Food as Fuel
Food and drink provide usable fuel and building blocks for everyday life. How much a person needs varies with age, genetics, size, activity and overall food intake.
Everyday Factors
- Regular meals that include protein, carbohydrates, fats and fibre
- Movement across the week, including both planned exercise and daily activity
- Rest routines and recovery days
- Food variety, including vegetables, fruit, grains, legumes, nuts and seeds
Keep It Practical
Rather than chasing quick fixes, build routines you can repeat: plan meals, keep simple ingredients available, move in ways you enjoy and adjust portions to your needs.
