Eat the right amount of the right types of foodIt'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.
