QUESTION - What 2 groups should we be eating more from?
Fruit and vegetables
* Eat more fruit and vegetables.
* We should all eat at least 5
portions of fruit and vegetables
every day.
* A portion of roughly what fits into
the palm of your hand, or a glass of
juice.

count.

Bread, rice, potatoes, pasta and
other starchy foods
This group includes:
• different types of bread, rice,
pasta and noodles;
• potatoes, yam and plantain;
• breakfast cereals.
Eat more from this group – try to
include something from this food
group at each meal.
• Choose wholemeal and wholegrain
varieties.
• This group is needed for slow
released energy and to keep the
gut healthy.
Milk and dairy foods
This group includes: milk, cheese
and yogurt.
• This food group is an important
for healthy bones and teeth.
• We need to eat 2-3 foods from
this group a day e.g. a glass of
milk, a pot of yogurt or a
matchbox size piece of cheese.
• Go for lower fat versions, e.g.
semi-skimmed milk, low fat
yogurt or reduced fat cheese.
* Essential source of Calcium
Meat, fish, eggs, beans and other
non-dairy sources of protein
• This group includes:
- meat, e.g. beef, chicken or lamb;
- fish, e.g. tuna, salmon or cod;
- alternatives, e.g. eggs, nuts, beans and
lentils.
• This group is needed for growth,
development and repair, and to stay
healthy.
• Visible fat and skin should be trimmed from
meat and poultry before you cook or eat it.
• Bake, steam, grill or microwave rather than
frying as these are healthier ways to cook food.
• We should all eat at least two portions of fish
a week - one portion should be from an oily
fish, e.g. salmon, mackerel or sardines.
Foods and drinks high
in fat and/or sugar
• This group contains:
- foods containing fat, e.g. pastry,
margarine, oil.
-foods containing sugar, e.g. jam,
biscuits, sweets.
• Foods from this group should be eaten
in small amounts.
• If you have food and drinks containing
sugar, have them as part of your meals,
rather than between meals. This will
help to protect your teeth from dental
decay.
