Paneer is a regular part of many Indian meals. But beyond taste, it’s also a good source of protein for daily eating.

On average, 100 grams of paneer provides 18–20 grams of protein, depending on how it’s made.

Why protein matters every day

Protein helps repair muscles, keeps you full for longer, and supports overall body strength.

Good for vegetarians

For people who don’t eat eggs or meat, paneer is one of the easiest ways to add protein to meals.

Helps with energy and fullness

Protein in paneer slows digestion, so you feel satisfied and energetic for longer.

Works well for weight management

When eaten in the right portion, paneer can help control hunger and reduce unhealthy snacking.

Easy to include in daily meals

Add paneer to sabzi, salads, wraps, or simple bhurji, and no fancy cooking is needed.

Best ways to eat paneer

Lightly cooked, grilled, or added to home-style dishes is better than deep-fried versions.

Remember, balance matters more than numbers.

Paneer works best when paired with vegetables, whole grains, and regular movement.
