Nutritionist Shilpa Chaawla highlights five breakfast options that individuals managing fatty liver should reconsider: upma, poha, butter and jam sandwiches, tea with biscuits and toast, and packaged cereals.
Upma is carbohydrate-heavy when made from semolina with few vegetables, while plain poha can be high in carbohydrates with limited fiber and protein unless loaded with vegetables and peanuts.
Meals can be balanced by adding more fiber, protein, and healthy ingredients like vegetables, whole grains, pulses, fruit, nuts, and seeds while cutting back on refined carbohydrates and added sugars.
