he will have more energy to do her exercise and more motivation and it should help with her condition.

Thinking ahead and planning meals and snacks for yourself or your family based on the Australian Dietary
Guidelines and Australian Guide to Healthy Eating is the key to healthy eating and also the best way to lose weight.
Planning helps manage the budget, makes shopping easier and maximises foods that are high in nutrients, but
lower in kilojoules.
Suggested snacks -small amount of nuts, youghurt, fruit, celery and carrot sticks
Reading food labels:
The Nutrition information panel on a food label offers the simplest and easiest way to choose foods with less
saturated fat, salt (sodium), added sugars and kilojoules, and more fibre. It can also be used to decide how large
one serve of a food group choice or discretionary food would be and whether it’s worth the kilojoules. This is
particularly important if you are trying to lose weight.

First use the Australian guide to healthy eating to decide whether a food belongs in the five food groups and is an
‘everyday’ food for eating regularly, or a discretionary food best eaten only sometimes or in small amounts.

Then use the Nutrition information panel to compare similar packaged foods and to decide which product provides
less saturated fat, salt (sodium), added sugars and kilojoules per 100gm and more fibre per serve.
he would like a more detailed plan as mentioned so I have referred to a nutritionist - then I can support her following
that.

Read up on cystic fybrosis so I have an understanding about why the nutritionist will choose certain foods.
