Fast Food web blog is a right time we say,.....Good Bye My pyramid,and say Hello.......MyPlate.....!
United States Department of Agricultural (USDA), food pyramid was created in 1992, and divided into six horizontal sectionc, which containing depictions of foods from each section's food group. It was updated in 2005 with colorful wedges replacing the horizontal sectoins and renamed MyPyramid. And now,....on the 2010, Dietary Guidelines, from MyPyramid changed to MyPlate food group. MyPlate divides a plate into four labeled section that show what balanced meal should look like. Fruits and vegetables take up half the plate, while the other side offers one section for protein and one session for grains. Dairy is seen to the side in a blue circle much like a cup.
The plate also shows how to balance your food groups. There's a reason the protein section is smaller: You don't need as much from that group. Eating more fruits and vegetables will help you eat fewer calories overall, which helps you keep a healthy weight. Eating fruits and vegetables also gives you lots of vitamins and minerals.
The plate features four sections (vegetables, fruits, grains, and protein) plus a side order of dairy in blue. How about the plate? The plate just like the pyramid where stripes were different widths, the plate has been divided so that the grain section is bigger than the protein section. Why? Because nutrition experts recommend you eat more vegetables than fruit and more grains than protein foods.
Here are the Dietary Guidelines 2010 messages for consumers:
1. Balancing Calories: Enjoy your food, but eat less, Avoid over-sized portions.
2. Foods to Increase: Make half your plate fruits and vegetables, Make at least half your grains whole grains, Switch to fat-free or low-fat (1%) milk.
3. Foods to Reduce, Compare sodium in foods like soup, bread and frozen meals, and choose the foods with lower numbers, Drink water instead of sugary drinks.
