The Eatwell Plate (anyone my age or above will probably remember this as the food pyramid but thats out of date now :)

This is the eatwell plate (formerly the food pyramid). It is a guide on your intake of food and shows you which food groups you should eat more/less of. It is a good way of comparing your every day diet to that which is recommended. Maybe write yourself a food diary over the course of 7 days, include snacks and drink and compare each day to the eatwell plate and see where you could improve.


If you would like any more information on the food groups, or any advice on diet please e-mail me on nickgorefitnesstraining@hotmail.co.uk

So, try to eat:

Plenty of fruit and vegetables

Plenty of bread, rice, potatoes, pasta and other

starchy foods – choose wholegrain varieties

when you can

Some milk and dairy foods

Some meat, fish, eggs, beans and other non-dairy

sources of protein

Just a small amount of foods and drinks high

in fat and/or sugar



As always thanks for reading, happy training, remember to stay safe, any questions drop me an e-mail NickGoreFitnessTraining@hotmail.co.uk.
