Why choose wholegrain foods?

Wholegrain foods contain more fibre and other nutrients than white or refined starchy foods.

We also digest wholegrain foods more slowly so they can help make us feel full for longer.

Wholegrain foods include:
- Wholemeal and wholegrain bread, pitta and chapatti
- Wholewheat pasta and brown rice
- Wholegrain breakfast cereals

Is it okay to eat an egg every day?

Egg is a nutritious source of protein, vitamins, minerals, and other beneficial compounds such as lutein and choline. Therefore, it can certainly be consumed as part of a balanced diet. A healthy individual can choose to have an egg everyday as part of his/her diet. But if you have high blood cholesterol, or heart disease, it would be best to limit your intake of eggs as the yolk of the egg is high in cholesterol (200mg). This makes up two thirds of the dietary cholesterol you need from your diet.

A diet high in cholesterol contributes to elevated blood cholesterol level for some people. Generally, you are encouraged to consume no more than 4 egg yolks in a week. If you have an egg, then limit other sources of cholesterol for the day in order to avoid excessive cholesterol intake. Cholesterol can be found in all food and beverages of animal origin, with organ meat and shellfish typically containing higher amounts.
