Electrolyte / ORS drink

One serving of Electrolyte / ORS drink — 1 sachet in 200 ml — comes to 16 kcal, 0 g protein, 4 g carbs and 0 g fat. Scaled to 100 g it works out to 8 kcal and 0 g protein, which makes it not a meaningful protein source on its own for a supplement item. That single serving is about 1.1% of a 1,500 kcal day and 0.8% of a 2,000 kcal day, so it's more of a filler than a target-hitter on protein without much extra planning.

Walking off Electrolyte / ORS drink takes roughly 400 steps, using the rough approximation of 0.04 kcal burned per step (a population-average estimate for a moderate walking pace, not a personalised number). Cost data for this item wasn't reliable enough to price per gram of protein, so treat it as a calorie source rather than a protein strategy. It fits nearly every Indian diet type, including vegetarian, Jain, vegan. It works at breakfast, lunch, the evening snack slot and dinner. It's commonly eaten on fasting days (Navratri/Ekadashi-style).

If you want variety without changing the macros much, the closest swaps in the supplement category are Creatine monohydrate, Peanut butter, high-protein (MyFitness/Pintola), Plant protein (pea+rice), 1 scoop, Sattu (roasted chana flour), plain — each keeps a similar role on the plate while shifting the exact protein-to-carb balance a little.
