If you are planning to go to any Paying Guest (PG), you need to ensure that the PG provides great food with healthy options.
Nowadays, many people don’t consider it good and just see the premises and other facilities provided by the PG. However, if you are not focusing on healthy food, you are making the big mistake of your health.
Overview of Food Facility in PG
There are food facilities available in most girls PG and boys PG. Some PG houses offer 3 times meal which includes breakfast, lunch, and dinner. However, the other PG houses offer 2 meals where you will just get lunch and dinner.
These PGs also have another option where you cannot opt for food and just pay for the PG. In the same way, there are some PGs where you can just pay for breakfast and lunch.
So, these customized meal plans attract many people. However, you should not go with such plans.
So, depending on these PG meal plans, people go with budget-friendly food. Some people will go with one-time food so they can save money on the other food. You should never make such mistakes. Instead, you should always find suitable PG for you.
Let’s start with why you should go with healthy food and then we will talk about a balanced diet.
Free From All the Diseases
Most of the diseases that happen to the human body are due to a lack of protein and vitamins. The main reason for this is food. If you are not eating well, you will come across many diseases which will make you sick.
Therefore, you should not just focus on the food facility but look for healthy food options in your PG. Healthy eating in PG is of utmost importance. If you don’t eat healthy, you will be in trouble. Stomach diseases are not easily curable just like others. Let’s talk about that.
Stomach Diseases and Infection
If you don’t do healthy eating out side from home, you will end up infecting your stomach. If your intention gets damaged, you will not only have to give up on your favorite food but the same problem can persist in the future at any point in time.
So, you will have to be careful in eating for your whole life. Therefore, it is important to ensure that you take proper care of your stomach especially if you are staying at PG.
During PG’s stay, you will not get as good care as you get in your home. So, this again invites unhealthy eating and drinking with friends. If you don’t eat healthy food, you will become sick which will eventually end you in big long-term problems.
Importance of a Balanced Diet
If you are planning to go with customized meal plans, you should always ensure that you are eating proper meals at least 2 times a day. Usually, people eat in the afternoon and evening. However, some people opt for customized meal plans and only eat for one time.
This should be one of the PG’s responsibilities to ensure that the guests are given properly balanced food. People who just pay for one meal usually end up eating nothing in the other half of the day. If you are one among them, you are inviting big troubles for yourself for your future self. If you don’t eat a regular and balanced diet, you will soon end up catching problems and diseases.
So, even if you are paying for one meal, you should ensure that you are getting 2nd meal from outside in a healthy form. You don’t necessarily need to pay the PG for the 2nd meal. However, that would be the most sensible thing to do.
Many people even go with the outside food instead of PG. this depends on the PG.
Outside Food vs PG
If your PG house provides healthy food, you should not opt for the outside food. Eating outside food once a week is good. You should enjoy your life too. However, if you start eating outside food daily despite your PG providing healthy food, you are causing trouble for yourself.
Flexibility Cancellation Policy
Your main goal should not be affordable or tasty food. Instead, your main goal should be healthy eating whether you do it in PG or you do it outside. It’s surely your choice.
The reason why recommend PG instead of outside food is because you will regularly get the food in your PG. If you go with outside food, you will eventually start eating junk food from anywhere without analyzing if the food is healthy or not.
You should never do that. If you have a reputed tiffin service that has healthy food, there are no issues in ordering from them. However, not having a regular meal option is bad for you. Sometimes, you will not feel like going out and you will start ordering online.
Cost-effective
Now that we are towards the end of the article. Let’s talk about the cost too. Many people think that PG meals are expensive. However, that’s not so. If you eat outside, you will end up paying a lot more. Support, if for one day, you end up eating just 50 rupees, but on the order day, you will end up paying 200 rupees for the food. So, eventually, you will not get healthy food and neither you will save money.
As discussed above, if you ever feel too lazy to go outside, you will start ordering online, and this will again invite extra charges for your meals. So, you will end up paying a lot more.
Summary
To conclude, this was all about healthy eating in PG. You should ensure that you are getting a balanced diet and eating healthy in your PG. The food facility in your PG is provided with the same intention to give you the best healthy food without you having to go outside.
You should only opt for outside food if your PG food is not of good quality or they are giving you unhealthy food.
Other than this, going outside for the food is never a good option. In the above article, we have discussed various things that people think of. Many people go with customized meal plans to decrease the cost.
You can surely do so as long as you know that you will regularly (daily) get healthy options to eat. You should not start skipping a meal just to save money or just because the food is not delicious enough. Remember, healthy eating should be your goal and not just tasty eating.
