Most of the foods we eat, provide several nutrients. So to make a wiser diet plan, it is prudent to select a combination of foods that deliver a full contingent of nutrients for good health. Our major focus should be on selecting foods that will deliver all the essential nutrients without excessive energy intake. Food choices made over years influence the body’s health, and consistently poor choices increase the risks of developing chronic diseases.

2. Planning a Healthy Diet
• Principles and Guidelines
• Most of the foods we eat, provide several nutrients. So to make a
wiser diet plan, it is prudent to select a combination of foods that
deliver a full contingent of nutrients for good health.
• Our major focus should be on selecting foods that will deliver all
the essential nutrients without excessive energy intake.
• Food choices made over years influence the body’s health, and
consistently poor choices increase the risks of developing chronic
diseases.
• Diet-planning principles and dietary guidelines are key concepts
to keep in mind whenever selecting foods.

3. Diet-Planning Principles
• Six Basic Diet-Planning Principles: ABCDMV planning
• Adequacy
• Balance
• kCalorie (energy) control
• Nutrient Density
• Moderation
• Variety

4. Diet-Planning Principles….
• 1. Adequacy: means that the diet should provide sufficient
energy and enough of all the nutrients required by the healthy
people.
• 2. Balance: The art of balance means use enough - but not too
much - of each type of food while planning a diet.
• e.g. meat, fish and poultry are rich in iron but poor in calcium and
dietary fiber; milk and milk products are rich in calcium but poor
in iron and dietary fiber.
• Grains, fruits and vegetables are rich in many vitamins, minerals
and dietary fiber but low in good quality proteins. Consuming any
one food may results in deficiency of a nutrient lacking in that
food, but create a balance among all these foods to provide all
essential nutrients in your diet.
• Balance in the diet helps to ensure adequacy.

5. Diet-Planning Principles….
• 3. Kcalorie (Energy) Control: It is the management of food energy
intake. So, it is very important to design an adequate, balanced
diet without overeating. For this purpose, the basic rule is to
select foods of high nutrient density.
• 4. Nutrient Density: It is measure of the nutrients a food provides
relative to the energy it provides.
• Nutrient density promotes adequacy and kcalorie control. The
more the nutrients and the fewer kcalories, the higher is the
nutrient density of food.
• Select foods that supply the most nutrients but the least amount
of food energy (kcalories).
5
6. Diet-Planning Principles….
• 5. Moderation: is the key for good diet planning and means
providing enough but not too much of a nutrient.
• Moderation contributes to adequacy, balance and kcalorie
control.
• Although, foods rich in fat sugar provide greater enjoyment and
energy, but these provide relatively few nutrients.
• So, eat sparingly foods that are rich in fat and sugar, and select
foods that are low in fat and sugar.
• Moderation contributes to adequacy, balance, and kcalorie
control.

7. Diet-Planning Principles….
• 6. Variety: means eating a wide selection of foods within and
among the major food groups.
• A diet may have all the nutrients but may still lack variety, if a
person eats same foods day after day.
• One can choose among various fruits, vegetables, meat, poultry,
eggs, fish dishes to create variety.
• Select foods form each of the food groups daily and vary choices
within each group.

8. Diet-Planning Guides
• Food Group Plans: is a diet-planning tool that sorts foods of
similar origin and nutrient content into groups and then specify
that people should eat certain numbers of servings from each of
these groups to create a balanced diet.
• Beauty lies in its simplicity and flexibility. e.g., milk can be
substitute for cheese (same group).
• USDA's Daily Food Guide, a food group plan: It assigns all foods
to five major food groups.
8
9. Diet-Planning Guides….
Recommended Servings: all food groups offer valuable nutrients,
and people should make selections from each group daily.
The recommended numbers of daily servings are expressed as
ranges:
- 6 to 11 servings of breads and cereals.
- 3 to 5 servings of vegetables.
- 2 to 4 servings of fruits.
- 2 to 3 servings of meats and meat alternates.
- 2 servings of milk and milk products (Older children, young adults,
women who are pregnant or breastfeeding, and older adults are
advised to have 3 servings).
-Foods that are high in fat, sugar, or alcohol provide energy, but too
few nutrients. Should be used sparingly.
9
10. Diet-Planning Guides….
• Miscellaneous foods: Some foods do not fit any of the food
groups.
• Examples includes salad dressings, jams, etc.
• Miscellaneous foods not high in kcalories, such as spices, herbs,
coffee, tea, and diet soft drinks, can be used freely.

12. Food Guide Pyramid
A graphic presentation of the Daily Food Guide. Designed to
emphasize variety, moderation, and proportions.
The relative size of each section represents the number of daily
servings recommended.
The broad base at the bottom conveys the message that grains
should be abundant and form the foundation of a healthy diet.
Fruits and vegetables appear at the next level, showing that they
have a slightly less prominent, but still have important place in diet.
12
13. Food Guide Pyramid….
Meats and milks appear in a smaller band near the top contributing
valuable nutrients, such as protein, vitamins, and minerals.
Fats, oils and sweets occupy the tiny apex, indicating that they
should be used sparingly.
Alcoholic beverages do not appear in the Pyramid, but they too
should be limited.
Items such as spices, coffee, tea, and diet soft drinks provide few, if
any, nutrients, but can add flavor and pleasure to meals when used
judiciously.
13
14. Food Guide Pyramid….
Tiny dots and triangles are sprinkled over the food groups to
represent naturally occurring and added fats and added sugars,
respectively.
The Daily Food Guide plan and Food Guide Pyramid emphasize
grains, vegetables, and fruits – all plant foods.
Some 75% of a day’s serving should come from these three groups.
This strategy helps all people obtain complex carbohydrates, fibers,
vitamins, minerals, and phytochemicals with little fat.
