healthy diet
Balanced meal plan
A healthy diet is an eating pattern that supports physical well-being—typically emphasizing fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins while limiting processed foods, sugar, and saturated fats.
The term is common in nutrition advice and public health messaging, though specifics vary by expert and era: My doctor recommended a healthy diet and regular exercise.
