Having adequate protein in your diet is fundamental for overall health and well-being. Proteins are often called the “building blocks of life” because they are essential for the structure and function of every cell in your body. In addition to muscle growth & repair, proteins are also essential for weight management, helping you feel fuller for longer (thereby reducing your calorie intake), and for overall health.
In India, the average recommended protein intake is around 50 grams per day, yet approximately 84% of Indian vegetarian and 65% of non-vegetarian diets are protein deficient.1
So, if you’re looking to make smarter choices about what you eat, especially when it comes to getting enough protein, we have just the curation for you. We’ve launched our “High Protein” category, making it easier for you to find dishes with High Protein.
The High Protein category on Swiggy provides clear, upfront information about the protein content (in grams) and total calories for each dish. This means you can make truly informed decisions about what you’re ordering, helping you stay on track with your nutritional needs.
And the variety? We’ve curated over 5 lakh dishes from a wide range of protein sources, including paneer, soya, pulses, chicken, egg, and fish, just to name a few. From breakfast items like English Breakfast, Chicken / Paneer sandwiches, oatmeal and salads, to meals like Paneer / Chicken rice bowls, Quinoa Khichdi, Soya Matar & Millet Pulao bowls, Paneer Bhurji Meals, there’s something for every palate and dietary preference.
Each of our High Protein dishes also have a minimum of 15 grams of protein.
Whether you’re a vegetarian or a non-vegetarian, you’ll find an abundance of options. The High Protein collection is now available in 30+ cities, and we plan on expanding to reach 100+ cities very soon!
Finding the High Protein category is super simple. Just head over to the Swiggy Food Page, and you’ll spot the “High Protein” section. Alternatively, you can simply search for “High Protein” in the search bar, and you’ll be directed right to it.
We have also provided multiple options to help you find the High Protein dish you’re looking for, allowing you to either search for your high-protein dish based on the source of protein (e.g., “chicken” or “paneer”) or based on the quantum of protein you desire (e.g., “20g protein”). This thoughtful design puts you in control of your healthy eating journey.
The word is already out! Over 2 lakh customers have already tried and enjoyed our High Protein collection. Here’s what some of our customers had to say about it:
“ …it’s great to know about the food I am eating”
