EAT WELL GUIDE A high -protein, moderate-carb breakfast for morning , with a besan (chickpea flour) veggie chilla, 2 boiled eggs, and sliced cucumber. Besan is a pulse flour, so it adds plant protein, along with iron, folate, and resistant starch and fibre, which give a lower glycaemic response . Carrot and capsicum add beta-carotene and vitamin C. The vitamin C helps absorb the non-haem iron in besan. Cumin and coriander add flavour and small amounts of antioxidants. Eggs have high-biological-value protein, with all essential amino acids in a highly digestible form. “Protein + fibre = energy that lasts and hunger that stays away. ”
