Balanced meal is important
A balanced meal has an irrefutable contribution to achieving your fitness goal. In an earlier interview with HT, Dr Manoj Kuteri, medical director and CEO at Atmantan Wellness Centre, reiterated the importance of a balanced plate. As per him, an ideal plate for all ages should include 40% fruits and vegetables, 25% lean proteins, 20% starchy carbohydrates and 15% healthy fats.
He said, “A balanced plate isn’t just about portion control; it’s about creating sustainable, wholesome meals that promote long-term well-being.” The weight loss becomes more healthy when the plate meets all the dietary needs, from fibre to healthy fats. The journey to fitness becomes more holistic with appropriate nutrition.
