One serving of each food listed below, ±10% for the hand that cooks it. A scale check, not a target. The Thursday fast, with yellow food. A single-meal day dedicated to Brihaspati or to Sai Baba depending on tradition, with a strong custom of yellow food: chana dal, besan, turmeric and banana.
डेटासेट जसे सांगतो तसे: Sunrise to the evening meal.

What Guruvar Vrat is
Guruvar vrat is kept for Brihaspati — Jupiter — and in many households for Sai Baba. Its distinguishing custom is colour: yellow foods, meaning chana dal, besan, turmeric, jaggery and banana, and in many families the banana tree itself is worshipped, so bananas are offered rather than eaten.
Because pulses are often included rather than excluded, this is one of the few Hindu fast days that is not automatically low in protein — chana dal and besan both carry a reasonable amount.
प्रथा वेगवेगळ्या असतात. Whether bananas are eaten or only offered, whether salt is set aside, and whether the fast is for Brihaspati or for Sai Baba all differ by family and tradition.
ही नोंद कशी तयार केली आहे, आणि अन्नाची मोजणी कशी केली आहे
- The observance is read from published accounts of Guruvar Vrat and written as commonly observed — कधीही आवश्यक म्हणून नाही, कधीही बरोबर म्हणून नाही. जिथे कुटुंबांमध्ये फरक असतो, तिथे नोंद फरक असल्याचे सांगते.
- वरील कमान पाळला जाणारा कालावधी यांच्यादरम्यान दाखवते नावानिशी दिलेली स्थानके दिवसाचे टप्पे — सूर्योदय, माध्यान्ह, सूर्यास्त, चंद्रोदय — आणि कधीही ठराविक वेळांदरम्यान नाही. सेहरी, इफ्तार, चंद्रोदय आणि सूर्यास्त हे स्थानिक आणि धार्मिकदृष्ट्या महत्त्वाचे आहेत, आणि ही साइट त्यांपैकी एकही प्रकाशित करत नाही.
- कालावधी डेटासेट स्वतः जो पल्ला सांगतो त्यातून, पल्ला म्हणूनच घेतला आहे. जिथे कालावधी अक्षांश आणि ऋतूवर अवलंबून असतो, तिथे कालावधी छापलेलाच नाही.
- अन्नऊर्जा प्रत्येक पदार्थ प्रत्यक्षात ज्या प्रमाणात खाल्ला जातो त्या सर्व्हिंगनुसार दिली आहे — जिथे तक्त्यात तो पदार्थ आहे तिथे IFCT 2017 (ICMR–NIN) मधून, आणि जिथे नाही तिथे नाव दिलेल्या पर्यायी स्रोतातून.
- प्रत्येक बिल्डवेळी प्रत्येक पदार्थ Atwater घटकांशी ताळमेळ घालून तपासला जातो, आणि ताळमेळ न बसणारे पान प्रकाशित होत नाही.

आठवडा न बिघडवता हे कसे पाळायचे
हा भाग कोणीच नीट प्रकाशित करत नाही. यातले काहीही तुम्हाला व्रत बदलायला सांगत नाही — व्यायाम, झोप आणि जेवणाच्या वेळा हे तुमच्या हातातले घटक आहेत, उपवास नाही.
Training
One of the easiest fasts to train through, particularly where chana dal and besan are included and protein is not short.
Sleep
Unaffected.
Blood sugar
Besan and chana dal are lower on the glycaemic scale than most vrat food, which makes this one of the gentler weekly fasts for blood glucose — but jaggery in quantity works the other way.
Hydration
Normal.
The specific risk with Guruvar Vrat
Low.

Practices are described as commonly observed; customs differ by family, region, community and sampradaya, and this site is not an authority on any of them. Food values come from the Indian Food Composition Tables 2017 (ICMR–NIN), the older ICMR–NIN tables, USDA FoodData Central, named composition studies and the shared ThaliFacts dataset, reconciled against Atwater factors on every build. Which source applies to which food is listed per food, and every source carries the date it was last checked. General information only — not medical or religious guidance. Fasting is not safe for everyone, particularly during pregnancy or with diabetes or other conditions. Speak to a doctor first.
