To continue losing weight safely and avoid muscle loss, weakness, or metabolic slowdown, it’s important to balance protein, calories, and exercise, rather than focusing on restrictive fasting or only protein intake.
Diet and Protein Guidelines:
- Aim for 1 g protein per kg body weight (~65–70 g/day for you) to preserve muscle mass. Include eggs, chana sprouts, soya chunks, lentils, tofu, and occasional fish if acceptable.
- Don’t focus on protein alone include whole grains, fiber-rich vegetables, fruits, and healthy fats are essential for satiety, nutrient intake, and maintaining energy levels.
- Long fasting periods can slow metabolism over time and make fat loss harder, as the body adapts by conserving fat.
- Exercise supports fat loss and muscle maintenance. Include resistance or strength training 2–3 times/week along with walking.
Safe fat loss requires a balanced diet with protein, fiber, whole grains, and healthy fats, combined with resistance training and moderate exercise. Avoid prolonged fasting, as it can slow metabolism and hinder fat loss over time.

I’d like to add weight loss is more than calories and numbers. Yes they are very useful in giving a broad outline, but behaviour and food choices are more complex than this.
1) Your current intake is approx. 1100–1300 kcal and 55–65 g protein.
This is slightly low. For your weight (67 kg), aim for 67 g protein and ~1300–1500 kcal to avoid muscle loss and weakness.
2) Based on your diet:
Calories: ~1100–1300 kcal/day
Protein: ~55–65 g/day
So currently:
Calories are slightly low
Protein is borderline adequate but can be improved.
3) 50 min light/moderate bed exercise: ~120–200 kcal
4) You don’t need to target maximum burn.
150–300 kcal/day through walking + light strength training is sufficient.
Next Steps
Your progress is good, but with a few precise changes, you can avoid muscle loss and get better results faster. I’d strongly recommend a personalised plan based on your routine—feel free to consult, I’ll help you optimise this in a simple and budget-friendly way.
Health Tips
Key improvements needed -:
- Add more protein: add dal/sattu/soy in better quantity
- Avoid long gaps + excess tea/coffee (can affect energy & acidity)
- Include a small breakfast (don’t rely only on coffee)
- Slightly increase calories to 1300–1500 kcal for sustainable fat loss
For a specific proper dietary guideline it's better to get the bodily parameters check and go accordingly.
Likewise you might have seen people who eats a lot but tend to be slim and skinny. On the contrary there are people who think several times before having a single extra apple
But tend to put on weight. This is thw constitution of a person responsible for weight gain/loss. Simultaneously muscles mass and water level can be checked to plan a better diet plan required by you
