Eat the right amount of the right types of food

It's not always easy to eat a balanced diet at every meal, however you should at least try to get the balance right over a few days or a week. Try and eat:

Plenty of fruit and vegetables: preferably at least five portions of a variety of fruit and vegetables every day.

Plenty of starchy foods: e.g. potatoes, bread, rice and pasta.

Some milk and dairy products: e.g. cheese, yoghurt and butter.

Some non-dairy sources of protein: e.g. meat, fish, eggs and beans.

Small amounts of food and drink high in fat or sugar: e.g. biscuits, squash and burgers.
