Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I can understand your concern.

I have seen the details mentioned. Please understand the average Indian diet (made at home) is a very healthy food plan. It is quite balanced in providing enough carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. Intake of vegetables (raw and cooked), plus fruits in addition to routine diet is a good addition. Our vegetarian diet most often can be a bit less in proteins. So increasing the intake of pulses will help to counter that. Eggs are a good addition.

As regards the habits that you have mentioned (junk foods) are bad in terms of nutritional value. You might eat one or two puris with a good amount of vegetables.

I hope this information will help you.

Thank you.
