Short work trip to a smaller town in India — how do you keep protein and energy?
Imagine a 48-hour work trip to a tier-2/tier-3 town with only dhabas, tea stalls, and a basic hotel breakfast. No kitchen, limited shops. What do you actually buy or order to get decent protein, stay hydrated, and not rely on 'eating perfectly'? Share specific foods, brands, stalls, or little hacks that have worked on trips like this.

Quick practical guidance: aim for ~20–30 g protein at each main meal and 10–20 g from snacks during a 48‑hr trip. Easy, commonly available choices in smaller Indian towns: 2 hard‑boiled eggs (~12 g), a 200 ml milk/Amul tetra (~6–8 g), 150–200 g curd/chaas or lassi, paneer sabzi/tawa paneer at a dhaba, roasted chana or peanuts (30–50 g pack), protein/peanut‑butter sachets or a protein bar, and canned tuna where available. For hydration: drink 2–3 L/day, use chaas or coconut water for electrolytes, and keep an ORS sachet if it's very hot. Food safety: prefer hot‑cooked items, peeled fruits (banana/orange), and freshly boiled/packed milk or sealed tetra packs.
