A Balanced Diet

Must be the hardest thing to do in the world, especially when u dun cook.

Taken from health promotion board website regarding what u shd eat per day:
5-7 servings of rice and alternative
2 servings of fruit
2 servings of veg
2-3 servings of meat and alternatives, and one of the servings must be the alternatives (like egg, milk, cheese or tofu). they say 3 eggs make one serving, but u're advise not to eat more than 4 egg yolks a week.

Just thinking about following their advice makes me feel as if i trying to turn vegetarian. I dun have anything against vegetarians, but i dun want to be one, i enjoy eating meat. The fruit bit is going to be tough. Dun have the habit of eating even one serving per day. I did try... on and off... and cut fruits are easy to get at hostel. But must watch sugar intake oso and i dun feel like cutting down on coffee and tea. sigh.... tho i probably shd. They didnt make suggestion abt caffine intake either, so not helpful.

Hmm.... i wonder how much yohgurt makes up a serving... but eating that will mean taking a serving of meat.

Sigh.... i give up.... try again next time.
