The following tables are meant to help you develop a feeling for your own nutritional habits and to recognize recurring tendencies. If necessary, these tables can also be used to detect the nutrients missing from your diet and help you determine the necessary amounts for your needs. The selection of foods is based on the recommendations given in the main text of this book. The values given were taken from the GU Tables of Nutrition and Calories (Elmadfa et al., 2011).

To make these lists easy to use in everyday life, the individual foods and products are not just listed in grams and kilo calories, but also according to normal portion sizes. The exception to these are products normally bought according to weight or in pre-prepared units (for example, meats or yoghurts), or those whose ‘normal’ intake varies from person to person, such as fruit, vegetables, or herbs. For a better comparison, here, the values are given per 100 g.
