When you choose a variety of foods from each major food group to ensure intake of adequate amounts of calories, protein, vitamins, minerals and fiber. Choosing a wide range of foods also helps to make meals and snacks more interesting. Adapt the meal plan to meet specific tastes and preferences.

The basic food groups are:

2.vegetables and legumes.
fruit.
3.milk, yoghurt, cheese and/or alternatives.
lean meat, fish, poultry, eggs, nuts and legumes.
