“A balanced diet is a cookie in each hand.” -Barbara Johnson
Over the years, the version of the word "Balanced Diet" has evolved, and this is the most common witty version of it. While there is quite an ambiguity in this argument, I would like to stick to my version of "Healthy Foodie." 😉
A balanced diet is a nutritiously balanced diet with the right combination of proteins, vitamins, fiber, fat etc. Any diet involves doing it in regulation and aiming to consume more nutritious foods than junk foods. Therefore, have fewer cookies, not the entire pack. OR chose a variety of smaller sized cookies (Duh!!! Problem solved).
