Healthy Habits

A BALANCED MEAL

The plate below shows the ideal proportion of non-starchy vegetables in your main meal. It applies whether foods are served separately or mixed in together. Enjoy half of your meal as non-starchy vegetables. Another quarter of the meal is starchy vegetables or grainy foods like potato, kumara, sweetcorn, cassava, taro, or green banana, bread, rice, or pasta (about a tight fist-sized amount). The remaining quarter of the meal is protein foods like chicken, fish, meat, eggs, or legumes (about a palm-sized amount)

Just remember portion sizes - the plate does not need to be full!! A portion of a food should fit into the palm of your hand

ONCE AGAIN, MRS BURTON AND MRS FOWLER ARE COLLECTING THE NEW WORLD 'MINI SHOPS' TO USE IN FOOD TECHNOLOGY CLASSES.  IF YOU HAVE ANY THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO GIVE TO THE COLLEGE, YOU CAN LEAVE THEM AT THE SCHOOL OFFICE.  THANK YOU.
