Healthy Lifestyle

Hi Kelly,

whenever possible,try to make the host aware that U r diet conscious... This will not be possible always...so better eat wisely...

Ex: If U find a curry to be oily,try to take as little curry as possible with more of meat or veg from it...coz most of the fat will be in the curry rather than sticking to the meat(except when the meat/veg in the curry is also fried)...

Hi PR,

Thanks for the wishes...

Pls let me know the age,height,weight,activity level,health condition,any allergies she is prone to,her diet etc... It will take sometime for me to plan the diet coz i need to balance all the micro & macro nutrients since ur friend is pregnant...I will try to plan the diet within 15 days...:)

Thanks pr. Its there.
Can anyone let me know the difference between cal and kcal?

That was a good link pr...but don't be mislead by the calories given for cooked food coz each ones cooking style varies... even 2 spoons of extra oilcan give yor 18 extra calories...:)

Thanks a lot!
