Everyone knows that a balanced diet typically consists of the 6 main classes of food, but can you create a balanced meal with Nigerian food?

Here’s how to create a proper balanced diet with Nigerian food.

1. Carbohydrate
Digestible carbohydrate in your diet provides you with energy, although in a much soluble and readily available form. Typically, Nigerian food rich in carbohydrates include: rice, yam, wheat, maize, pasta, sweet potatoes, amala, eba/garri, etc.

2. Protein
Protein is a good source of amino acids that make up your muscle tissue, support your immune health, transport molecules in and out of your cells and provide the basis for hormones and enzymes. Typical Nigerian protein sources include: beef, fish, eggs, cow milk, yoghurt, beans, pork, etc.

The fats, or lipids, you eat supply you with a very concentrated source of energy that you can store in your adipose tissue for later use. People like to avoid all types of fat because of weight gain, but the truth is that mostly trans/saturated fats should be avoided because they expose you to heart disease. Fat sources in Nigerian food include: Salmon fish, olive oil, skimmed milk, avocado, peanut butter, sardines, etc.

4. Vitamins
