You should Know Your Food Groups
Posted by adminMar 23

Â
Each day you should strive to make healthy choices from all the major food groups:
Protein—1-3 servings (meat, fish, poultry, beans, nuts)
Whole Grains—5-10 servings (some breads, some pastas, brown rice, some cereals, etc.)
Dairy—2-4 servings (milk, yogurt, cheese)
Vegetables—3-5 servings (lettuce, broccoli, mushrooms, carrots, spinach, etc.)
Fruit—2-4 servings (apples, bananas, berries, pineapple, etc.)
Oils—5-6 teaspoons (olive oil, salad dressings, butter, nuts, avocado, mayonnaise, etc.)
You well notice that the recommended number of servings varies quite a bit, especially within the category of whole grains. The number of servings you have should depend on your activity level and the total calories you eat each day. So, for example, if you exercise a minimum of 20 Â minutes a day, and eat 1,610 calories a day, you choose the lower number of servings. If you’re very active and/or eat 2,700 calories a day, you choose the higher number of servings.
I think if you use this information above , it will  help you eat healthy every day!
