i have this conversation all the time.... the food is delicious, nutritionally complete.... OMAD, same food every day.
Balanced is a weasel word, it means whatever people want it to mean, it is an appeal to middle ground.
Oh look, a balanced food guide allowing alcohol... oh heavens, looks like the international body on balanced nutrition is slipping.
Alcohol also contains lots of calories (kcal) and should be limited to no more than 14 units per week for men and women
