Balanced food.

3. have some dairy or dairy alternatives (such as soya drinks)
4. eat some beans, pulses, fish, eggs, meat and other protein.

Explanation:

Foods that contain a lot of protein are called body-building foods or growing foods. Foods that contain a lot of fat or carbohydrates and perhaps only a little protein are called energy-giving foods. Foods in which the most important nutrients are vitamins or minerals are called protective foods.
