What to Focus On

  • Foods are classified by function and by food group system.
  • Energy giving foods supply carbohydrates and fats.
  • Body building foods supply proteins.
  • Cereals are the main source of energy.
  • All cereals provide carbohydrates, proteins, vitamin B, iron, and fibre.
  • Fibre helps maintain a healthy digestive system.
  • Milk is a rich source of protein, fat, vitamin A, and calcium.
  • Milk is a complete food for small children.
  • Skimmed milk contains very little fat.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Fibre is a nutrient just like protein, fat, vitamins, and minerals.

Refined cereals are better because they look cleaner and more polished.

Food exchange means any food can be replaced by any other food to make a balanced meal.

Memory Tips
