The Vegetarian EatWell Guide

Did you know that there is a Vegetarian Eatwell Guide?  You might have heard of the standard UK National Eatwell plate, which illustrates the food groups that you should be eating in what amounts. It’s helpful to see it visually. But what about people who don’t have meat or fish in their diets? What should it look like then?

The NHS has some useful information on Vegetarian diets:

The Vegetarian Society have adapted the National Guide to consider the nutritional needs of vegetarians.  Why not take a look?

Of course, these are broad population recommendations, and you might benefit from more targeted nutrition advice.

Your local health store will be able to put you in touch with a local practitioner specialising in nutrition, such as a nutritional therapist.
