The Eatwell Guide
2-5 year olds
The Eatwell Guide is a visual plate showing the foods that we need to eat to achieve a healthy, balanced diet for the whole family. The Guide shows the different food groups and the nutritional benefits for our bodies.
The Eatwell Guide is for children over the age of 2 years old. Try to include all of these food groups over the course of the day or week rather than having them all at every meal. It is important to keep in mind not to focus on each meal but what your child eats over the course of a week.
