Did Sai Baba's advice about food only focus on not fasting, or did he have a more nuanced view on eating?

Sai Baba's advice was more nuanced than simply being against fasting; he advocated for a balanced middle path. While he was strongly against depriving the body, Chapter 32 clarifies that he did not endorse overindulgence either, stating, "Excessive eating is also not beneficial." The ideal he promoted was moderation, as the text notes, "Moderate eating is truly comfortable." He saw both extremes as harmful, describing excessive fasting as "terrible" because it causes continuous discomfort and makes the mind unpeaceful. His complete view was that one should eat moderately to give the senses the strength needed for devotion, avoiding the spiritual hindrances of both deprivation and gluttony.
