Eat Healthy

Healthy eating habits are not easy.  Using MyPlate as a quick visual reminder can help prioritize food choices by making half of our plate fruits and vegetables along with a balance of whole-grains, protein and dairy.

Make It Easy

Visualize MyPlate
The visual picture can help you make healthy food choices all day.

Don’t Starve Yourself
Eating too few calories can slow your metabolism, making it even harder to burn fat.

Eat Often
Aim for 5 to 6 smaller meals a day.

Avoid Empty Calories
Soda, candy, chips…for all the calories these foods add to the diet, they bring along almost nothing else for the body -- very little vitamins or minerals or very little fiber.
