Besides discouraging fasting, did Baba offer any advice on the right amount of food to eat?

Yes, Sai Baba's guidance on food was not merely about avoiding fasting; it also included the importance of moderation. Chapter 32 clarifies that while he was against fasting, he also warned against overindulgence. The text explicitly states, 'Excessive eating is also not beneficial. Moderate eating is truly comfortable.' This indicates a balanced approach. He described excessive fasting as 'terrible' because it causes 'continuous discomfort,' but the implication is that overeating is also a source of imbalance and discomfort. The ideal state, according to his teaching, is one of comfortable moderation, which provides the necessary strength for spiritual life without leading to the negative effects of either extreme.
