Answer 1

1- I portion my plate according to nutrition needed for the body. I prefer to take green veg prepared in Olive which is good for the heart because of high unsaturated fat. And I add milk and curd along with sweet.

2. Recommendation depends upon the our target to make body according to professional. Like athlete has different priority than a modal, one need more energy and take high calories food and fat is not under consideration while a modal take plat with very low fat. But a standard plat must contain vegetable, fruit, protein and dairy product.

3. I take plain veg food with low fat.

4. I do not avoid meal even once. and if I do I take fruit and especially banana that is of high calories that can meet demand of energy for the day. And milk.

5. I can improve by adding more protein and fruit in the plat. I can add pulse on daily basis along with a plat of rice.
