An appropriate diet
is one that is both adequate and balanced. It should
recognize individual variations such as age and stage of development, taste preferences, and food habits. It also reflects the availability of foods,
socio-economic conditions, storage and preparation facilities and cooking skills.
The task of planning nutritious meals centers on including the essential nutrients in sufficient amounts along with appropriate energy and amounts of protein, carbohydrate,
fat, cholesterol and salt.
