She also addressed her use of weight management injection, and added that it "doesn’t mean food stopped mattering.” She explained that she still needed to find meals that fitted her calorie deficit, kept her full and made it easier to get enough protein every day. Describing why she continued to eat these dishes, Kaajal said the seven breakfasts were meals she had “genuinely repeated over and over”. She added that they were “easy, satisfying, and don’t make me feel like I’m on a diet.”
