Step by step

How it goes

  1. 01

    Start with produce 3 min

    Make vegetables or fruit a visible part of the meal. Use what is affordable, available and familiar to you.

    Wash produce and follow normal food-safety practices.

  2. 02

    Add a protein source 3 min

    Choose a protein source you normally eat, such as pulses, dairy, eggs, fish, meat, tofu, soy or another suitable option.

    Respect food allergies and medically prescribed restrictions.

  3. 03

    Complete the meal 3 min

    Add a grain, roti, rice, potato or another familiar energy food, then include water or another suitable drink.

    This is general education, not a prescribed diet.

Listen to your body: stop if anything hurts, and check with a doctor if you have a health condition.
