Where are tortilla wraps in the eatwell plate?

Answer 1

The Eatwell plate is a food guide showing the proportion

and types of foods that are needed to make up a

healthy balanced diet. It has been produced by the Food

Standards Agency to help people to understand and

enjoy healthy eating. You can follow the related links for more details.

The Eatwell plate is divided into five food groups:

1. Bread, rice, potatoes, pasta and other starchy foods.

2. Fruit and vegetables.

3. Milk and dairy foods.

4. Meat, fish, eggs, beans and other non-dairy sources

of protein.

5. Foods and drinks high in fat and/or sugar.

It is shaped like a dinner plate and has been designed

to make healthy eating simpler to understand and

interpret. As a general guide, you should eat more

foods from the largest groups and less from the smaller

groups. But for healthy balanced eating, you should

include foods from all the five food groups.

The Eatwell plate is designed for the general population.

However, there are further specific dietary guidelines

for pregnant women and young children, because these

groups of the population have very particular dietary

needs.

Remember, it's not necessary to achieve the balance of

the Eatwell plate at every meal; however, you should try

to achieve the right balance of foods in your diet over

the whole day or over several days.
