A balanced diet should have balanced quantities of macro and micro nutrients .
Micronutrients involve proteins , carbs , fats and fibres
Micronutrients involve minerals , vitamins and elements like magnesium, fluorine etc .

One should also make sure that he / she gets all the essential amino acids via the diet .
Along with it you also need to make sure that you aren’t having any entity in excess because it can lead to malnourishment too
