Despite what you see in some diet books and TV programmes,
healthy eating can be really straightforward. A diet based on
starchy foods such as rice and pasta, with plenty of fruit and
vegetables, some protein-rich foods such as meat, fish and
lentils, and some milk and dairy foods (and not too much fat,
salt or sugar) will give you all the nutrients that you need.
When it comes to a healthy diet, balance is the key to getting
it right. This means eating a wide variety of foods in the right
proportions. But achieving that balance in modern life can be
tricky. After a long day, it can be tempting to grab the first
ready meal on the supermarket shelf, which is OK occasionally.
But the nutritional labels on these foods show that many ready
meals contain high levels of fat, added sugar and salt. If you
eat ready meals too often, they'll upset the balance in your
diet. The eatwell plate -
