What is 'overall food intake'?
'Overall food intake' refers to everything you eat and drink across the day, not just individual meals or snacks. The dietitian's advice to look at this bigger picture is crucial because one 'healthy' item doesn't cancel out less healthy choices elsewhere. It's about balance and consistency over time for better health outcomes, like managing diabetes.
