A Guide to Balanced Diet for Vegetarians

If you are trying to become vegetarian or you are already a vegetarian, it is essential to make sure you are getting the right amount of nutrients required by your body to function at its best. Chefs at the 10 best restaurants in Jaipur suggest “If all the three meals of the day are full of required nutrients, individuals are less likely to get sick now and then”. The guide given below gives a quick solution to a common query of vegetarians about “what to eat and in what proportion”. Have a look at it!

1. Breakfast: - The first meal of the day should always be breakfast and not lunch. A protein-rich breakfast can be a great start to the day of any individual, as proteins keep the stomach full for a longer time thus reducing the consumption of carbs during the day. Some very common vegetarian yet protein-rich dishes can be; oatmeal with dry-fruits, spinach protein pancakes, milk and cereals, peanut butter and toast and berry and nuts filled Greek yogurt. Add a glass full of fresh fruit juice to your breakfast each day to optimise the body’s iron intake. Try these dishes for a few days and notice the difference in food requirement for the whole day. And remember, DO NOT SKIP BREAKFAST! 

2. Lunch: - Vegetarians got multiple options to make their lunch a scrumptious yet healthy meal. Lunch must be rich in proteins and carbs to avoid the afternoon slump and stay active during the entire day. Some very common dishes that can make your lunch very filling are, red lentil and chickpea soup, avocado salad, cashew biryani and veggies, risotto with stuffed tomatoes, Mexican burritos and Thai green curry. It may take a few days to develop taste for all these dishes but, trust me once you develop the taste, these will be your favourites! 

2. Dinner: - Most people tend to avoid the consumption of carbs during dinner, which makes it very difficult for them to stay full till breakfast. A diet with some carbs combined with healthy fats and proteins must be a part of the evening meal. In Jaipur, dishes like Veg Sushi, spinach pie, some rice, curd, a fruit, pulses and nuts are consumed by maximum individuals.
