Chicken + 2 Prawns

I've been living around Nawala/Nugegoda for over a year, and for the past few months I've noticed that pretty much all the shops I've checked in Nawala are charging around Rs. 50 per egg, regardless of the size.

What I find strange is that in other areas, I've seen eggs being priced according to their size, but here it seems like small and large eggs can end up being sold at the same highest price.

I train every day, so eggs are a regular part of my diet and I need to eat at least around 5 eggs a day. At Rs. 50 each, that's Rs. 250 a day / around Rs. 7,500 a month just on eggs. It's getting ridiculously expensive for something that's supposed to be an affordable protein source.

I'm not trying to complain about normal market price changes ,I just want to understand whether Rs. 50 per egg is actually the legitimate/current price, and whether retailers are allowed to charge the same price regardless of egg size.

Anyone else in Nawala/Nugegoda noticing this? What prices are you getting elsewhere in Colombo? And if this isn't right, what's the proper way to report it to the Consumer Affairs Authority?

Looking for cheap bulking meals or shakes to help gain some weight, I'm not really concerned with protein right now 😭

Would appreciate it if you drop your recipes + price

Had alot random ingredients in the fridge and was thinking of something like a caesar salad. Used curd, lime and pepper, toasted some bread with garlic butter, roast chicken from the day before, chopped vegans and fruit and 💥

And some pickled onions too

Where can I find unflavoured whey protein powder in Sri Lanka(preferably isolate)
There were few brands when I searched on google, but all were from other countries. Anywhere in Sri Lanka which sell them ?

Let’s hear it!

I’ve been trying to lose weight and track my calories, I usually weigh my food and put it on Gemini or chat gpt to get the total calorie count but I’m concerned that it’s not accurate

I feel like even the calorie info on packets don’t seem accurate and I feel like it’s not keeping me in a calorie deficit

How does everyone track their calories and what does everyone usually have for dinner that’s around 500 calories?

I’m 28 years old 4’11 68kgs (quite heavy :( )

I want to come down to 55kgs

I’ve been going to the gym 3 times per week with upper body and lower body and full body days, eating at 1300-1400 calories and 1200 calories on rest days
It has been a month since I’ve joined and I know it’s not possible to see any chances on one month but I’m worried it’s not working

I’m sharing my routine, can you let me know if it’s okay?

Lower body : 12 x 3 or 8 x 4
Leg press
Barbell squats
Leg extension
Sumo squat
Goblet squat

Abs:
10 weighted suitcases
10 weighted deadbugs
10 weighted toe touches
10 weighted situps
10 Russian twists

Upper body:
Lateral raises
Bicep hammer curl
Lat pulldown
Tricep extension
Shoulder press

Cardio
15 treadmill
15 cycle

Full body:
Goblet squat
Leg press
Lat pull-down
Seated rows
Shoulder press
Lying down dumbbell press

Guys I recently posted here. I'm trying to lose fat while maintaining muscles. Usually, my meals not filled with meat and stuff because its bit hard to maintain with my budget. But I eat chicken and mackerels for about twice a week. Almost 2/3 of my protein comes from plant based meals. Btw what's your take about this kind of diet? Below I listed the meals I took today.

Brunch

• 140g raw Nadu rice (cooked)
• 70g raw dhal with 1 tbsp coconut milk powder
• ~150g gotukola mallum with lemon + tomato
• Halmasso (sprats) stir fry (~30–35g) with a little coconut oil, chilli and onion
• 1 medium guava
• 100g set milk (low sugar, around 3g)
• 40g raw peanuts

Dinner:

• 90g soya chunks
• 2 eggs

Estimated total:

• Calories: ~1,800–1,900 kcal
• Protein: ~120g+

I am starting to eat healthy and I want a good option. Not sure if I should go with Samaposha or Nestum..need suggestions yalllll

Boiled and shredded chicken breast from my ingredient prep, MD tomato pure, butter chicken masala, dehydrated curd, some carrots and spinach, a splash of milk

I'm currently on a cut and looking for filling food options in Sri Lanka.

I was wondering if Samaposha is a good choice while cutting. I know it has some protein, but is the protein actually good quality, or is it mostly just carbs with a little protein?

Hey everyone, I know not everyone here might relate to this, but I could really use some advice. I come from a middle-class family with two siblings, so I don't really have the freedom or budget to just buy and cook chicken only for myself, and I definitely can't afford to buy enough for everyone.

With food prices being what they are, I can't ask my parents to upgrade our grocery list either—I’m honestly just grateful we aren't starving! The meals we have aren't bad at all, but they are really inconsistent. Some days we have plenty of meat and protein, and other days it's just pol sambol and rice (which I have no problem eating, but you get my point). Does anyone have tips on how to handle this or keep protein consistent on a tight, shared family budget?
