How balanced is your diet?

08/03/2010 by admin.

Are you doing all the necessary things to ensure that you have a well balanced diet?  Here are a few things you can work on:-

• Start the day off with breakfast.  Something along the lines of porridge or wholemeal toast and a poached egg.
• Eat 2 - 3 portions of fish every week, preferably oily fish to get the ‘good’ oils that your body needs.
• Cut out white bread - replace with granary or wholemeal.  Also cut out or reduce white rice and pasta.
• Eat sufficient slow burning carbohydrates such as rice, couscous, bulgar wheat, wholemeal bread.  Complex carbohydrates should take up about 60% of your daily food intake.
• Eat 5 portions of fruit and vegetables each day.  Aim for variety - don’t get stuck eating the same fruit and veg each day.

How close are you to achieving the above?
