Question

Since the growth at adolescence is quite rapid, we require balanced diet during this period. Which of the following constitutes a balanced diets in themselves?

• A. Indian meal of rice/roti , dal and vegetables
• B. Milk
• C. Vegetarian pizza
• D. Fruits

Answer 1

The correct option is C

Vegetarian pizza

Our Indian meal of roti/rice, dal and vegetables is a balanced diet. Milk contains all necessary nutrients except iron and vitamin C. Fruits also provide nourishment if taken in correct combination to constitute a balanced diet. A vegetarian pizza made with a whole wheat crust can be a good diet but may not provide all nutrients. So, it is not a balanced diet in itself.
