Balanced nutrition is the foundation of long-term health, disease prevention, and optimal quality of life.
The Balanced Plate Principle
Macronutrient Distribution:
- Protein: 25-30% of calories (supports muscle, satiety, metabolism)
- Carbohydrates: 40-50% of calories (prefer complex, low-GI sources)
- Fats: 20-30% of calories (emphasize unsaturated fats)
Practical Application:
- 1/4 plate: High-quality protein
- 1/4 plate: Complex carbohydrates
- 1/2 plate: Vegetables and fruits
- Healthy fats: Cooking oils, nuts, avocado
Protein in Balanced Nutrition
Protein should be distributed throughout the day for optimal muscle protein synthesis:
- Breakfast: 20-30g
- Lunch: 20-30g
- Dinner: 20-30g
- Snacks: 10-15g (if needed)
Total: 80-100g daily for average adult
When Supplementation Helps
While whole foods are ideal, supplements fill gaps:
- Busy lifestyles (meal replacement)
- Increased needs (athletes, elderly, pregnancy)
- Medical conditions (poor absorption, illness)
- Dietary restrictions (vegan, allergies)
