Athletes need more protein as they are building and/or repairing muscle as well as connective tissue. Their requirements are two to three times the amount of protein as normal people, or between 1.4-2g per kilo of body weight per day. This is a large range, allowing variation for the sort of sport they play. Protein deficiency is one of the common problems seen in young athletes. We developed bajra millet cracker for an endurance athlete which is protein dense snack it will fasten the recovery rate and prevents muscle wastage. Protein dense cracker can be consumed post training or exercise for greater recovery as well as before exercise to prevent muscle breakdown. We reviewed 20 research articles on this topic after the product development sensory evaluation carried out by team evaluators based on taste, texture, appearance, odor, and color. Microbiological testing was done in our college laboratory. Shelf-life analysis was done by keeping product in Air tight container for twenty days.
