How can I make an everyday Indian meal more balanced using familiar natural foods?
Consider the overall pattern across the day as well as the individual meal. Include a variety of familiar food groups and account for age, activity, health needs, culture and appetite.
More that helps
Seek qualified advice for medical nutrition requirements.
Why it happens
A balanced meal depends on variety, portion size and individual needs, not on a single perfect food. A meal may provide energy but be limited in fibre, protein or particular micronutrients.
How it works
Different foods contribute different nutrients. Variety can improve the chance of meeting needs, but nutritional adequacy cannot be determined from appearance or one ingredient alone.
