A well balanced diet

Eating regular meals

Try to eat three regular meals with snacks instead of just one or two large meals per day. Eating regularly in this way can help increase the variety of foods in your diet and helps if you are trying to achieve a healthy weight.

Eating a balanced diet involves eating a wide variety of different foods each day. The picture of the plate shows the different food groups and indicates the proportion of each you should have in your diet.

Touch the individual sections of the food plate to find out more about the food groups.
