USDA Food Pyramid
Re: USDA food pyramid
According to USDA, a healthy diet is a balanced diet. In its new USDA recommendation, it stresses one size does not fits all.
.For
example, a typical male, age 38 and his physical activity is less than 30
Minutes a day:
The recommended daily balance diet is:
Food Quantity 8 ounces Vegetables 3 cups Fruits 2 cups 2 cups Milk 3 cups Meet & Beans 6.5 ounces
| Food Grains | Quantity |
| Grains | 8 ounces |
| Vegetables | 3 cups |
| Fruits 2 cups | 2 cups |
| Milk | 3 cups |
| Meet & Beans | 6.5 ounces |
Other recommendations include: Make Half Your Grains Whole - Aim for at least 4 whole grains a day, Vary Your Veggies.
Aim for this much every week:
| Dark Green Vegetables = 3 cups weekly Orange Vegetables = 2 cups weekly |
| Dry Beans & Peas = 3 cups weekly |
| Starchy Vegetables = 6 cups weekly |
| Other Vegetables = 7 cups weekly |
| Oils & Discretionary Calories |
| Aim for 7 teaspoons of oils a day |
| Limit your extras (extra fats & sugars) to 360 Calories |
Sadly, most people do not eat balance diet accordingly. I feel guilty too. I
supplement my diet with a
Multivitamin daily.;
