What is right food:

• Always choose easy preparations: those food items cooked easily are healthier, contain more nutrition and easy to digest.
• Avoid deep fried extra oily food: generally deep fried over cooked foods causes acidity and a gastric problem which lead to indigestion and, later on, weight gain due to the improper digestive system.
• Add colors to your diet: use color full vegetables, and eat different color fruits, it will provide phytonutrients. Phytonutrients are natural compounds found in plant foods such as vegetables, fruit, whole grain products and legumes. These plant compounds have beneficial effects working with other essential nutrients to promote good health.

Divide your plate into four sections with dairy on the side to represent the five food groups:
 

1. Fruits
2. Vegetables
3. Grains
4. Protein
5. Dairy

What is right amount of food? (it means your portion size):

One easy way to size up portions if you don't have any measurements is to use your hand as a guide:
 

• A clenched fist is about a cup - and a cup is the amount experts recommend for a portion of pasta, rice, cereal, vegetables, and fruit.
• A meat portion should be about as big as your palm.
• Limit the amount of added fats (like butter, mayo, or salad dressing) to the size of the top of your thumb.

Right time:

Fix meal timings, and try to stick to those timings. Maintain a proper gap between meals to get it digest well.
