Eating Smart- A Balanced Diet
A Healthy Breakfast
The old saying goes…..
'Have breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dine like a pauper'. However you
should not forget the importance of nutritious snacks that often keep you going till the
next meal.
Breakfast is a very important meal of your day which weight watchers find easiest to skip
to cut down on their calories. The reality is that you have been fasting since dinner and
your energy reserves are low in the morning. Begin your day with a high carbohydrate and
high fiber breakfast to give you a good start and keep your energy levels perked up till
lunch.
A good breakfast keeps you alert and energetic throughout the day. Above all it keeps you
away from bingeing on high calorie mid-morning treats which can lead to unnecessary weight
gain.
A balanced breakfast should provide you:
- About 25% of your daily calorie intake.
- A mix of carbohydrates, proteins and fiber.
- A serving of fruit.
- Plenty of fluids.

Tip of the week
Cooking:
Save the peel of apples, cucumbers and peaches. Grind them and add to the
ingredients of a green chutney (coriander leaves, green chilies, ginger, coconut, salt and
sugar). It makes a tasty and nutritious chutney and when mixed with curd makes an unusual
raita.
Health:
Restaurant chips: Did you know that just 1 basket of restaurant tortilla
chips can contain 1,000 calories? When dining out, skip the chips and strive to finish a
full glass of water before your meal arrives.
Cookery term
