Answer keys:
Food Groups and Balanced diet
Different foods contain different amounts of the important nutrients we need.
This is why we must eat a mixture of different foods-not just one type of food all the time. Food may be grouped as sources of carbohydrate, protein or fat.
Carbohydrates are contained in starchy food such as roots, cereals, bread and rice, and in sweet foods in the form of sugar.
Proteins are contained in meat, dairy products, fish, beans, seeds and nuts.
Fat-rich foods are butter, margarine, groundnuts, animal and plant oils and fatty meat.
We need a balanced diet to be healthy. A balanced diet is varied and contains different amounts of certain food groups.
Food provides the body with nutrients that are used for energy, growth and repair, and fighting disease.
Activity 3
Write the name of each food
in the correct circle.
We are going to group foods. Look at the foods in the picture.
Discuss which nutrients each food contains.
Some foods contain more than one nutrient: red meat, for example, contains protein and fat.
These foods can go in the spaces where the circles overlap.
Fill the circles with as many foods as you can think of.
Activity 4.
