3. Balanced Diet
A healthy diet consists mainly of plant foods (e.g. fruits and vegetables, potatoes, soils, etc.) and moderate amounts of animal products (e.g. milk, fish, lean red meat, and poultry). Fats and oils should normally provide less than 30% of our energy, and less than 10% of this should be saturated fat. Lean red meat, poultry fish, eggs, and dairy foods are rich sources of animal protein. Dairy foods, apart from supplying quality protein, are excellent sources of calcium. G, good vegetable sources of protein include legumes (e.g. peanuts, lentils, kidney beans), soy products (e.g. tofu), grains, nuts, and seeds.
