Nutritional differences between tofu vs paneer. quite commonly heard is that if you want to go for weight loss, then tofu being a low fat option is best for you. Is this how weight loss diets are designed?

Ans: Every source of protein is somewhat different from other sources. The key is balanced approach. Even if one eat paneer and it has fat, we need fat also in the diet.
Then, the taste is also a factor.

Weight loss diets are designed as per health need of the person. There are very low calories Diet (VLCD) to a range of diets such as intermittent fasting.

Consult a physician and a qualified dietitian to discuss specifics.

IS EATING SAMOSA , KACHORI , CHOWMEAN NOODLES GOOD FOR DIABETIC PATIENTS ???

Ans: Foods like samosas, kachoris, and chow mein noodles are generally not recommended for diabetic patients due to their high carbohydrate and fat content. For a diabetic-friendly diet, it’s better to opt for foods that are low in refined carbs and unhealthy fats. Choose whole grains like quinoa, brown rice, or whole wheat pasta and vegetable-based noodles such as zucchini noodles or spaghetti squash. Baked or grilled snacks instead of fried ones are also better to consume.

Can I get vjti mechanical with 99.1 percentile from lopens, hs

Ans: It is possible to get VJTI mechanical engineering with a 99.1 percentile, but it depends on the specific category and whether you are applying as a Home State (HS) candidate. For the General Home State (GHS) category, the closing percentile for mechanical engineering can vary, but it has been around the 96th percentile in the past . Your 99.1 percentile should be sufficient for VJTI mechanical, especially if you are in a reserved category.Best of luck. I am always there by the side of the children who need counselling.
