But who said eating healthy is boring and includes only vegetables and salads? Here is an all-day meal plan to kick start your healthy eating journey and I'm sure it will make you fall in love with its deliciousness too.
P.S: All these recipes are just easy peasy and lemon squeezy!
Breakfast

Lunch
Lunch provides a break from the activities of the day and gives energy for the rest of the afternoon. Eating lunch also reduces stress and gives your brain and body a small break.
Phulkas and Palak Paneer
Roti and sabji are a staple Indian food and we can’t go a day without it. A plain roti is an excellent source of soluble fiber, which helps lower blood cholesterol levels and phulkas are low in calories so you can eat one extra phulka without worrying about those extra kilos. Palak paneer is a protein-packed dish, filled with nutrients. A classic Punjabi preparation where paneer is cooked in a yummy gravy prepared with spinach leaves.
Snack
Masoor dal Pakoda
A garmagaaram cup of chai with Masoor dal Pakoda will be bliss. The pakoda-chai jodi is just unbeatable be it any season and if it’s monsoon, then it’s sone pe suhaaga. While we’re looking for just healthy recipes to try out, pakodas come under the ‘not so healthy’ category but eating in moderation is another health aspect. Try air-frying the pakodas and add jaggery instead of sugar for a healthy makeover to chai.
Dinner
Eat your breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, and dinner like a pauper. Just like this famous saying suggests, dinner should be light. But is should be healthy as well since you move on to the rest mode after enjoying your supper. When we speak about healthy and light recipes, how can we miss Khichdi?
Bajra Khichdi
This delicious delicacy is not just soul-satisfying but ultra-healthy too. Try this comforting bowl of Bajra Khichdi with a dollop of ghee on the top!
You can also improve your lifestyle by exercising regularly and practicing yoga and meditation. Staying hydrated is also as important as eating good food. Change your sleep schedule if it isn’t proper because your sleeping patterns can affect your health in more ways than you think.
