The Eatwell Plate
• To keep healthy it is important to eat a BALANCED diet.
• The Eatwell Plate can help us understand how much we should eat of different types of food.
The Eatwell PlateThe Eatwell Plate is divided into five different sections:
1. Fruit and vegetables2. Potatoes, bread, rice,
pasta and starchy foods3. Meat, fish, eggs and
beans4. Milk and dairy foods5. Food and drinks high in fat
and sugar
The Eatwell PlateThe Eatwell Plate tells us our diet should be made up of:
• 33% - Bread, rice, potatoes, pasta and other starchy foods • 33% - Fruit and vegetables• 15% - Milk and dairy foods • 12% - Meat, fish, eggs, beans and other non-dairy sources of protein• 8% - Foods and drinks high in fat and/or sugar
The Eatwell PlateWe can see from the Eatwell Plate that we only need a small amount of foods high in fats, sugar and salt.
The way that a dish is prepared can change whether it is high in salt, sugar and fat.
By making small changes we can often make a dish much healthier.
