Are you on a healthy diet to lose weight or keep a tab on your calorie intake? The calorie requirement of a person is calculated by considering factors like his/her height, weight and level of physical activity. Eating low-calorie foods is crucial in weight loss and to lead a healthy life. This is the reason why doctors and nutritionists advise against consuming high-calorie food items like ice cream, biryani, pasta and cake. However, festival days are special occasions when you could forget the calories and eat your favourite foods to your heart’s content. The grand Onam festivities are incomplete without relishing the sumptuous Onam sadya served on fresh plantain leaves. You could enjoy the sadya without compromising your diet if you keep a few things in mind.

Keeping the body well hydrated by drinking lots of water is extremely important on Onam day.  It is quite natural to feel sleepy and lethargic after having such an elaborate meal. But taking a stroll or keeping yourself active after meals is important. In most households, the same curries are served for dinner too. But if you are someone who focuses on diet, then it is better to avoid another high-calorie meal at night. You could opt for lighter meals or a glass of warm milk. Here’s how many calories your favourite dishes contain.
