Grains
Make half of your grains whole
 Any food made from wheat, rice, oats, cornmeal, barley
or another cereal grain is a grain product.
 Bread, pasta, oatmeal, breakfast cereals, tortillas, and
grits are examples of grain products.
Grains are divided into 2 subgroups:


Whole grains
• Whole grain bread
• oatmeal
• brown rice
Refined grains
• Are milled, a process that removes the bran and germ.
• Done to give grains a finer texture and improve shelf life
• But it also removes dietary fiber, iron, and many B vitamins.
• Ex: white bread, white rice
• Most refined grains are enriched. This means certain
B vitamins and iron are added back.
• Fiber is not added back in

Vegetables
Vary your veggies
 Any vegetable or 100% vegetable juice.
 Raw or cooked; fresh, frozen, canned, or
dried/dehydrated
Vegetables are organized into 5 subgroups, based on their
nutrient content.

Dark green vegetables: spinach, broccoli, dark green leafy lettuce

Orange vegetables: carrots, pumpkin, sweet potatoes

Dry beans and peas: black beans, black-eyed peas, kidney beans, soy
beans

Starchy vegetables: corn, green peas, lima beans, potatoes

Other vegetables: beets, brussels sprouts, cabbage, celery, cucumbers
http://www.mypyramid.gov/pyramid/vegetables.html#
Fruits
Focus on fruits
 Any fruit or 100% fruit juice
 Fresh, canned, frozen, or dried
Some commonly eaten fruits are:
• Oranges, apples, bananas, berries, grapes
http://www.mypyramid.gov/pyramid/fruits.html
Oils
Know your fats
 Oils - Fats that are liquid at room temperature, like the
vegetable oils used in cooking, come from many
different plants and from fish.
• Ex: canola oil, olive oil, soybean oil, sunflower oil
 Solid fats are fats that are solid at room temperature
and come from many animal foods.
• They also are the worst because they contain more
saturated fats and/or trans fat.
• Ex: butter, chicken fat, pork fat (lard), stick
margarine
 A number of foods are naturally high in oils, like: nuts,
olives, and some fish
• Most Americans consume enough oil in the foods
they eat.
 Limit the intake of oils/fat as much as possible
Milk
Get your calcium rich foods
 All fluid milk products
 Foods made from milk that retain their calcium content
are part of the group,
• If they have little to no calcium, such as cream
cheese, cream, and butter, they are not.
 Most milk group choices should be fat-free or low-fat.
 Examples
• All fluid milk, puddings made with milk,
yogurt, ice cream, hard natural
cheeses, cheddar, mozzarella, swiss
frozen
http://www.mypyramid.gov/pyramid/milk.html
Meat and Bean
Go lean on protein
 Meat, poultry, fish, and dry beans or peas, eggs,
nuts, and seeds
 Dry beans and peas are part of this group as well
as the vegetable group.
 Most meat and poultry choices should be lean or
low-fat.
 Fish, nuts, and seeds contain healthy oils

value.

meals

functions at rest.
Females = 1,200 calories per day
Males = 1,500 calories per day

Sedentary Person - very little activity - add 200-300 calories per day

Average Person - moderate activity - add about 1,000 calories per
day
