Healthy eating can begin with familiar meals from your own food culture. Instead of replacing your entire menu, look at the components you already enjoy and the variety across your day.
Start with a familiar base
Rice, oats, whole-grain bread, roti or another staple can sit alongside vegetables and a protein food. Examples include lentils with rice and vegetables, or a whole-grain wrap with beans or paneer and a vegetable filling. Choose ingredients available where you live and suited to your food preferences. The combination and portions should suit your needs.
Make variety easier
Keep a few vegetables, fruit options and convenient protein foods on your shopping list. Rotate ingredients rather than searching for an entirely new recipe each day.
Plan for your real schedule
Choose meals you can prepare consistently. A repeatable breakfast or a leftover-friendly lunch can be more helpful than a complicated menu that does not fit your week.
Personalize the next step
There is no single portion size for everyone. Your dietitian can consider your appetite, goals, activity, preferences and relevant medical needs before recommending quantities.
