Lecture Notes

Again, another source, if you're trying to plan a nutritious diet, is ChooseMyPlate.gov, and this is again, the government's suggestion for what our plates should look like, essentially, when we sit down for a meal. And you can see that about three-quarters of the plate is covered with vegetables, fruits, and grains, and a much smaller portion is covered in protein, just about one-quarter of the plate. And then also some dairy on the side. And so, check out ChooseMyPlate.gov. You'll be able to look and see what some examples are of meeting these requirements, and just see what our government recommends for planning a nutritious diet.
