My Food Writing

LESS SUGAR MORE LENTILS!!

If you want to eat healthy you need to eat 10g or under of sugar and fat, but for sodium (also known as salt), you can have up to 400mg. A good way to remember this is: 10 10 400. Or
another way to remember that is that the number 400 starts with 4 and SALT is a four letter word.

Salt, Sugar and Fat are big worries if you want to stay healthy. But when you want to stay healthy, lentils are a good thing to buy! Lentils have 31mg of Sodium (Salt), 0.og of Sugar and 0.3g of Fat! Two other things that are in lentils are carbohydrates and dietary fibre. (You need to buy lentils if you want to see the amounts of carbohydrates and dietary fibre in lentils)

When we saw Harold the Giraffe last term we learnt about foods and also the food pyramid. In the food pyramid there are three categories, LOTS, SOME and LITTLE. For LOTS, it has fruit and vegetables, beans and bread, and some other stuff. In SOME it has dairy products like milk, eggs, yoghurt and cheese. In SOME there are also protein foods like meat and fish, for example.
Last of all, in LOTS there are foods like coke, candy-floss, lollies and cookies and chips.

YOU CAN STAY HEALTHY BY EATING GOOD FOODS!!

  1. we think that this is very sensible indeed.you certainly know the good and not so good foods-and your common sense and family will tell you what food you need to eat that does not have a lot of salt and sugar- always good to have some occasional treats though and you will grow up eating well and sensibly from habit.

  2. Hmmmm....I notice your food pyramid might be a bit in favour of coke, candy-floss, lollies and cookies and chips.
    But I agree go lentils - go Dad burgers and Dahl and Lentil loaf. :-)

    The 10:10:400 is a really easy way to remember what to look for in the grocery store. We shall have to test that the next time we go shopping.
