Plan Meals From All
Five Food Groups
Although most Americans are
eating more grain-based
fruits and vegetables than ever, a
recent national Gallup poll shows
that they are still not getting
enough for optimum health.
Last year the United States
Department of Agriculture
(USDA) introduced the Food
Guide Pyramid to encourage
Americans to replace unhealthy
high-fat foods with nutritionally
balanced meals rich in fiber and
complex carbohydrates. The Pyra
mid replaces the USDA-'s three
decades old “Basic Four” guide
lines with five food groups:
Breads, cereals, rice and pasta,
vegetables
fruit
milk, yogurt and cheese
poultry, fish, dry beans, eggs
and nuts.

No one food group is more
important than another, all are
needed for a healthy diet The
Food Guide Pyramid suggests
including at least six daily serv
ings of bread and grain foods in
your diet, three of vegetables and
two of fr. it. Two to three servings
each from dairy foods and meat or
protein foods also should be
included in everyone’s diet. Fats,
oils and sugars should be used
sparingly.
Because breads, cereal, rice and
pasta are at the base of the Food
Guide Pyramid, grain foods
should make up the hugest portion
of everyone’s diet. Only five per
cent of those surveyed said they
eat the recommended 6-11 daily
servings of grain foods. The
median respondent averaged just
three servings.
Misunderstandings about serv
ing sizes could be one reason more

Americans are hesitant about
increasing their bread and grain
consumption. But serving sizes
are modest, so the recommended
guidelines are easy to meet. For
example, a slice of bread or one
half cup of cooked cereal, rice or
pasta is one serving. One ounce of
ready-to-eat cereal is a serving. A

Increasing bread and grain con

overall fat percentage by replacing
