Festival · a feast period
Eid ul-Adha / Bakrid (expected date)
Eid ul-Adha / Bakrid (expected date) runs from 2027-05-17 to 2027-05-18, observed mainly in all of India. It's a feast period — Feast / festival eating day (Diwali, Eid, Holi, Onam, Pongal, Christmas, Durga Puja, weddings). Three days of mutton: this is high-protein but high-fat (kaleji, nihari, biryani, kebab). Choose grilled/boti/kebab over korma; 150 g cooked mutton per meal gives ~35 g protein. Peak summer (40 C+): train before 07:00 or indoors. Keep sweets (sheer khurma) to one bowl.
Budget +500 kcal over maintenance on the peak day(s) and log it as planned, not as a failure. Caps: 1 mithai/sweet serving per day, 1 katori namkeen/fried snack, 2 alcoholic drinks. Never fast the next day to compensate; return to the plan. Weigh 3 days later, not the morning after (sodium + glycogen water). For a 90-day plan, expect Diwali week to cost 0-0.5 kg of progress if the caps are kept. On protein: Eat a 30 g protein meal before the party (eggs/paneer/curd/dal/chicken) so festive food is eaten on a half-full stomach. At the feast take protein and sabzi first, then rice/roti, then one sweet. Total protein target unchanged.
