Whoever you think vegetarian don’t get enough protein

[Haider Khan]

This meal looks like a classic Indian thali with:

• Puri (fried Indian bread) – 4 pieces
• Chana curry (chickpeas in gravy)
• Dahi (curd/yogurt)
• Onion slices and green chili
• Lemon
• Mango (whole fruit in the background)
• Water/tea in the pot (uncertain)

Item	Quantity	Calories (kcal)	Protein (g)
Puri (4 pieces)	~160g total	~500	~8
Chana curry	~1 cup	~250	~12
Curd (dahi)	~1/2 cup	~50–60	~3–4
Onion + chili + lemon	small sides	~10	~0.3
Mango (optional, whole)	~200g	~150	~1

Notes:​

• Most protein comes from chickpeas and curd.
• Puri adds calories through frying in oil.
• This is a moderately high-calorie and balanced vegetarian meal, rich in carbs and fiber, moderate in protein.

Yes, certain foods like onion, garlic, and even spices can indeed contribute to body odor. Here's how it happens:

---

Why Onion & Garlic Cause Body Odor:​

1. They contain sulfur compounds​

• Garlic and onion are rich in sulfur-containing compounds, like:
  • Allicin (in garlic)
  • Thioallyl compounds (in onion)
• When digested, these compounds break down into volatile substancesthat:
  • Enter your bloodstream
  • Are excreted through lungs (bad breath)
  • And sweat glands (body odor)

2. Excretion through sweat​

• Sweat itself is odorless.
• But when these sulfur compounds exit through your sweat, skin bacteriabreak them down, creating:
  • A pungent, sometimes “spicy” or “garlicky” odor.

3. Fat-soluble compounds linger​

• Some of the compounds from garlic/onion are fat-soluble, meaning:
  • They get stored in body fat
  • Are released slowly over hours or even days
  • So your body might smell like garlic long after eating it

Examples of Odorous Compounds:​

Food	Compound	Odor Type
Garlic	Allyl methyl sulfide (AMS)	Sulfur/garlicky
Onion	Thiosulfinates, sulfoxides	Sharp/pungent
Curry	Cumin, turmeric oils	Warm/spicy

---

How to Reduce Food-Induced Body Odor:​

• Drink lots of water – flushes compounds faster
• Eat fresh herbs like parsley or mint (neutralizes odor)
• Add green tea or lemon water (detox effect)
• Shower regularly and wear breathable clothing
• Reduce high-sulfur foods if odor is persistent

Final Thought:​

Eating garlic/onion in moderation is totally fine and even very healthy—they boost immunity and heart health. But yes, their smelly reputation is based on real biochemistry!
