The right proportions for your meal

Eat your meals in the right proportions

Maintain a 3:2:1 ration between grains: dal/sabzi: pickle/salad/curd

Here’s how eating in this proportion, helps –

- puts an end to dieting and deprivation
- diet diversity is built in as a default
- appeals to all senses, especially eyes and taste
- improves digestion and assimilation of nutrients
- ends constipation and bloating. Even acidity.
- improves satiety and results in you feeling light and energetic

The only way to get out of this diet cycle and to stay fit for the rest of our lives without depriving ourselves of the goodness of food is to eat food in a state of balance. The answer therefore, lies in the right proportion, not portion.

What is the right proportion then? It is the timeless method of eating our meals in a way that allows for maximum nutrients, enhances taste and even looks visually appealing to our eyes. And this method of eating food, across all regions and cultures of our country, uses the following proportions –

50% of your plate should be rice or roti or millets (grains)
35% should be dal and sabzi (and meat if non-veg)
15% should be papad/ pickle/ salad/ curd, etc.
