What is Eatwell Everyday?

Eatwell Everyday shows you how you can use the Eatwell Guide to eat more healthily, bringing together all the recommendations for a healthy balanced diet including two examples of a week’s meal plan. 

The menus demonstrate the need to limit the amount of foods high in fats, salt and sugars in your diet, with meals that are based on starchy foods such as bread, rice, pasta and potatoes.
