Information from Bupa about diet and nutrition
Common dieting mistakes
Dieting mistakes can prevent you from achieving or maintaining a healthy weight. But, with so many diets out there claiming to be the next best thing, how do you know what really works? Being aware of some common dieting pitfalls can help keep you on track to reaching your goal.
Understanding food labelling
Checking the labels on your food is a great way to improve your diet and make healthy food choices. However, it’s often difficult to know what you should be looking for and what it all means.

Count your calories
If you want to lose excess weight, you need to increase your physical activity and watch your calorie intake. Our calorie calculator can help you to work out how many calories you’re using in a day.
Getting your five-a-day
Fruit and vegetables provide us with essential vitamins, minerals and fibre. We all know we should be eating at least five portions a day, but what actually counts as a portion?

The right nutrition is important for the whole family – but how much do you know about what you should be eating? Try our short nutrition quiz and find out how much you know about a healthy diet.
