GET TO KNOW MYPLATE

The USDA's MyPlate graphic is a guide to eating healthy foods and represents the amounts of food that we should eat from each food group.

Visit MyPlate.gov for more information and additional resources.

MAKE EVERY BITE COUNT

It is important to eat a variety of food groups. This will improve your health today and as we grow older. Following the MyPlate guide can help you do this. Make half your plate fruits and vegetables, a quarter of your plate grains, and a quarter of your plate protein. Additionally, incorporate dairy into every meal. Each group provides us with unique nutrients that our bodies need. Try using the MyPlate guide to plan your next meal!
