Answer:
The main problem with Nandu is that he is solely relying on a high carbohydrate high fat diet without engaging in activities to burn the extra calories.
A balanced diet is one, where there is an optimal portion of carbohydrates, protein, fat, fibers, vitamins and minerals. In order to improve the diet he can,
- Incorporate high fiber food namely, rice, potatoes, bread
- Eat protein like beans, pulses, eggs, fish
- Eat adequate portions of fruits and vegetables every day
- 'Drink at least '6 glasses of water' each day'
