Economic and Availability Trap
Hi, I and my brother lives far away from home (with also some economic difficulties). We eat food from hotels what are affordable. Regular south Indian (TN) breakfast (Idly, Dosa, or Parotta with curry which has no vegetables), and lunch (is not a proper meal but rice based), dinner as usual (not great in nutrients).
What are the food / snacks / fruit items we can add as supplements to keep us healthy and in better nutritional status (and affordable)? What should be taken at least in what quantities and frequencies every month? Please guide us.

Hi, There are 3 macronutrients like carbohydrate, Protein and fat which we get from our diet. Also micronutrients like Vitamin and minerals are also needed.Your diet is lacking proteins and fibre. Include milk, curd, eggs,chicken and fish for proteins. Include fruits like papaya, chickoo,Banana, Guava and vegetables like cucumber, Carrot, Raddish which are easy to add besides leafy vegetables.

I can surely help you with this but not over here without knowing whole schedule of your like diet schedule and medical history.
I would recommend you to have a one to one counselling session with me so that I can help you with the options.
I work online globally so you can have a online or telephonic appointment also or opt for a personal chat option.
It's very important to have few superfoods and healthy snacks in your diet so that the junk food doesn't have bad effect on your health.
