This is a bit different from the other national guidelines in as much as the recommendation for fruit and vegetables is higher (up to 10 a day if you're a man aged 19-50). Also it's quite specific e.g. eat at least one dark green and one orange vegetable each day. It also includes a recommendation for vitamin D supplements for the over 50s. The guide is very precise with regard to what constitutes a serving.
This is interesting, but not very generous 😕 It's almost the same as the weight loss plan I was given by the dietician which works out at 1400 calories a day 😕
Interesting to see how detailed it is, and I believe there is a similar one produced by the UK government to supplement the eat well plate if anyone thinks a portion control plan would suit them . ☺
I'll hunt that out IndigoBlue61 and link it on the UK Guidelines - I thought the Canadian portions a bit mean - 75 grams of salmon is about half what I'd have as a portion!
Interesting with the vitamin D as my doctor has recommended my husband who has MS should take a very high dose but also said everyone over 50 should have a smaller dose too. Hence I have been taking it for the past 3 months and I must admit I feel better mood wise too.
