1. Fruit and Vegetables
We need to eat LOTS of this group
We should all be eating more fruit and vegetables. But most of us aren’t eating enough. We should be eating at least five portions of fruit and vegetables every day. You can choose from fresh, frozen, tinned, dried or juiced.
But remember potatoes do not count.

2. Bread, rice, potatoes, pasta and other
starch foods provide us with energy and contain many important vitamins
and minerals. Wholemeal versions are good sources of fibre and help to provide
energy over a sustained period.

3. Milk & Dairy Foods contains calcium which is needed to keep teeth and bones strong and healthy. It is really important that children get enough calcium when they are growing up in order for their bones to develop properly.

4. Meat, fish, eggs, beans and other non dairy sources of protein. This group is essential for our growth and development. Vegetarian alternatives are included in this group, for example, tofu, soya and lentils. Oily fish is a great source of essential fatty acids such as omega 3.

5. Foods and drinks high in fat and/or sugar should be eaten only once or twice a day.
Foods from this group should be eaten
ONLY OCCASIONALLY
Foods from this group contain few nutrients and vitamins and when eaten to excess can cause weight gain.
