    @Shanvy Mam,
    May i know how do you prepare barley for consumption?
    The barley grain which i procure from the market , is used only for purpose of boiling in water and then drinking this water soaked overnight, in summers

    Hey Cheenu , if you haven't been recommended this powder by a doctor, you should desist using these or even other supplements.
    There are many protein sources in food like rajma, tofu, cheese, milk, egg (if you haveit), kiwi, paneer, soy bean , moong sprouts or moong dal and many more, kala channa (black gram is excellent source of protein). You should try to incorporate these more in your diet then going in for artificial sources . You should also try to have more vegetable intake in raw or simple cooked forms.
    Regarding the banana smoothie, i would go for it, as banana in itself is a complete food and extremely satisfying anf filling. It would give you the fullness you desire for a protein rich breakfast and you may compensate the calories else where if you really are looking at food that ways.

    Query: Since I am still not sure about the veracity of the calories that the app shows, I would like to know if the dinner plate would tot up to 440 calories. Find it hard to accept! :p
