  1. Hi Asritha
    The general diet plan that you have posted on the blog is rather incomplete nor does it reglect a balanced diet as it does not mention any thing about intake of a minimum amount of milk and milk products one should consume irrespective of one belonging to any State. No mention regarding amounts and types of fats/oils to be consumed.

  2. Regarding milk, I included it in breakfast and snacks and added milk products in lunch and dinner in the form of yogurt(curd).I hope for adults 2-3 cups of milk or milk products will provide calcium and other nutrients required.
    Regarding Fat and oil, it will vary from person to person depending on their cholesterol and body fat. I mentioned it in general in nuts and oils section about the kind of oils.
    Thank you for your feed back.
