  4. Six Different Food Groups • Breads • Fruits • Vegetables • Dairy • Meats • Fats

  5. Breads- The Base of the Pyramid • The largest recommended source of nutrients throughout the day • To get the daily fiber needed, choose several whole grain products throughout the day. • Other examples from this group?

  6. Fruits - Natures’ Candy • Two to four servings are recommended daily. • Choose whole fruits instead of juices whenever possible-they are higher in fiber. • Most fruit flavored drinks are full of sugars and other added ingredients, rather than being nutritious. • Examples of fruit servings?

  7. Pork - “The Other White Meat” • Any red meat, fish, poultry or dry beans are included in this group. One serving of meat will generally fit in the palm of your hand. • Always trim as much fat as possible. • Choose to bake, broil or grill rather than frying. • Can you give other examples from this group?

  8. Spike Lee Dixie Chicks Rebecca Romain-Stamos

  9. Dairy - “Got Milk?” • Choose skim milk or lowfat yogurt often because they contain less fat. • 11/2 to 2 oz of cheese or 8 oz of yogurt are both considered a serving from this group. • Calcium from dairy helps to build strong bones and avoid osteoporosis.

  10. Vegetables • Choose from a variety in order to get different needed vitamins and minerals. • Go easy on butters and other spreads cooked with vegetables-They still count as fat. • Where can you get a V-8?

  11. Fats- All that and a bag of chips! • Fats are often generously added to other foods during preparation. • Try using substitutes for butter, salad dressing or salt. • Sugar free or diet drinks can be substituted for high calorie drinks. • Are there any other ways to avoid a high fat diet?
