Eatwell Guide

The Eatwell Guide was created by the government to help summarise what makes up a healthy balanced diet. The Guide does not apply to children under the age of 2 because they have different nutritional needs. Between the ages of 2 and 5, children should gradually move to eat the same foods as the rest of the family in the proportions shown in the Eatwell Guide.
