Good day, fellas. Do Nigerians still eat balance diet or they eat to beleful?

It's now
Eat to survive, hoping to see the end of APC
1 - 0 - 1 meal for many

Balance diet no be 1-1-1 or 1-0-1 oooooo

Make i clear una.

Balanced meal is for only the Rich now....even the unbalanced meal are not affordable...so we just eat what we see.

May God help us.... things are highly falling apart in Nigeria.

For the past 3 consecutive weeks I've been eating beans and bread nonstop.
250 naira a plate, twice a day, I walk around with 5 litres of water to keep myself hydrated.
Garri and soup is like a luxury now.

Whatever that fills your stamach is your balance diet

Let's pray for Nigeria

Meals can be cheap, yet balanced.
It depends on how nutritionally creative and willing one is.

Like this beans I made for example; I added tomatoes, onions, and some vegetables to it to make it more nutritious and delicious than the regular (way of making) beans.

Balance diet na for example: Morning; Tea, bread and egg, Afternoon; rice and stew with meat or chicken, Evening; Eba and banga soup

Are u trying to say that this food alone contains all the classes of food? Anyway, the food is nice based on the combination of vegetables and others. But if one eats this in the morning, will the meal still be balanced if u eat the same in the afternoon and evening?

Even the "cheap" beans is a luxury to many Nigerians these days.


Breakdown on ingredients for cooking beans
Beans 4cups -#120 per cup = #480
Tomato, pepper and onion =#350(no more #100 pepper or tomatoes.... onion na 3pcs #150
Palm oil -250
Gas 1kg -#900
Bread -#600 (optional)

Total = #2580



These days you'd be craving a meal then change plans after analysing the cost of the ingredients....beans that was not counted special before is now competing with basic soup.


I remembered how beans dey save guys for Loyo hostel for ACE back then.

I believe so.
You need at least one balanced meal a day.

What abt Carbohydrate? Note: Most Nigerians now eat to beleful Nobody give a damn abt Balance diet again. We now need food that would carry us from 6 to 6.

I used to be a BB(Bread and Beans) fan but the high cost and poor state of these Breads have discouraged me from eating the Bread and Beans. How can i eat a bread that is as light as Bolom, bolom?

This days you eat what ever you see and use your mind to balance it for it to produce the different vitamins and nutrient you need QED

Yes...If you either use Garri or bread..Some even use PAP/custard...The three additional things are all carbohydrate that completed the meal as a full balanced diet.


Now, having it as 1/1/1 is where the issue depends on individual choice and taste bud..And what one is already used to.

Somehow, water is now luxury considering the price. A single pure sachet water is sold for #20. There is a place in Lagos where a 30l of keg of drinkable water is sold for #150. A Borehole water of 30l keg is sold for #70.

Thank you.

I will. I promise.

I'm passionate about food and nutrition.
I'd love to teach/show people - especially the less privileged - that you don't have to spend a lot to eat nutritious food.

Is not true

I am not an advocate of food must finish before you stand

I believe in moderation..If you believe food is not your problem, you will be on moderation towards it.

Nothing wey person go chop wey go kill hunger for life...It will always resurrect
