Contents of the healthy (recommended) Australian diet (for family of 2 adults and 2 children for a fortnight) as per the Healthy Diets ASAP protocol. This diet provides 33,610kJ per day, and is more equitable and more sustainable (25% less GHGe) than the current diet.
The images show the contents of the ‘current’ (unhealthy) and ‘recommended’ (healthy) diets used for diet pricing as per the Healthy Diets Australian Standardised Affordability and Pricing (ASAP) method protocol. The diet pricing tools list the types and quantity of foods and drinks in each diet for a family of four (a male adult 31-50 years old, a female adult 31-50 years old, a 14 year old boy and an 8 year old girl), for a fortnight.
Image 1 shows the contents of the ‘current’ (unhealthy) diet, based on intake reported in the most recent Australian Health Survey. It contains some healthy food and drinks, but also ‘discretionary’ choices. Discretionary choices are those food and drinks that are not required for health and are high in saturated fat, added sugar, salt and/or alcohol. The contents of the current (unhealthy) Australian diet (for family of 2 adults and 2 children for a fortnight) are according to the Healthy Diets ASAP protocol. This diet provides 33,860kJ per day, and is less equitable and less sustainable (25% more GHGe) than the healthy diet.
Image 2 shows the contents of the ‘recommended’ diet, which is healthy, more equitable and more sustainable. It includes the healthy food and drinks commonly consumed in the current diet, in the quantities recommended by the Australian Dietary Guidelines. The contents of the healthy (recommended) Australian diet (for family of 2 adults and 2 children for a fortnight) are according to the Healthy Diets ASAP protocol. This diet provides 33,610kJ per day, and is more equitable and more sustainable (25% less GHGe) than the current diet.
