What is a balanced diet?

A balanced diet is about:

1. eating the right food.

2. eating the correct nutrients, in the right quantities.

3. eating at regular times.

It is made up of the five main food groups:

1. bread, cereals (including breakfast cereals) and potatoes

2. fruit and vegetables

3. meat and fish

4. milk and dairy foods

5. fat and sugar

A healthy diet also includes:
