One of the main disadvantages of working in an office is the lack of control over the meals you have, especially if you do not have anyone at home to cook them for you. Most office meals are outsourced to contractors who supply low quality food to boost their profit margins. They buy the raw material in bulk from the wholesale market and use low quality ingredients.

For children’s breakfast is must and it should includes an egg, a glass of milk, toast with butter, a piece of fruit and whole grain cereals are also good for children’s. Try to avoid giving junk food in the morning meal to your children’s. This is the breakfast for children’s. After the breakfast children’s go for there schools in the lunch time children’s should have to take heavy meal because eating healthier lunch make children’s mind fresh and sharp. Most of school provides the lunch for children’s in there school. Most of children’s do not eat lunch in there schools and this is because of same food. Parents give there children regularly same meal and children’s are fed off from that meal and they don’t eat in the school and at lunch time they do fun with there friends in lunch time. For children’s lunch is very important to fresh there mind. So I give a suggestion to parents give a good meal to there children like: – soup, salads, fruits and sandwiches

In the morning we all should have to take a light meal like: – a glass of milk and juice because milk and fruit juice have many minerals that make people fit and fine. After taking morning meal I eat some of bananas in the intervals of morning and lunch time. Basically I eat many things in the interval of morning and lunch time like: – biscuits, dry fruits and cold drinks etc. After taking my morning meal in the lunch time I eat chapattis and rice.

Meals to remain fit

Breakfasts are usually light which basically consists of fresh juices, milk with almonds or wheat oatmeal. After that I keep myself busy in the household chores. Between breakfast and lunch comes a period where in one feels damn hungry. During that time fresh cut fruits or nuts are a best option which can fill your stomach on a temporary basis.
Lunch is light with fat free and oil free vegetables and chapatti with green salad. One thing which I have noticed is for keeping oneself fit he or she must eat a balanced diet that too in regard to time. Fix a proper time to and maintain a policy of eating whenever you feel hungry and not skip lunches or dinners frequently. Skipping food might land you in some other major trouble. Have a light snack before dinner and dinners are usually soup with boiled veggies. It’s better to drink more at night than consume because during the night time one does not get time to do any work out as they are on the whole tired after the whole day’s work so after dinner there is no such activity taking place by which you could burn out your calories.
Avoid eating much after 6 pm instead you could drink liquids like fresh juice, milkshakes etc. lastly it’s indeed very easy to make a schedule for ourselves, but the key point here is to follow it on a regular basis because the efforts which you took its fruits are going to be enjoyed by you yourself. Thus, one must have that will power in their mind to become successful.
More cooking tips

-Heat the oil thoroughly before adding seasonings or vegetables.
-Fry the seasonings until they change color, to get full flavour of seasonings.
I-f masala sticks to the pan that shows quantity of fat included is not enough.
-Add some hot oil and 1/2 tsp of baking soda in batter while making pakodas.
-When coconut is used in grinding masala, do not fry for a longer time.
-If you are making patties or tikkis of potatoes, always make sure that the potatoes are boiled well in advance and cooled before you use them. It would be better if they can be refrigerated for a short time. This helps the starch in the potatoes to settle down and the tikkis will not be gooey.
-To make pooris more crispy add a little rice flour to the wheat flour while kneading.
-Pakodas will turn out crisper if a little corn flour is added to the gram flour (besan) while preparing the batter.
-Heat a non-stick pan and add a little more butter than usual. Now beat the egg and stir briskly (even while frying) with a fork. This way more air goes in your omelet, making it light and fluffy. Fry till done and serve hot.
-Sprinkle a little amount of salt in the frying pan before adding bacon to fry. That way it will not splatter all over.
-When browning meat in fat, choose a large, deep pan. This will enable you to fry quickly, without splashing the stove with fat and meat juices.
-While using ginger and garlic paste in curries, always use garlic at 60% ratio and ginger at 40% as ginger is very strong and may make your dish sharp and pungent.

Dinner
Post contributed by Ruchika Kinger, MBA (HR)
Dinner used to be the name of the main meal of the day. Depending upon the culture, this may now be the second, third or fourth meal of the day.
In some usages, the term dinner has continued to refer to the largest meal of the day, even when this meal is eaten at the end of the day and is preceded by two other meals. In this terminology, the preceding meals are usually referred to as breakfast and lunch. In some areas, this leads to a variable name for meals depending on the combination of their size and the time of day, while in others meal names are fixed based on the time they are consumed.
Dinner is taken to be light so that it can be digested easily during sleep. In India generally people used to eat daal, rice and chapatti during dinner and other popular meals during dinner time are: Baked Vegetables, Bangla Khichdi, Black Gram Dal, Carrot Methi Subzi, Carrot Rice
Lunch
Lunch generally means noontime meals. Typically, businesses will use the standard word “Lunch” when referring to the noon meal to avoid confusion due to thewidespread use of Standard English.
Since lunch typically falls in the middle of the working day, it can either be eaten on a break from work, or as part of the workday. In parts of India a light, portable lunch is known as tiffin.
Generally people eat following dishes during lunch time
Chicken , Hamburger, Hot Dog, Hamburger, Stew, Aloo Gobhi, Salad, rice, vegatables
What to avoid during family meal times
Try not to be in the kitchen the whole time that the family is eating together. Try to finish everything as soon as possible and join them. Have an interesting conversation – as we said earlier anger and criticism are not compatible with meal. Try to have a leisurely meal, do not hurry it up – after all the basic idea is to spend time together and not be chasing deadlines.
