulk?
At 3.2g of protein per 100 kcal, Bajra is more calorie-dense than protein-dense — on a calorie deficit (a cut) it's worth measuring the portion carefully so it doesn't crowd out higher-protein foods within a fixed calorie budget. On a calorie surplus (a bulk) that same calorie density is an advantage — it's an easy way to add calories without needing a large plate.
How much Bajra should I eat?
The dataset doesn't carry a standard household serving for Bajra, so the numbers above are per 100 g — weigh or measure the actual portion eaten and scale from there. As a raw ingredient, the amount that ends up on a plate depends heavily on how it's cooked and what else is in the meal.
