Paper 2
A diet containing the right types and amounts of nutrients, fibre and water to meet an individual’s needs.
Revise: Diet and nutritionA balanced diet supplies the right types and amounts of nutrients, fibre and water for an individual’s needs. It supports everyday health as well as the energy demands and recovery needs of physical activity. Balance means suitable proportions, not equal amounts of every component.
When defining a balanced diet, include both a variety of food types and an appropriate energy intake for the activity carried out.
