A balanced eating plan is critical for optimal nutrition of children. This unit encourages students to make informed and healthy food choices aligned with the Australian Dietary Guidelines. It helps students learn about the health benefits of minimally processed foods and drinks. These include lean meats, poultry, fish, legumes, beans, grains, milk, yoghurt, cheese, vegetables and fruit. Students will be encouraged to limit their intake of foods identified by the Australian Guide to Healthy Eating as foods or drinks that should be only eaten sometimes and in small amounts. Key vocabulary students will use include energy, fat, sugar, sodium, vitamins, minerals and fibre.
