Healthy Eating
Plenty of space is given over to discussions about how many calories an individual should consume to reach their personal goals.
Not enough space is given to choosing which foods and drinks will supply those calories and what other contribution those foods can make to a healthy eating diet plan. In this section of the per100g.com web site we aim to redress that balance a little.
The Balanced Diet
What is the mythical balanced diet?
Many diets can be healthy, nutritious and well balanced. The trick is to find a wide range of food and drinks which cover all the nutritional bases and then work out a selection of meals which deliver these to you in an interesting and sustainable way.
Nutritional Information
Can you tell your essential fats from your trans fats?
Vitamins and minerals, cholesterol and fat, carbohydrates and proteins. This part of the per100g site will give you a simple overview of the main components of a nutritious diet and point out which foods you could eat to fill up on them.
Understanding Food Labelling
Can you make sense of the different schemes?
Food labels should help us to make good choices of what we feed ourselves and our families. But the food manufacturers and the Government have yet to agree which information we need and how to present it on the packaging. Here we aim to throw some light on the options we commonly see.
Making Healthy Food Choices
How do you choose one product over another?
We are offered a bewildering choice of food and drinks every time we step inside a supermarket. So most people choose products based on familiarity and trust, otherwise known as "brand", and stick to them. A few well-educated choices in a routine diet can make an enormous difference to well being.
