Study Finds Urban Indians Aware but Underconsume Protein and Fibre Nutrients
A recent study by PepsiCo India and partners reveals that while urban Indians show rising awareness of protein and fibre, actual consumption remains below recommended levels. Many consume less than 41 grams of protein daily, with Gen X facing the largest fibre deficit. Experts note diets rely heavily on carbohydrates and refined grains, limiting protein and fibre intake. Nutritionists emphasize protein quality and suggest improving staple foods, such as using high-protein flour, to address dietary gaps effectively.
