Hello everyone,
This post was inspired by a question I saw this morning. Unfortunately OP deleted their post (the comments were unhelpful), so I'm posting this here in case they come back.
As the title suggests, each country likely has a food guide to help people eat more healthy foods. Everything those free guides will tell you is the same as what a dietitian will tell you for a fee. The only difference is that a dietitian will help you customize the meals and address specific challenges unique to you.
So without further ado - here are a few guides I found in English. The US version includes several languages, but it's always best to look up a guide that is based on the local food supply and culture.
The reason I prefer government food guides is because most developed governments follow evidence-based policy, rather than pseudo-science that you often find online. Governments are not interested in selling you a specific diet, and they have an obligation to present factual information based on research. In addition, you already paid for this guide through your taxes, so might as well use it.
If you look through all these guides, you'll notice that they all say the same thing - eat more balanced meals, add more veggies and reduce sugar, salt, and processed foods. All these guides have recipe suggestions you can try out as a starting point.
USA - myplate.gov
Canada - Canada's food guide
Australia - eat for health
Lastly, I want to address the issue of poverty and proper nutrition. It is incredibly difficult to have a nutritious meal when you can't afford the cost of fresh produce or live too far from a supermarket. If you are in this situation, then look up community organizations in your area that can help you out.
