This 14-day Indian hypothyroid meal plan delivers iodine 150 mcg/day (iodized salt, dairy, fish, curd per NIH ODS [1] and Indian endocrinologist consensus [2]), selenium 55 mcg/day (Brazil nuts, sunflower seeds, eggs, chicken), and respects two practical principles for thyroid patients on levothyroxine [3]: take the pill on empty stomach 30+ minutes before food, and separate calcium-iron-soy-coffee from medication by 4 hours. Daily target 1,700 kcal split 420/510/260/510. The plan uses iodized salt only (not bland rock salt as primary) — a common Indian thyroid mistake. Cruciferous vegetables (cauliflower, broccoli, cabbage) appear cooked only and limited to 3 servings/week per the goitrogen evidence [2]; soy capped at 1 serving/day (no stacking soya chunks AND tofu AND soy milk on the same day). For Hashimoto's specifically, selenium 100–200 mcg supplementation shows TPO antibody reduction, and a 6–12 week gluten-free trial may help — discuss both with your endocrinologist [4]. Vitamin D 600–800 IU supplementation common for Indian thyroid patients per practitioner-facing guidance. Day 1 starts Sunday.

Most of the week’s cooking happens on Sunday. Doing the prep up-front means weekday meals come together in 10 minutes or less.
Indian thyroid management means iodine adequacy without overshoot, selenium for autoimmune support, and respecting the levothyroxine pill — keep food and medication apart by 30 minutes [3]. The plan supports your endocrinologist's prescription; medication adjustments belong to them, not the meal plan. Retest TSH every 6–12 weeks during dose titration; once stable, annually. Most Indian thyroid patients also need vitamin D and B12 supplementation — discuss with your physician. Walking 30 minutes daily supports metabolism and mood. Hashimoto's patients should consider a gluten-free trial of 6–12 weeks per recent evidence [4]; track symptoms with your physician.
