Describe the composition of the diet recommended by MyPlate, including specific food examples
What will be an ideal response?
The MyPlate healthy food plan contains five major food groups. The food groups are vegetables, fruits, grains, protein, and dairy. Whole grains, vegetables, fruits, and dairy provide the nutritional base for a healthy diet. When increasing the intake of these food groups, it is important to decrease the intake of low-nutrient foods to effectively balance caloric intake with energy needs. The consistent message is to eat a diet with ample fruits (mostly whole, limiting fruit juices) and vegetables, especially dark green and orange vegetables. At least half of grains consumed should be whole rather than refined grains. In terms of meat, poultry, and fish, the recommendation is to consume about 3 ounces and not to exceed 6 ounces daily. [Specific food examples will vary.]
