Solution
Lila’s diet is not a balanced diet because her meal does not contain the adequate nutritional requirements. She takes only proteins and carbohydrates in every meal. She also requires vitamins and minerals in her meal to protect from various diseases.
Thus, I would suggest her to include fruits and vegetables in her meal, to obtain vitamins and minerals and complete her diet.
