1. Avoid preparing foods of the same food group in one meal, such as starches-pancit, spaghetti and rice, or proteins-baked beans, gluten minudo and fried tokwa.
2. Have a good balance between soft and solid foods. A meal of arroz caldo, guinataang kamote, and macaroni soup is far too soft. Likewise a meal of fried tolwa, pancit bihon, and cuchinta is intolerably dry.
3. Avoid preparing high seasoned foods in one meal. Seasonings should be used sparingly.
4. Serve only a few varieties of food in one meal. Two or three kind is enough.
5. Consider the cost of the food. Food not in season is always more expensive.There is enough variety among the inexpensive ones.
6. Observe food color harmony as much as possible.
7. Plan for a substancial breakfast.A good diet for the day begins with a good breakfast. The body is in greater need of food then than at any other time. If one is not hungry at breakfast, the cause should be sought out and corrected.
8. Supper should consist of the simplest meal of the day. If a hearty meal is planned, it should be served as early as possible.
