Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -How Many Vegetables are Needed? MyPlate recommends eating between 1 and 3 cups of vegetables every day, depending on your age, gender, and level of physical activity (Table 1). For more information, visit www.choosemyplate.gov.
