Half your plate should be vegetables and fruit, a quarter lean protein and a quarter whole grains. Include healthy fats and limit processed foods, added sugar and excess salt.
Ask a follow-up question →How many calories should I eat per day?+
Average needs are 2,000 calories for women and 2,500 for men, but this varies widely based on age, weight, height and activity level. Use an online calculator for a personalized estimate.
Ask a follow-up question →Which foods boost your immune system the most?+
Vitamin C (citrus, bell peppers), Vitamin D (fatty fish, sunlight), zinc (nuts, seeds), probiotics (yogurt, kefir) and antioxidants (berries, dark leafy greens) are top immune-boosting foods.

Create a moderate calorie deficit (300-500 calories/day), eat plenty of protein and fibre, exercise regularly and get enough sleep. Avoid crash diets — they don't work long-term.
