How to eat healthier meals

It can be tricky to know what to do with your meals if you’re trying to lose weight. Here are some quick tips to help.

Veg: go for 2 or more

Aiming for 2 or more portions of veg in a main meal means half your plate.

Protein: prize it!

Always include some protein – like beans, pulses, fish, eggs, meat or other types. It helps you stay full.

Carbs: stick to wholegrain

Carbs like potatoes, bread, rice or pasta should make up no more than a third of your meal – and try to have wholegrain versions where you can.
