Carbohydrate : We get carbohydrate from rice, bread, potato and sugar.

Protein : Meat, fish, egg and some vegetables like peas, beans and lentils are good sources of protein.

Fat : We have fat from butter, ghee, edible oil and nuts. Vitamins: We get vitamins mainly from leafy vegetables and fruits. Milk, fish and eggs also contain vitamins.

Minerals : These are essential for good health. Milk, fish, vegetables and fruits have a lot of minerals in them.
