Part 3: Make a Plan

MyPlate Choices for One Day

Every meal does not have to include every food group.

 

Combine at least three food groups at every meal, and at least two food groups at every snack. For example, combine an apple and peanut butter to get one serving of protein and one serving of fruit. This will help you feel full and give you long-lasting energy.

 

Here is an example that includes three meals and two snacks.
