5 Food Groups

The key to healthy eating is to enjoy a variety of nutritious food from each of the 5 food groups.
The Australian Guide to Healthy Eating displays the 5 food groups on a plate, in the proportion that you should be eating them throughout your day. If you eat a variety of foods from each of these groups, your body will receive all the nutrients and vitamins it needs to function.

Continues below the picture.
The five food groups.

Dairy
The foods in this group are excellent sources of calcium, which is important for strong, healthy bones. Not many other foods in our diet contain as much calcium as dairy foods.

Fruit
Fruit provides vitamins, minerals, dietary fibre and many phytonutrients (nutrients naturally present in plants, that help your body stay healthy.

Grain (cereal) foods
Always choose wholegrain and/or high fibre varieties of bread, cereal, rice, pasta, noodles, etc. Refined grain products, such as cakes or biscuits, can be high in added sugar, fat and sodium.

Lean meats and poultry, fish, eggs, tofu, nuts and seeds
Our body uses the protein we eat to make specialised chemicals such as haemoglobin and adrenalin. Protein also builds, maintains, and repairs the tissued in our body. Muscles and organs, such as your heart, are made of protein.

Vegetables, legumes and beans
Vegetables should make up a large part of your daily food intake and should be encouraged at every meal, including snack times. They provide vitamins, minerals, dietary fibre and phytonutrients to help your body stay healthy.
