What is Eatwell Everyday?

Eatwell Everyday makes it simple to use the Eatwell Guide in your daily life. It shows you how to build healthier habits by turning the recommendations for a balanced diet into practical, everyday meal choices.

  • keeping foods high in fat, salt, and sugar to a minimum
  • basing meals on starchy foods like bread, rice, pasta, and potatoes
  • balancing your plate with plenty of fruit, vegetables, and wholegrains
