My lunch Story (with Nutrition)
Today I had my school lunch and I want to share it with you. I always like to notice what I eat and how it helps my body. Even simple school meals can give proper nutrition if the plate has balance.
My lunch today had rice, roti, dal, green peas curry, flat beans curry, salad, curd, and a small custard cake. It looked simple, but when I see it carefully, I can understand how each item contributes to my energy and strength.
Rice and roti gave me carbs – main energy source. They helped me stay active in school and focused during classes. Dal, green peas, and curd gave me protein. Protein supports muscle repair and growth, which is very important for students like me who are still growing.
Vegetables like carrot, cucumber, peas, and flat beans gave fiber and vitamins. Fiber helps digestion and keeps my stomach comfortable. Vitamins support immunity and overall health. Even the small sweet – custard cake – gave me quick energy, which was nice after a busy morning.
I also drank 500ml water during lunch. Water helps my body stay hydrated, supports digestion, and keeps me focused during school. I feel it is very important to drink water with lunch.
