  1. Healthy Balance of food given to children Debra Alldis Northolt High School Catering Manager

  2. 5 a dayFruit and veg • Healthy eating has recently become a major issue in today’s society. • The population is being constantly reminded about living a healthy lifestyle, eating the right foods and the importance of reducing the amount of fat, salt and sugar in their diet. • “unless we act now the next generation face a bleak future of ill-health”. School Food Trust

  3. Men and Women • Men need 20 per cent more fuel than women • Women need about 1500-2000 calories a day • Men need about 2300-2700 calories a day • Very active person will need more fuel than someone who works in an office all day

  4. A teenage girl • 1500-2000 • How many calories for a teenage girl? • Approx 2200

  5. A teenage boy • 2300-2700 • How many calories for a rapidly-growing 15 year old boy who is quite athletic? • Approx 4000

  6. A growing child • When your child first starts school, he or she will suddenly start growing fast and becoming more active. Children's energy and nutrient needs are high in relation to their body size compared to adults.

  7. NOURISHMENT THAT MATTERS NOT NUMBERS • No child should be on a diet • Must eat 3 meals a day • Try and keep your sugar level on a straight line. • GI (Glycemic Index) products do this • “5 a day” fruit and veg……………fruit juice, tinned fruit, smoothies, soups • GET THE BALANCE RIGHT

  11. Protein…..builder

  12. Dairy……Teeth & Bones

  13. Sugar and Fats…..instant Fuel

  14. Why should you not eat too much sugar and fat Sugar does not contain fat. Your body uses sugar as fuel. Likewise, the fat and carbohydrates (breads and cereals) you eat are also broken down into simple sugars and used. Any fuel left over, no matter whether it came originally from sugar or from breads or from fat (because chemically it's now exactly the same thing) will be stored by your body. It does that by building fatty acids out of the leftover sugars and storing them in fat cells.

  15. How much of each • Bread, other cereals and potatoes: for example bread, breakfast cereals, yam, cassava, rice, millet, noodles, pasta • Fruit and vegetables: for example apple, banana, grapes, kiwi, cabbage, green pepper, canned sweetcorn, frozen peas • Milk and dairy foods: for example milk, cheese and yoghurt • Meat, fish and alternatives: for example ham, beef, herring, cod, prawns, eggs, hummous, nuts • Foods containing fat and foods containing sugar: for example biscuits, jam, margarine, mayonnaise, confectionery, crisps

  16. BREAKFAST • Government findings • Every week in Britain ½ Million pounds spent on crisps and sweets in shops between 8-8.45am • Diabetes found in very young children • Every one should eat breakfast • Schools must supply breakfasts.

  17. Breakfasts • It is important to encourage breakfast. A good night's sleep followed by food in the morning helps your child to stay active and concentrate at school. It also means your child is less likely to be too hungry during the morning. • Be a role model and let your child see you eat breakfast too. A bowl of old fashioned porridge oats (not instant) or scrambled egg on wholemeal toast, is a great start for the whole family.
