Weight Concern - Addressing the Physical and Psychological Health Needs of Overweight People

How much can I eat?
The amount of food you can eat from each food group is determined by the amount of energy your body requires (your calorie requirement). Due to the increasing confusion about the words portions and servings, we have decided to describe the amount of food you can eat in terms of units from each food group. You can have more that one unit as a portion, for example a sandwich made up of two slices of bread would include two units from the bread, other cereals and potatoes group. How much can I eat from each food group?

	What is a unit of meat, fish and alternatives? What is a unit of fruit and vegetabless? What is a unit of fatty and sugary foods? What is a unit of bread, other cereals and potatoes? What is a unit of milk and dairy foods ?
