Enjoyable foods can remain part of daily life. Records support observation, not punishment.

Build an Ordinary Meal, Step by Step

Identify a protein source, then add a staple, fruit or vegetables, and an appropriate fat source. The PRD's half vegetables and fruit, quarter protein foods, and quarter staple model is a teaching reference. Portions and combinations can adapt to your needs.

Examples: rice + tofu or fish + cooked vegetables; noodles + eggs + greens; wholemeal bread + milk or soy milk + fruit.

Choosing When Eating Out or Shopping for Convenience

Identify available protein foods, such as eggs, soy foods, fish, or meat.
Look for staples and vegetables or fruit. Another dish or meal can add variety when a category is absent.
Choose portions in the context of hunger, activity, and current goals. Sauces and drinks can also be recorded.
When busy, choose a workable combination rather than waiting for an ideal meal.

Calorie and macro inputs are optional. Reference: food teaching guidance、NHS Eatwell Guide. Functional groups organize teaching; they are not a nutrient database.
