Detailed explanation-1: -Make half your plate fruits and vegetables: vary your veggies. Make half your grains whole grains. Vary your protein routine. Move to low-fat or fat-free dairy milk or yogurt (or lactose-free dairy or fortified soy versions).
Detailed explanation-2: -The 2020–2025 Dietary Guidelines for Americans* advise incorporating more fruits and vegetables into U.S. residents’ diets as part of healthy dietary patterns. Adults should consume 1.5–2 cup-equivalents of fruits and 2–3 cup-equivalents of vegetables daily.
Detailed explanation-3: -Like veggies, fruits have vitamins, minerals, and fiber. The red section of MyPlate is slightly smaller than the green, but together fruits and veggies should fill half your plate. Whole fruit is the best choice: Fruit juices have more sugar and calories per serving than whole fruit, and you’re not getting the fiber.
Detailed explanation-4: -Just by looking at MyPlate, you know right away that vegetables and fruits should take up half the plate and grains and protein foods each take up about a quarter of the plate. And with a side helping of dairy, you’re reminded to include milk or another dairy food (like cheese or yogurt) in your daily meal plan.
