Daily Meals There are three main groups of foods ; 1) Body-building foods e.g proteins. 2) Energy-giving foods e.g carbohydrates and fats. 3) Protective foods e.g minerals and vitamins. Foods we eat daily must be from each one of the above-mentioned groups, so as to ensure the supply of the required nutrients in the most digestible form. A minimum of three meals ought to be eaten every day. It is imperative that a meal be eaten in the morning for energy to start the day's work. Eat fruit every day, particularly in the morning. This stimulates bowel action. Ensure you select foods in season for quality and cost effectiveness. Breakfast -This is the first meal of the day. The quantity largely depends on the requirements of the individual. Mid-day and evening meals - The size and character will vary with the individual and family.
