  6. The Australian Dietary Guidelines The Australian Dietary Guidelines give advice on eating for health and wellbeing. They’re called dietary guidelines because it’s your usual diet that influences your health. Based on the latest scientific evidence, they describe the best approach to eating for a long and healthy life • Guideline 1 To achieve and maintain a healthy weight, be physically active and choose amounts of nutritious food and drinks to meet your energy needs • Guideline 2 Enjoy a wide variety of nutritious foods from these five groups every day • Guideline 3 Limit intake of foods containing saturated fat, added salt, added sugars and alcohol • Guideline 4 Encourage, support and promote breastfeeding • Guideline 5 Care for your food; prepare and store it safely

  7. So.. Lets get started…. • How will you work out what a 4 – 8 year old needs to eat?

  8. There are 3 things to consider • The Australian Guide to Healthy Eating • The Nutritional requirements of children • What they enjoy eating

  9. The Australian Guide to healthy eatinggo the website and explore this guide http://www.eatforhealth.gov.au/guidelines/australian-guide-healthy-eating

  10. Nutrition Calculators • The Australian Guide to Healthy eating tells you WHAT to eat, but you also need to know HOW MUCH. • Nutritional needs vary depending on your age and gender. • Your energy needs vary depending on your age, gender, height weight and activity. • The Nutrition Calculators on the eat for health website will guide you to make suitable choices • Go to this website and explore the calculators • https://www.eatforhealth.gov.au/eat-health-calculators • Find out: the energy requirements, the nutritional requirements and the number of serves per day required by your child. • Write this in a table and keep it for your action plan.

  11. Infants, children and teenagers have special dietary needs because they are growing and developing. They need more energy because they are playing and being active. • Make sure the food you choose is suitable for their needs

  12. How to go about it • Start by doing the Balance Game https://www.eatforhealth.gov.au/nutrition-calculators/food-balance • Play around with your menu choices to achieve a balanced menu. • Make sure you have the correct amount from each food group – keep an eye on the dials. • Take screen shots of your menu choices to include in your menu presentation

  13. Choose a main meal recipe for the day. • What menu choices did you include for dinner? • Put these into the advanced search function on taste.com.au • Search by ingredient and click the main ingredients you chose for your dinner • Choose a recipe that you would like to cook

  14. Analyse your recipe • Before you finally choose this recipe, you need to make sure it is healthy and meets your child’s needs • You do this by using Food Choices to check the nutritional value of the meal • If it doesn’t you will need to change some things – check with your teacher on what to change • When you are sure it’s a great choice, do your food order and email it to penny.mcintyre@ntschools.net • Follow the food order guidelines
