2. Is there a perfect diet that can be used for a variety of individuals? What would it include?

3. Why is it necessary to consider the dietary habits of others when preparing such a party?

I've done my homework, now it's time for yours.

You see, you are asking ultimate strangers to do your homework for you so that you don't have to take the time and do the research yourself. AND you think you are going to do it for free. We are ordinary people who live ordinary lives. Do you think we have the time to help you cheat? NOPE.

People have different dietry requirements (men require more energy than women etc.) in addition to different personal food preferences

As with the vegetarian simply substitute meat with an alternative protein - this could be tofu chickpeas etc etc

Typically the meal should be 1/4 protein 1/4 complex carbs and the rest vegies

Thus you may have 120 g chicken or fish for protein, rice or pasta for the complex carbs then a mix of vegies.

By having half of the meal vegies the calorie intake is low

The meal can be made healthier by adding fibre e.g.. Brown rice and fat can be reduced by steaming or grilling the meal rather than frying.

Try adding crucifix vegies like broccoli as these are considered superfoods.

For desert try something low fat like apple and rhuburb crumble or low fat ice cream with a berry sauce etc.
