Every number has a source.
- Indian guidance first. ICMR-NIN, FSSAI and national surveys, then WHO, systematic reviews and major trials.
- Checked at the source. Each figure is confirmed in the paper or report it comes from, and numbered to it.
- Charts from real data. Drawn from the cited studies or the Indian Food Composition Tables, never illustrated.
- Review shown openly. Each guide says whether a registered dietitian has reviewed it yet.
