Hello all,
I rejoined the forums today and I am feeling rather motivated!
Over the last couple of days I have been doing a lot of research I have found out about the Nutritional Pyrimid but I am confused about portion sizes or if there is a recommended daily intake of the foods. Can anyone offer me some advice please? Or if anyone can provide any links for a newbie / dummy to healthy eating!
Here is what I know already and some questions -
Fruit and Vegetables -
There is a recommendation to eat 5 portions a day.
What makes a portion? Does the portion sizes vary for each type of fruit and vegetable
Carbohydrates -
Should comprise of the majority of each meal.
Is there any recommendation
Protein -
I don't know anything!
Is there a recommended amount that should be consumed?
Wholegrains -
I don't know anything!
Is there a recommended amount that should be consumed?
Diary -
I don't know anything!
Is there a recommended amount that should be consumed?
Is there anything obvious that I have missed?
Thanks in advance!
