What should I eat today
I’ll answer from a Jain (ahimsak, satvik) point of view.
Here is a simple one‑day vegetarian (preferably vegan) plan you can follow or adapt:
Morning (after sunrise)
- Warm water
- Fresh seasonal fruit (avoid very old, overripe, or cut fruits kept long)
- Soaked nuts (almond, walnut) if you take them – avoid honey
Breakfast
- Upma / poha with vegetables
- Or vegetable daliya / oats
- Or phulka/roti with simple sabzi (low oil, not very spicy)
Lunch (main meal of the day)
- Phulka/roti (without ghee if you are vegan)
- 1–2 vegetable sabzis (seasonal, not root vegetables if you follow stricter rules like many Jains)
- Dal or moong/chana/sprout curry
- Plain rice / khichdi
- Salad (cucumber, tomato, etc., freshly cut)
Evening
- Light snack: roasted chana, fruits, or light homemade snack
- Herbal tea / lemon water (no honey if strictly vegan)
Dinner (before sunset if possible, or at least light)
- Very light and simple:
- Avoid heavy, fried, or very spicy food at night
General Jain guidelines you can follow today
- Strictly avoid: meat, eggs, fish, alcohol.
- Prefer: freshly cooked food; avoid stale/refrigerated food if you can.
- Eat with awareness: think of ahimsa and gratitude to all living beings.
- Do not overeat; leave some space in the stomach.
If you tell me:
- whether you eat after sunset or not, and
- whether you avoid roots (potato, onion, garlic, etc.),
I can suggest a more precise menu for you.
