4.How to maintain a balanced diet?

Eat foods from all five food groups. One of the cornerstones to eating a balanced diet is consuming foods from each of the five food groups: protein, vegetables, fruits, dairy and grains. Each food group offers different vital nutrients that your body needs. Aim to consume something from each group everyday.
Protein is essential to all cells and processes in your body, anything from building and repairing tissues to making enzymes, hormones and other chemicals. Ideally, choose lean protein foods like: poultry, eggs, lean beef, seafood, nuts and beans.

Dairy foods also contain protein, but are known for being high in calcium, potassium and vitamin D. Choose low-fat dairy products like yogurt, milk, cheese.

It can be beneficial to purchase a food scale to know exactly how many ounces of meat you are eating. You can also learn little tricks by looking online. For example, 3 oz of meat is about the size or a deck of playing cards.

Fruits and vegetables are two food groups that offer a host of nutrients like: vitamins, minerals, fiber and antioxidants. They are also low in calories which makes them an essential component to a balanced diet. Choose a variety of fruits and vegetables each day.
The grain group can be split into two separate groups: whole grains (like brown rice, quinoa or oatmeal)and refined/processed grains (white bread, white rice or plain pasta). Aim to make at least half of all your grain choices 100% whole grain. These types of grains are high in fiber, protein and other essential nutrients.

It can be difficult to have all five food groups present at each meal. Strive to consume foods from each group throughout the day. It's not necessary to consume all five at each meal.
