The invention also presents methods of providing a balanced meal comprising the five essential food groups via provision of the packaging of the invention, or via provision of a selection of at least five receptacles containing foodstuff, each of which is colour-coded to identify the respective food group to which the foodstuff therein belongs. In addition, the invention provides labelling for food packaging comprising colour coding as described above and which is sized according to the proportion of the recommended daily intake of the corresponding food group contained within the packaging. Finally, a system for monitoring dietary intake to ensure the maintenance of a healthy and balanced diet is also provided. |
