TWO EASY GUIDES FOR
HEALTHFUL EATING
First we had the Dietary Guide
lines for Americans issued by the
United States Department of Agri
culture and the U.S. Department
of Health and Human Services in
1990. Then in 1992, they pub
lished the Food Guide Pyramid.
The nutrition guidelines behind
these two guides are the same.
Among them are:
Reduce the amount of fat in our
diets. Nearly 30 percent of the fat
calories in die average diet come
from meat, fish and poultry. Nutri
tion scientists suggest limiting
ourselves to no more than 2 or 3
servings of these food per day, for
a total of about 6 ounces. They
also recommend choosing lean
cuts, trimming fat from meats,
removing skin from poultry and
enoying a meadess meal now and
then.
Increase the fruits and veget
ables in our daily meals and

snacks. On the average, American
adults include only about .3-1/2
servings in their daily diets from
these two food groups. Both the
Dietary Guidelines and the Food
Guide Pyramid recommend 2 to 4
servings from the Fruit Group and
3 to 5 servings from the Vegetable
Group.
Consume more whole-grain
foods among the 6 to 11 servings
recommended from the Bread.
Cereal, Rice and Pasta Group. The
average American consumes less
than 1/2 serving of whole-grain
food daily, while nutrition experts
say we need at least 3 servings
every day. These might include
whole-grain bread, brown rice and
whole-grain cereals.
The pyramid and the dietary
guidelines are really part of the
same recommendation to eat more
healthfully. If you would like to
have your own personal copy of
each of these, contact your local
county extension office.
