The most effective way to take in
adequate amounts of nutrients is to
eat a balanced diet. Well balanced diet should include a wide variety
of foods from four different food groups and other foods:
1. Grain Products
2. Vegetables and Fruit
3. Milk Products
4. Meat and Alternatives
5. Other Foods
Portions of food identical in weight do not necessarily have the same
caloric content, and similarly, portions identical in calorie count may
differ vastly in the amount of nutrition each provides.
