Tracking My Servings From Each Food Group
Overview
Keeping a food record can help you know what you're eating from each food group. The goal for most people is to:
- Make half the plate fruits and vegetables.
- Try to eat whole grains.
- Eat lean proteins, such as seafood, lean meat, eggs, and beans.
- Switch to fat-free or low-fat (1%) milk.
- Drink water instead of sugary drinks.
If you aren't yet at this goal, it's okay. See where you are, and set small goals to get there. (For a personal food guide, go to www.ChooseMyPlate.gov.)
