GETTING THE RIGHT CALORIES

Just because you should aim to consume your recommended intake of calories every day, that doesn’t necessarily give you the green light to eat all of those calories in ice cream or cookies. Instead, your calorie intake needs to be varied across the food groups. Use the Eatwell Guide to help balance a healthier and more sustainable diet:

FRUIT & VEGETABLES

Eat at least five

Junk Food Starchy Carbs

Eat less often and in small amounts

Choose wholegrain or higher fibre versions with less added fat, salt and sugar

Proteins

OIL SPREADS& DAIRY & ALTERNATIVES

Choose lower fat and lower sugar options

Choose unsaturated oils and use in small amounts
