Whats a balanced diet?
A balanced diet is a healthful diet one that includes nutritious foods (in meals and snacks) that provide the protein, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, minerals and water your body needs every day. “Balance” your diet each day with foods from the major food groups (see answer #1 above). A simple way to balance a meal is to use half your plate for colorful, vitamin-rich foods from the fruit and vegetable groups and half for foods from the grains, meats and milk groups.
