The
MyPlate Portion Plate illustrates the five food groups using a
familiar mealtime visual - a place setting.
Three Key Ideas include:
Balancing Calories
· Enjoy your food, but eat less.
· Avoid oversized portions.
Foods to Increase
· Make half your plate fruits and vegetables.
· Make at least half your grains whole grains.
· Switch to fat-free or low-fat (1%) milk.
Foods to Reduce
· Compare sodium in foods like soup, bread, and
frozen meals—and choose foods with lower
numbers.
· Drink water instead of sugary drinks.
