The Foodies / Resources
These pages are a mixture of our own resources, and those we have found from other people and organisations. Some resources here have been provided by practitioners and parents who have tried and tested them, but you will have to assess for yourself the benefits for your own children and whether it will meet the guidelines you are working with.
Some resources are created by food industries. While they are not allowed to promote intentionally inaccurate information, they will naturally wish to promote their product as the most important part of the diet. However some of the resources they provide are very good when used in context. Wherever I am aware that a resource is industry sponsored I will say so, and you can exercise your common sense in evaluating it.

NHS Five A Day portion size guide04/03/2010 12:42:00 NHS Five A Day Portion Size Guide
Most people want to eat their five a day, but what exactly counts as a portion? This reliable NHS printable guide is a good list of portion sizes for fruit, vegetables, including dried and canned foods. It is very hard to find guidance for children's portion sizes as the variables are too great - age, stage and exercise levels, but the broad lines seem to be half the adult portion for pre-schoolers, and then scaling up from half to a whole portion during primary school so that they are eating a whole adult portion by about age 10.
