e_3_basic_food_groups#page2

Foods from the basic food groups provide the nutrients

essential for life and growth. These foods are also known
as ‘everyday foods’. Each of the food groups provides a
range of nutrients, and all have a role in helping the body
function. In particular, vegetables, legumes and fruit
protect against illness and are essential to a healthy diet.

The basic food groups are:

 breads, cereals, rice, pasta, noodles and other grains
 vegetables and legumes
 fruit
 milk, yoghurt, cheese and/or alternatives
 lean meat, fish, poultry, eggs, nuts and legumes.

A balanced diet includes a variety of foods from each of

the five food groups, and offers a range of different tastes
and textures. It is important to choose most of the foods
we eat each day from these food groups.
Children and adolescents need sufficient nutritious
foods to grow and develop normally.
 Growth should be checked regularly for young
children.
 Physical activity is important for children and
adolescents.
Enjoy a wide range of nutritious foods.
 Children and adolescents should be encouraged to:
 eat plenty of vegetables, legumes and fruits
 eat plenty of cereals (including breads, rice, pasta and
noodles), preferably wholegrain
 include lean meat, fish, poultry and/or alternatives
 include milks, yoghurts, cheeses and/or alternatives.
Reduced-fat milks are not suitable for children under
two years, because of their high energy needs, but
reduced-fat varieties should be encouraged for older
children and adolescents
 choose water as a drink and care should be taken to:
 limit saturated fat and moderate total fat intake. Low-
fat diets are not suitable for infants
 choose foods low in salt
 consume only moderate amounts of sugars and food

 Breads, cereals, rice, pasta, noodles and other grains

Breads, cereals, rice, pasta, noodles and other grain-
based foods provide carbohydrates, which the body
uses for energy. The best choices from this group are
wholemeal and wholegrain breads, cereals and savory
biscuits. Other good choices include brown rice,
couscous, wholegrain pasta and polenta.

Vegetables, legumes and fruit Fruit and vegetables

provide vitamins, minerals and fiber, and should be
included in meals and snacks each day. Choose a
variety of fruits, vegetables
and legumes (including different colours, textures and
flavors) to provide a wide range of vitamins and
minerals.

Milk, yoghurt, cheese and/or alternatives Plain milk,

cheese and yoghurt are the most common dairy
foods, and main dietary sources of calcium. Having
enough calcium is important for healthy bones and
teeth.

Milk is not recommended for babies under 12 months,

but small amounts in breakfast cereal, and other dairy
products such as yoghurt, custard and cheese, can be
given after nine months. Full-cream plain milk is
recommended for children aged one to two years,
and reduced-fat plain milk is suitable for children over
the age of two years. If children do not drink cow’s
milk, or eat cow’s milk products, they can have a
calcium-fortified soy drink instead. Rice and oat milks
are not recommended and should only be given to
children after medical advice.
Lean meat, fish, poultry, eggs, nuts and legumes.
This group includes red meat (such as beef, lamb and
kangaroo), white meat (such as pork, chicken and
turkey), fish and eggs. Non-animal products in this
group include nuts, legumes and tofu. Meat and its
alternatives are rich in protein, iron and zinc, and
essential for children’s growth and development. It is
best to choose lean meat and skinless poultry to
ensure children’s diets do not contain too much fat.

Vegetarian and vegan eating practices Some families

follow vegetarian eating practices. Usually this means
avoiding animal products such as meat, poultry and
fish. Many vegetarians still eat some animal related
products such as eggs, milk, cheese and yoghurt.

It is especially important that vegetarians eat a

variety of legumes, nuts, seeds and grain-based
foods, to gain the same nutrients that meat, poultry
and fish would otherwise provide.

Vegans do not eat any foods that have an animal

origin. It is very difficult to meet children’s nutritional
needs with a vegan diet, because the amount of food
needed for sufficient nutrients may be too large for
the child to manage. Plan carefully if your family
follows a vegan diet, and consult an Accredited
Practicing Dietitian to ensure that your child’s
 nutritional requirements are met.

What are 'sometimes foods'?‘Sometimes foods’ are

high in fat, sugar and/or salt. They typically have very
little nutritional value and are often processed and
packaged. There is no need to offer sometimes foods
to children on a regular basis.

Examples of sometimes foods include:

 chocolate and confectionery
 sweet biscuits, chips and high-fat savory biscuits
 fried foods
 pastry-based foods such as pies, sausage rolls and
pasties
 fast food and takeaway foods
 cakes and ice cream
 soft drinks, fruit juice, fruit drinks, cordial, sports
drinks, energy drinks, flavored milk and flavored
mineral water.
 s containing added sugars.
