Running, singing, thinking, breathing – you need energy to keep your body going! Eating a variety of foods helps you get all the nutrients you need to stay healthy.
You eat mostly carbohydrates, fats, and proteins that are broken down into energy – measured in calories – to fuel your body. A healthy diet gives you just enough calories to supply the energy your body uses every day.
But don’t forget the vitamins and minerals in your diet. Although you only need small amounts of these nutrients, they’re essential for the chemical reactions in your body that help you develop and grow throughout your life.
DIRECTIONS
Identify the food groups on your dinner plate.
Compare the foods on your plate to
the MyPlate suggestions.
Decide how to adjust your food choices for a healthy diet.
WHAT’S COOKIN’
Use MyPlate as a guide to help you make good food choices. By eating smaller portions, more fruits, vegetables and whole grains, and less salt and sugar, you can enjoy your food and stay healthy with proper nutrition.
