Protein chahiye: Nirmal Soni

Red Team contestant Nirmal Soni has been fighting more than just his craving for food on SaharaOne's Biggest Loser Jeetega.

Nirmal, who weighs 149.8 kg, is Gujarati and a strict vegetarian.

Recently, after a proper study of his nutrition quotient, it came to light that Nirmal's protein intake was below the required quantity.

So his trainer Deepika Mehta suggested that he start eating eggs to make up for the loss of proteins.

A source from the show reveals that Nirmal was shocked when he learnt he had to eat eggs.

"It took quite a while to convince Nirmal to include eggs in his diet. He has been a strict vegetarian all his life, so eating eggs was a big no-no for him."

'Egg'ad!

However, after being convinced by Deepika and realising that he had to have a good protein intake, Nirmal started eating eggs.

Interestingly, the close circuit cameras in the house rarely caught him eating eggs.

"Nirmal knows that everything on the show is being televised and he doesn't want his family to find out he is eating eggs.

So he hides and eats eggs or ducks from the camera whenever he is about to do so! He is scared that people back home will be upset," says a source working on the show.

However, Vimal Soni, Nirmal's elder brother, says that he isn't worried about him eating eggs.

"If he wants he can quit eggs and resume his normal diet when he comes back home. We are Gujaratis but not the hardcore type. I don't think there should be a problem if he has to eat eggs.

At the end of the day, it's a competition and he should try his best to win it. If that will happen by eating eggs, then so be it."

Thanks for sharing this article anishma24! 👍🏼

Even I don't eat eggs or anything that contains eggs... but I eat plenty of lentils and pulses and therefore I never have suffered as a result 😊

I haven't seen Nirmal do much in the first 2 episodes, so I'm interested in seeing how the guy performs in later episodes.

God bless.
