This Way or That

«5 a day» is another way of spelling variety when you eat fruit and vegetables five times a day. You can spread the five portions over just three or four meals. Here are just three examples of how you can make your diet work well for you.

If you prefer several small meals, your menu may look like this:

Breakfast: Muesli with fresh fruit
Mid-morning: One apple
Lunch: Cheese sandwich with mixed salad
Mid-afternoon: Tomato juice
Dinner: Vegetables and potatoes au gratin with ham

You do not like breakfast?

If you do not like breakfast, your menu may look like this:

Mid-morning: Natural yoghurt with fresh fruit, whole-grain roll
Lunch: Fish with potatoes and leafy salad
Mid-afternoon: One large carrot

You have no time for a mid-morning or mid-afternoon snack?

Your menu may look like this:

Breakfast: Fruit juice
Lunch: Grilled breast of chicken with rice and steamed vegetables
Dinner: Green salad, vegetable soup, bread and cheese
