Check out this plate!
As you can see, this plate is divided into sections, each with a different type of food. The biggest section is for vegetables. We all know we need to eat more of ’em, right? Then there’s the section for fruits. Gotta love those fruits! The third section is for protein. You can get this from meat, beans, or even tofu. And finally, there’s the grains section. This could be bread, rice, or pasta. Make sure they’re whole grains, though, for that extra fiber.
Why is this important?
Considering how busy our lives get, we hardly have time to think about what we’re eating. That’s where MyPlate comes in. It’s designed to make things easier for you. Just fill up your plate according to the sections and you’re good to go, y’all!
