Mostly As

You need to improve your diet! A diet like yours: high in fat, salt and sugar
and low in fibre, wholegrain, fruit and veg is linked to obesity. Try small changes
like more fruit and veg; ideally five portions a day. Aim to make one third of the
food you eat, starchy food such as potatoes, pasta, brown bread and rice. Cut down
on sugary drinks, sweets and cakes, and on processed meat products such as sausages
and pies.

Mostly Bs

Try some small changes to your diet. First, try to eat five portions of fruit and
veg a day. Dried fruit makes a great mid-morning snack. Base your meals on starchy
foods such as pasta, rice and potatoes. Wholegrain cereals are a great source of fibre.

6
Also, minimise your intake of processed meats such as pies and sausages, which are
high in saturated fat.

Mostly Cs

Well done, you're a healthy eater. Your diet is low in saturated fat, salt and
sugar, and high in fibre, fruit and vegetables is helping to keep your heart healthy and
protect against certain cancers. Remember, aim to eat two portions of fish a week,
including one oily fish high in omega-3, such as salmon, trout, or mackerel. If you’re
a vegetarian, remember to get enough protein from nuts and seeds, beans and pulses,
eggs, milk and soya.
