28. Foodplate
The main goal of the web application "Foodplate" is to help
people to evaluate their food (i.e. lunch) choices - energy content,
nutritional quality, environmental impacts and possible
contaminant exposure. The aim is to compile an ideal lunch plate:
which has the right energy content and nutritional balance, low
environmental impacts and human exposure to contaminants.
Most people eat 3 to 4 times a day. It is a goodindicator, because we need to eat 3 to 5 times a day.
The bigest of meals must be lunch and we should not eat 1-2 hours before going to bed, because active operation of the digestive tract can interfere with sleep.
This means that our diet must be as varied and balanced as possible. A balanced diet is one that contains all the different categories of foods in order to assure the systematic intake of necessary nutrients. These nutrients are found in almost all foods, but in very different quantities.
