Question

Since the growth at adolescence is quite rapid, we require balanced diet during this period. Which of the following does not constitute 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 is a balanced food in itself. Fruits also provide nourishment. For infants, mother's milk provides all the nourishment that they need. Whereas junk foods like pizza, burger, chips, french fries, etc. should never replace regular meals as they do not have adequate nutritional value.
