A healthy diet or balanced diet is a diet that contains the right amounts of all the food groups.
It includes fruit, vegetables, grains, dairy products, and protein. It does not include too much or too little of any kind of food. Eating wrong amounts of a food group, whether it is too much or too little, is called an “unhealthy diet” or an “imbalanced diet”.
