JAKARTA - Excessive portion of eating can be one of the causes of excess sugar levels in the body which causes diabetes mellitus (DM). The occupancy of the Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital Nutrition Service Installation Sri Rejeki Wahyuningrum SKM, RD reminded the public to share food portions in a day to prevent diabetes.

Sri divides the portion of meals into four types, namely 20-25 percent of the total portion of meals a day for breakfast, 30 percent for lunch, 25-30 percent for dinner, and 10-15 percent for lunch.

"The portion of food must be divided regularly," Sri said as quoted by ANTARA, Tuesday, November 7.

For breakfast, Sri said, a person can eat wheat bread with orak-arik eggs or ceplok eggs, accompanied by tomatoes, cucumber, and lettuce, while drinking melon juice. However, if you don't have time to make orak-arik eggs or ceplok eggs, Sri recommends replacing the eggs with other sources of protein.

"Drying milk, we certainly choose (the right temperature). If the weight is still ideal, then you can have full-cash milk. If those who have increased a bit, choose low-fat milk," said Sri.

At 10.00 and 16.00, a person can eat Selingan foods, such as green beans, fruit juices, fruit juices, or fresh fruits.

"Those who are boiled, reduce fried foods. If it's snacks (horses), don't go fried again," said Sri.

Then, for lunch, a person can eat the various desired menus as long as the nutritional needs are still met and in the range of 570-600 calories.

"There is rice, the side dishes can be tofu or tempeh, fried chicken or grilled chicken, or pepes, and so on," said Sri.

Sri reminded you to be able to choose a food menu so as not to consume too much fat. Eating meatballs or chicken noodles, for example, is okay as long as you continue to monitor what nutritional needs are still lacking.

"For example, buy fruit if the meatballs are less fibered," he said. The same thing applies to dinner, with an adjusted portion, which is 25-30 percent of the portion of food for a day.
