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.

Student Reflection

I think my portion plate is appropriate because

i have  a variety of colors  and different kinds of vitamins and minerals!

Other things I could consider are maybe  search up some facts about the foods!
