Answer:
Nutrition needs differ with gender and age. A healthy diet for a man is different from a healthy diet for a woman. And what a middle aged male needs from his food for good health and growth differs from what a male baby, child, teenager or older person needs.
It’s important to know your specific nutrition needs for your age, and to design an eating pattern that suits you. If you combine your food plan with some regular physical activity, you’re on your way to good health.
What to put on your plate
Regardless of age, all men need good nutrition from a healthy diet. Nutrition is simply the process of getting from our food what we need for health and growth. And a healthy diet is the best selection of foods and drinks for that process to work well.
Without a healthy diet, you could be increasing your risk of chronic diseases, such as cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, some cancers, and even mental health issues, such as anxiety and depression.
As a man, your healthy diet will need to meet your unique physical needs, fit with your lifestyle, and reduce your risk of disease.
The Australian Government publishes dietary guidelines for Australians based on the best available science about the types and amounts of foods and dietary patterns that may promote health and wellbeing, and reduce the risk of diet-related conditions and chronic disease.
In a nutshell, the Australian Dietary Guidelines say:
Eat a wide variety of foods from the five food groups:
plenty of colourful vegetables, legumes/beans
fruit
grain (cereal) foods – mostly wholegrain and high fibre varieties
lean meats and poultry, fish, eggs, tofu, nuts and seeds
milk, yoghurt, cheese or their alternatives, mostly reduced fat.
Drink plenty of water.
Limit foods high in saturated fat, such as biscuits, cakes, pastries, pies, processed meats, commercial burgers, pizza, fried foods, potato chips, crisps and other savoury snacks.
Answer:
A male body's daily intake should consist of 40% Protein, 30% Veggies and 30% Carbs and others. Now by carbs, i mean GOOD carbs like sandwich, oats and dry fruits. Never go for saturated fats like Fries, Burgers and KFCs. Avoid regular sweets and chocolates (occasionally, it's fine).
A Diet Chart if followed, must be accompanied with a good workout schedule that would provide balance between internal immune system and fitness. A high protein diet (40%-50%) is difficult to digest and thus, workout is neccessary. here is brief Diet Chart:
Morning Breakfast: 1 Glass of Milk, 3 Eggs (2 Whole, 1 White), Oat Cereal in Cold Milk and Honey. This should be consumed within 1 hr of waking up.
Fruits - Apple, banana, Oranges, Watermelons, Strawberries after 30 minutes of Breakfast. Have Green Tea at Noon.
Lunch - Salad, 2 Breads, Veggies, Chicken/Fish/Mutton.
Evening snack - Veg. Sandwich. Body needs carbs between 4pm-5pm.
Dinner - Soups, Sprouts, Salads, Soyabeans, Chicken/Fish/Mutton.
Remember: Never skip Breakfast and have dry fruits and black coffee before workout. if u don't workout, have black coffee with sandwich in the evening.
