Everyday Nutrition Basics for Students (General Wellness)

Food groups, a balanced Indian plate, FSSAI label reading and hostel eating — no diets, no calorie counting

Ghosla Academy · Wellness Team

This course explains everyday nutrition in plain language using Indian foods and situations. You will learn what the main nutrients do, how to put together a balanced thali, why water and fibre matter, how to read packaged food labels, and how to eat well in hostels, PGs and canteens without spending a lot. This is a general wellness course. It does not prescribe diets, set calorie or weight targets, or treat any medical condition. If you have a health condition, food allergy, are pregnant, or have specific nutrition needs, please consult a doctor or a registered dietitian for personal advice.

What you will be able to do

  • Explain the main nutrients and food groups in simple words
  • Build a balanced plate using familiar Indian foods like dal, sabzi, roti, rice and curd
  • Read a packaged food label in India, including the ingredients list, veg/non-veg mark and dates
  • Make simple swaps to reduce excess sugar, salt and ultra-processed snacks
  • Eat more balanced meals in hostels, PGs and canteens on a budget
  • Follow basic food hygiene and safe storage at home

What you build

  • Label detective: compare three packaged snacks
  • Plan one week of balanced home-style meals on a student budget

What you need to start

  • No prior knowledge needed — just curiosity about everyday food
  • Access to a few packaged food items at home or a nearby shop for the label project
