Build a Balanced Plate

Healthy eating is often made to sound more complicated than it needs to be. You do not need to create a perfect plate, follow a rigid meal plan or completely change the way you eat.

Build a Balanced Plate is a free 9-page guide designed to help you put together balanced, satisfying everyday meals using familiar foods. Based on the UK Eatwell Guide, it provides a flexible structure that can be adapted to your appetite, preferences, budget and routine.

Inside you’ll find:

• A straightforward explanation of the main Eatwell Guide food groups

• A flexible framework for building balanced meals

• Familiar breakfast, lunch and evening meal combinations

• Practical ideas for meals that are not keeping you satisfied

• Simple additions for including protein, higher-fibre carbohydrates, fruit and vegetables

• Guidance on using flavour, sauces and other useful extras

• A printable worksheet for creating your own meal combinations

The guide includes vegetarian and plant-based options throughout. It is designed to help you understand how different foods can work together without weighing portions, counting nutrients or expecting every meal to look the same.
