well-balanced

Steady and proportioned

Well-balanced describes something with parts in proper proportion to each other.

A well-balanced diet includes appropriate amounts of different nutrients.

A well-balanced person is emotionally stable and mentally healthy—not prone to extremes.

The term applies to physical objects too: a well-balanced knife feels right in the hand.

In all cases, the idea is equilibrium rather than excess.
