Recently, Rujuta Diwekar raised concerns about India adopting a Singapore-like culture of frequent dining out. Meanwhile, Nikhil Kamath’s post highlighted how Indians eat out just 5 times a month, compared to China (33), the US (27), and Singapore (19).So, where does this leave us? As a clinical nutritionist, I’ve observed a major shift—our lives are getting busier, time for meal prep is shrinking, and convenience foods are becoming a necessity. But here’s the real issue—what kind of convenience are we choosing?
Too often, “quick meals” translate to ultra-processed, high-sugar, low-nutrient foods that do more harm than good. But what if convenience didn’t have to mean compromise?This is where smart meal solutions like meal replacement shakes can bridge the gap—offering balanced, nutrient-dense alternatives without the guilt of junk food or the hassle of elaborate cooking.
💡 The conversation shouldn’t just be home-cooked vs. convenience—it should be about redefining convenience to work for our health, not against it.
What do you think? Can we create a food culture where quick also means clean and nutritious?
