Eat well, feel great

Cereal products, including bread, should make up around a third of your diet; another third should come from fruit and vegetables. Most of the remaining third oshould be made up of milk and dairy foods, meat, fish, eggs, beans and other non-dairy sources of protein, with limited amounts of foods and drinks high in fat and/or sugar.
