Healthy eating?
I am 14/F and I want to eat the food groups what we are suppose to eat so I can keep healthy. How much grain, fruit, vegetable, etc. do I need to eat? I don't like milk, so what is another way I can drink it? I like cereal though. Is eating two slices of bread good to accomplish my grain servings?

Actrually they just changed the food groups and broke them down into smaller groups and slightly diffrent servings...now you're supposed to get more veggies and fruits than grains ! I don't have a guide ... go buy one and see !

Me and my friends are trying to eat healthily at the moment too!
You should eat 5 portions of carbohydrates every day. Carbohydrates include cereal, bread, grains, pasta, rice, crackers etc.
You should eat 2 portions of dairy a day. Dairy includes mik, butrer, cheese etc.
You should eat 2 portions of protein a day. Protein icludes lentils, pulses, fish, meat, eggs etc.
You should eat 5 portions of fruit and veg a day. Note that despite what people say, lentils and pulses do count as one of your portions.
You should try to only eat one portion of salty/fatty/sugary foods a day, such as crisps, chocolate etc.
If you don't like milk, I can only suggest that you try soya milk.
Two slices of bread would count as one of your carb portions, but try to eat wholemeal bread - it's much better for you.

Here is a site that lists what you are supposed to eat along with age appropriate amounts. If you have a printer you may be able to print it out for yourself.
