On average, women should have around 2,000 calories a day (8,400 kilojoules) and men should have around 2,500 calories a day (10,500 kilojoules). Unsaturated fats from plant sources (for example, vegetable oil or olive oil) are healthier types of fat.īut all types of fat are high in energy (calories), so they should only be eaten in small amounts. It's important to get some fat in your diet, but foods that are high in fat, salt and sugar have been placed outside of the circular image as they're not necessary as part of a healthy, balanced diet and most of us need to cut down on these. Try to choose a variety of different foods from each of the groups to help you get the wide range of nutrients your body needs to stay healthy. The Eatwell Guide divides the foods we eat and drink into 5 main food groups. Water, lower-fat milks and lower-sugar or sugar-free drinks, including tea and coffee, all count.įruit juice and smoothies also count towards your fluid consumption, but they contain free sugars that can damage teeth, so limit these drinks to a combined total of 150ml a day.įind out more about water, drinks and your health How does the Eatwell Guide work?
