Is Tomato Chutney good for weight loss?

Best kept occasional

Tomato Chutney carries roughly 173 kcal per 100 g, which is moderate for an everyday Indian food. You can fit reasonable portions into a fat-loss diet without much trouble, as long as the rest of your day stays within your calorie target.

Is Tomato Chutney good for muscle gain?

Mainly an energy food

Tomato Chutney provides about 0.7 g of protein per 100 g, which counts as low for Indian foods. That works out to roughly 0.4 g of protein per 100 kcal, so it is not an efficient way to hit a protein target. Pair it with a dedicated protein source — dal, curd, paneer, eggs, soya or chicken — rather than relying on it for muscle growth.

Health tips for eating Tomato Chutney

Watch the portion and the amount of oil used. Pair with a protein source and vegetables for a balanced meal.
