CONSIDER YOUR OPTIONS?

For a healthy diet you don’t have to stop eating foods which are higher in fat, salt or sugar – but you do need to balance your diet overall.If your food choices are putting you over your GDA targets, why not...

TRY THESE IDEAS?

If you like to eat some high fat/salt/sugar foods, choose foods lower in these nutrients at other times to compensate. "IT'S CURRY TONIGHT SO I'LL HAVE A LOW FAT SANDWICH FOR LUNCH "

Enjoy lots of fruit and veg – at least 5 portions a day. "DOWNSIZE FAT, SALT AND SUGAR; SUPERSIZE FRUIT AND VEG"

Remember, foods that look very similar can often have very different nutrient contents. Check the label and make the smart choice. "IT'S AMAZING HOW FOODS VARY IN THEIR NUTRIENT CONTENTS"

Keep active to maintain your energy balance. "I'LL ENJOY GETTING MORE ACTIVE"

Look out for 'healthier options'. Many foods can now be found in lower fat/salt/sugar versions. "PERHAPS I SHOULD SWITCH FROM 'REGULAR' TO 'DIET' COKE"

Keeping a check on your portion sizes can make a big difference. Try sharing. "I'M SURE SHE WON'T BE OFFENDED IF I HAVE JUST A SMALL PORTION OF PUDDING"
