Abstract

Macronutrients like carbohydrates, protein, and fat are essential for body function  and energy. Carbohydrates play significant roles indiabetes and obesity. India's  calorie intake primarily consists of carbohydrates, with high-fiber diets being more  beneficial. Proteins are vital for living cells and muscle tissue, with over half coming  from muscle. Adults should limit saturated and trans fatsto avoid obesity, diabetes,  cardiovascular disease, and cancer. An optimal dietary regimen includes nutritious  meals, low-calorie meals enriched with vegetables, fruits, whole nuts, moderate animal  foods, and low-fat dairy. One of the popular diet types, the Mediterranean diet offers  significant nutritional benefits due to its abundant fiber content and slow digestion  rates. Western diets usually lack dietary fiber so that high-fiber foods can benefit health.   Sufficient water consumption is recommended for metabolism, cellular homeostasis,  temperature regulation, and circulatory function. So, overall, a balanced diet consists of   carbohydrates, protein, and fat combinedas primary food groups called macronutrients   and non-nutrients like fiber, antioxidants, and phytochemicals. This narrative review   also emphasized vegetarianism and non-vegetarianism; India's two primary diet types
contain plant and animal foodthat provideproportionate macronutrients. Adherence   tothe dietary guidelines by dietitians for diet plan preparationand its implementation   by patients are two critical aspects that must be practiced strictly
